As we get closer to the end of our first year here on the TBOP Podcast, I'd like to revisit my favorite series: Lead the Way: Parenting with Influence

Part 1 of the “Lead the Way: Parenting with Influence" Series

Why don’t our kids just do what we say? In this kickoff episode of the Lead the Way series, Jackie unpacks one of the biggest frustrations parents face—and reframes it through a leadership lens. Drawing on insights from experts like Stephen Covey, Peter Drucker, and D r. Becky Kennedy, Jackie explores why authority alone isn’t enough and how true influence begins with relationship, not just rules.

You’ll learn how to shift from managing your household to leading your family with vision, connection, and trust. If you’re ready to stop repeating yourself and start parenting with purpose, this episode lays the foundation.

Key takeaway: Authority without leadership fails. Influence grows from connection.

Don't forget to follow the TBOP Podcast you you never miss a new weekly episode!
