Mindset Dad is a Personal Development Community and Support Network for Dads.
Becoming a father is arguably the pinnacle moment in any man’s life. You are no longer just a son, You’re the daddy, the creator of life, the leading male role model for a little person in this world. You now have someone to guide, nurture, protect, empower and develop.
What a huge responsibility!
Will I be good enough?
How will I provide everything they need?
Will I still have time for myself?
What if I mess this up?
The dads in the Mindset Dad Group will share their experiences to help you navigate this mountainous terrain of fatherhood.
If you want to be the best dad you can be, then you’re in the right place.
MY STORY - STEVE BRADSHAW (Founder of Mindset Dad)
My boy was born in 2015 and it was something I’d looked forward to all my life! When he arrived I experienced so many things I didn’t expect. Yes, there was a feeling that something incredibly important had happened and I was obviously extremely happy.
However, this very quickly descended into a state of anxiety, loss of confidence and loss of control. In fact, I became a nervous wreck!
I became anxious at work and in social situations, something I’d never experienced before! I was trying to be the best dad I could be but I had no idea that it was going to be this hard!
A few months before my boy was born I had started a high pressured job - perform or you’re fired type job - so I had no stability at home and none at work! As it unfolded, I was actually made redundant 3 times by the time my boy was just 2 years old. This added immense pressure and a feeling of worthlessness as a father.
It was at this point that I made a conscious decision to draw on all my resilience to learn how I could shift my confidence and mindset to become a better dad. The turning point for me was when I studied my Personal Performance Diploma with The Coaching Academy. I received regular coaching sessions myself to build my confidence and mindset.
The key is that you must continuously TAKE ACTION to develop yourself! Reading is not enough.
On speaking with hundreds of dads to understand more about their journeys, it transpires mine was far from extraordinary. I therefore felt compelled to raise awareness so dads wouldn’t feel so alone.
The Dad Mindset is:
The realisation that you are growing into the role; it doesn’t happen overnight.
You ARE in control.
You ARE good enough.
AND you HAVE all the tools you need to be a great dad!
Mindset Dad is a community where dads can gain support from other dads experiencing similar challenges and difficulties. Men need to speak to each other more and this is the place to do it.
Please join our community. We'd love to hear from you and learn more about your experience as a dad.
