In episode 34, I get the chance to reconnect with a former colleague of mine from Kforce, Sandy Merein.   Sandy is a VP of Business Development at Kforce.  He is also a happily married man with two boys, ages 10 & 7.  Sandy has grown up on the east coast and found himself moving all of the US, including a small stint in England.  Today, we talk about an ever-important conversation – The Car Ride Home.  You will hear about his parent's approach to raising Sandy and also hear what Sandy is working on to become the ultimate QB of his own household.

No matter what your child’s activity or sport is, there is always the opportunity to drive home with them in the car after the game.  What do we do during those confined doors?  Do we critique? Do we judge? Do we coach? Do we listen and love?  So many approaches, but Sandy and I talk about one approach that was a huge impact on me.  

 Here are links to some great articles for parents:
