Human needs are basic, food & water, shelter, clothing, safety, and belonging – we want to feel protected, safe, and loved. It’s an ideal, however this isn’t always the case.

In many instances relationships can determine the outcome of those needs being met – especially safety and love. Recently I encountered the term parental alienation – whereby one parent works to turn a child against the other parent. Using manipulative tactics & emotional abuse to undermine the relationship or withholding contact.

Charlie McCready experienced this first-hand when his first wife undermined his character with his children and questioned his ability to support the family financially over many years whilst married. What he learned from this he now shares as a parental alienation coach.

In episode 15 Beck Thompson, Author of Chasing Normal, shared her story about horrific childhood trauma and the love she longed for.

Love…it’s the foundation of life, creating bonds, a sense of safety, and security.

Love is crucial to build confidence, respect, self-worth, and fulfillment…there’s connection, belonging, and inner peace.

What our children experience can leave a legacy…positively or negatively.

The more people I speak with, the more I’m realising that trauma is a common thread in our search for love.

Fiona Lukeis felt a calling to teach people about love from an early age. Whilst she felt loved, the trauma of Vietnam left her father unable to process emotions calmly and she soon adopted the quick temper he modeled.

Seeking change in herself, it was the trauma of a violent relationship that became the catalyst for the life she lives now. Fiona believes all change begins with us for future generations to live without conflict.

Last time on What We Teach Our Children – Leadership specialist Deb Rae talked about the importance of certainty and connection, both in developing healthy leadership and confident children. For those who experience trauma in childhood there can be no certainty or connection.

What do we value most as children attaching to a primary caregiver?

Love…it’s the foundation of life, creating bonds, a sense of safety, and security.

Love is crucial to build confidence, respect, self-worth, and fulfilment…there’s connection, belonging, and inner peace.

We can have all the material possessions, education, cultural experiences, and money in the world, but without love what does it mean?

Beck Thompson has spent most of her adult life repairing the trauma of her childhood.

A trauma many of us could not imagine. A strict, cold, and abusive father, ruled her early childhood home, dominating the one person who showed any love – her mother. That love was stripped from her by a cult like grandfather whose predatory abuse left her feeling abandoned and all alone aged 8.

Her memoir ‘Chasing Normal’ documents a harrowing childhood story and courageous path to make something of her life, inspiring others to find relationship and connection.

In the previous Episode – Entrepreneur Tim Niesler talked about how his exposure to business & finances through his parents, set him up for future success.

But it hasn’t been without a lot of self-development and learning from mentors and coaches. Skills that make him a better leader and Dad.

The business coaching industry is experiencing unprecedented growth – 33% from 2015 to 2023 (an average 6.7% per annum) and future growth projections for the multi-billion-dollar sector to 2032 are set to double at 13.9%.

Deb Rae entered the workforce as a university graduate with a Bachelor of Arts.

Since then, her studies in professional and community development provided opportunities in regional Queensland, Australia – that led to her own business as a consultant, coaching leaders and teams.

It’s important that we support children as future leaders to understand what’s required when navigating change. Change is a component of life and something many of us find challenging, but we can prepare ourselves for uncertainty and resist the fear.

For Deb working in psychological safety has provided a front row seat to what makes us human. Using her own personal experience, she explains how we can cultivate critical skills to continue adapting through periods of rapid change, where AI can never replace us.

Language warning!!

This week’s story comes with a language warning for those of you who may be listening in the presence of children or anyone offended by the F word in general conversation.

From Gen X to Z society has inordinately changed – technology advancement has influenced every aspect of life and driven economies, business and consumerism. All of which influence children and impact peer pressure, especially during the school years.

Tim Niesler is a successful entrepreneur whose childhood experiences shaped his values around business and family. He believes that you can’t provide support to anyone until they recognise their need to change, which starts in personal development.

FC Accounting reflects these values supporting hospitality business owners who identify they’d like to work less hours, increase their profit, and spend more time with their family.

We begin our conversation in Tim’s childhood to establish what it was about his upbringing that formed the foundation of his business passion and acumen.
