Kids & Family
In this episode of Great Dad Talks, I sit down with executive coach and author Steve Barton to explore the powerful connection between leadership and fatherhood. Steve shares his remarkable journey of stepping into a leadership role at just 22 after his father's stroke, and how those early experiences shaped the way he leads in business and shows up as a dad.
Together, we discuss the importance of self-awareness, managing emotional triggers, and creating healthy boundaries at home. Steve also introduces his transformative "Game of 10" process—a practical framework built around six powerful phrases that help fathers reduce stress, quiet mental noise, and respond thoughtfully instead of reacting emotionally during challenging parenting moments.
Whether you're leading a company, raising a family, or both, this conversation is packed with practical strategies to help you lead with greater empathy, intention, and presence—in every area of your life.
