Bio of Allison Livingston:

Allison is a parent coach for high achieving parents who are experiencing intense family dynamics, exhausting power struggles, and arguments over who's right. Over the past 20 years as the parent of 2 strong willed daughters, a parent coach, conflict resolution specialist, high achieving technical sales rep, and youth mental health first aid responder, Allison has observed and/or been involved in a great deal of conflict. All of these factors resulted in the education and thriving tools that enable parents to Break The Cycle of the ineffective coping strategies they grew up with. Instead of continuing with what leads to resistance and non cooperation, parents build the skills to connect and set clear limits.

Even when you are highly competent in the tech world, there are necessary skills to be a successful parent, ones that were never taught at home nor in school. Allison specializes in strong willed children, anger and intense family dynamics and if this is you, connect with her at https://www.5stepstoconnect.com/.

Bio of Jared Phifer:

Jared Phifer is a technical leader who has spent 20 years in software development & engineering. During that time he has had many different roles and responsibilities that cover the spectrum. More recently, he has found a passion in helping teams achieve high levels of performance and success by providing them with opportunities and giving them the tools to be a champion of their domain, then get out of their way.

Jared loves building development teams that share a common goal and have a culture of collaboration, accountability, responsibility and high energy. In doing so, Jared challenges folks to stretch out of their comfort zone to achieve new heights while still giving them the sense of safety they need to be confident in what they are doing. Jared leverages his personal brand as a way to support them in their endeavors and assure them that they have someone by their side on their journey and will cover their six when needed.
