Feedback from seminars on Fathering/Parenting

Hello Bruce,

Just had to let you know, we watched the DVD “What Kids Need from their Dads,
and its just GOLD. Its so moving and simple and heartfelt, the impact just grows and grows. Who
wouldn’t want to be a better dad after hearing those lovely kids talking about what a difference it made.

You should be very proud of this DVD,

“That was an incredible talk. The best talk of the whole conference.”

“That talk was so moving, so inspiring – and so funny”.
“That talk was so good. It was wonderful”
Comments from the Society of Hospital Pharmacists Annual Scientific Conference, Canberra, Nov 2003.

 “That was the best talk I have ever been to. And I don’t mean the best talk on parenting. I mean the best talk of any sort. And I have been to dozens and dozens of conferences. His ability to engage with that audience of business people was remarkable“.
Dr Lou Irving, Melbourne.

“My husband took some of his friends from work to a Mens’ Breakfast at our church a few months ago at which Bruce spoke on fathering. He said it was a fantastic talk. Often the speakers at those events are bit dry, but what Bruce had to say obviously really touched their hearts. He has been reading the book ever since and meeting with his friends to discuss it over breakfast. He has been transformed as a father – and it is the same for the three friends that he took along from his work”.

“This was a good evening, with out 30 men, all fathers and 2 soon-to-be fathers.  Very relaxed style and presentation, in digestible chunks.  Enough information to get the group thinking without being over loaded.  Bruce did what he said he was going to do; provide a thought provoking, encouraging and enjoyable session exploring practical advice for busy fathers.  He is easy to listen to, not patronising or intimidatory.  A well judged evening”.
Peter Mumford. Health Management Consultant, London.

 “The men who attended the Fathering Seminar all felt that the session went very well, was very interesting and well researched and presented it in a very “inclusive” way” and several women have independently commented to me that their husbands found the talk very informative and worthwhile.

A number of women who had come along without their partners said that they thought the seminar was so brilliant they wanted to know when he was speaking next, as they felt they absolutely had to get their husbands along to hear it”.

 “The feedback from the talk has been quite terrific”.

 Your session on Parenting at the John Tonkin Centre for the Water Corp was a resounding success.

Bruce Robinson’s talk on “fathering from the fast lane” is a treasure trove of parenting wisdom. He uses a highly intelligent but simple psychological appraisal of children to identify that the key to family happiness is unconditional parental love directed to the needs of the child. Using a series of everyday examples, many gleaned from hundreds of interviews with parents, he highlights the pathway for forming loving and respectful relationships with children and teenagers. The talk is delivered with the panache of a professor and the wit of a gifted observer of the human condition. This is a talk not to be missed.
Dr Lou Irving, Melbourne

“Bruce. I want to thank you for your sincere and passionate ‘bunch of ideas’ presented last night.  It may be reassuring for you to know that it has already made a difference to my family – my husband was home for breakfast (that he helped the kids to prepare) and spent time playing cricket with our 6 yr old before school.   A small step in a very positive direction.
Almost coincidentally my 8yr old asked this morning if she could come with me on my next business trip to Sydney.  Instead of dismissing it as impossible, I am now working out how we could do this together.  I’m looking forward to reading your book for a few logistical tips on this one!
So THANK YOU for the time you are spending away from your own family to make a difference to others.”NS.
