What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
The family is the smallest unit of society but the most important and influential unit of society. Every child is unique and special and also a product of the family system, however, without the right tools and resources, it might be difficult for parents to harness and bring out the potential in their children.
I believe that with the right tools and support systems parents can guide their children to become well-balanced individuals who can contribute positively to the larger society. This is why I support parents to create the best and most effective strategy for their parenting journey. With the programs I have developed, I work with parents to teach, equip and guide their children with skills to reach their potential. My Coaching is based on my practice as a Psychologist,a family life practitioner, and a parent coach
All these approaches I use to help parents develop confidence in their own abilities and strength to build meaningful connections and influence their children. This helps them to build strong parent-child relationships
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing is the creation of The Smart Parenting Accountability Program, which is an inner circle program where I work one-on-one with parents on their parenting journey, and Also our TEEN Model which I use in coaching parents of teenagers to understand and connect with their teens.

Author of 8 Keys to Parenting Children with ADHD Co-Author of ADHD, Executive Function & Behavioral Challenges in the Classroom
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I believe parents parent from love, intuition, and logic, but that is often not enough when parenting a complex child. I help parents understand the social and emotional impact that ADHD and executive function challenges have on learning, motivation, behavior, and the whole family system. I provide them with education, tools, and strategies so that they have more confidence and ability to support their children. I approach each client with empathy and a non-judgmental belief that they have been doing their best with what they know.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The most important thing that has contributed to my success as a coach has been my own experience as a child and mother. When I became a mother I realized that you only start appreciating your parents when you become a parent yourself; this was a valuable insight that I remind myself of frequently. At the same time, my children help me grow and develop further every day. With love and challenge, they teach me to see things from a different point of view, they have shown me what genuine excitement is and they have taught me the extreme importance of connection. This connection is the most important component during my coaching journey.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
Parents struggle to implement the parenting advice they read. I solve that in 2 ways: First, I connect their personal values and vision for their family to their concrete day-to-day parenting decisions. That supports parents in being consistent and building trust with their kids. Second, from my 25+ years in the classroom, I teach parents how to use their bodies, voices and imaginations to engage their kids effectively, so they get the closeness and cooperation that makes for happy homes.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Holding fast to one key idea is what makes me a successful coach. People do the best they can at the moment and, at the same time, are absolutely able to change and improve with support and practice. When I hold that space 100% for my clients, that enables my clients to hold that space for their kids. That shift in attitude promotes transformation in the whole family system.

She is also very active on social media and is building an online community of conscious parents who want to free themselves from traditional methods of raising children.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
My coaching is based on neuroscience principles and is aimed at helping parents better understand themselves as well as their children. I use Non-Violent Communication to inspire parents to rethink the way they talk to each other, to themselves and to their children, so that everyone can learn to connect with their needs and feelings and express them assertively. My knowledge of attachment theory and respectful parenting help parents change their mindset when they feel stuck in situations so that with a new approach they can find better solutions for their families.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing is the ability to help parents look beyond the single moment, to set goals for themselves, to envision the kind of parent they want to be and to build a road that helps them get there. To free them from all the shoulds and feelings of guilt that parenthood brings along and to become the judges of their own actions based on their goals.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I cannot say for certain how I am different or what I do differently. My hope is that I offer an honest and helpful perspective as I have been practising peaceful parenting and reparenting for years and years with six diverse children. I well understand the highs and lows. So much of what I do to support others is what I have learned to do to support myself. I love Ram Dass’s saying, “I help people as a work on myself and I work on myself to help people.”
As I work on my triggers I can more easily find rest in the glimmers and rise to raise myself and my children, not perfectly but intentionally. People often ask me why I’m so interested in parenting, it’s wellbeing I am interested in. I love the work of re-parenting ourselves to live by our values and pursue our dreams as we honour our full human experience.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
I would say the single most important thing would be recognizing that I don’t need to be perfect to help others. This belief helped me feel more confident creating and sharing relatable empowering content. I hope and trust in the sacred service of consciously holding space for others. My hope is that people I can help find me. I take each person’s time seriously without taking myself too seriously. We all deserve to find brave spaces where we can be vulnerable and safely belong.
Ola Domaradz
Ola Domaradz is the founder of ABC Parenting who has spent the last 20 years fascinated by what it means to be human, what makes us behave the way we do and most recently by childhood trauma and development. She has been exploring psychology on her own and applying her learning to all relationships. In the last 7 years, all that knowledge was put to the test when she became a mother. The challenges she faced led her to train under dr. Shefali Tsabary and obtain a certification as a Conscious Parenting Coach.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
The biggest difference in my approach with parents is my ability to reveal to them how their perceived challenges with their children are their greatest opportunity. I focus on parental evolution and the reclamation of the self by inspiring parents to deconstruct their triggers and patterns. I use the Conscious Parenting Method and the Compassionate Inquiry approach among other disciplines to help parents strip away their layers of conditioning so that they can love who they are first and then deeply love their children. This truly helps liberate people from their own mental prison, accept and connect with their kids, and live a life of harmony and joy.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing has been my ability to relate to parents as a parent myself. I have deep compassion, empathy and an understanding of the many challenges parents face. My ability to be present and non-judgmental creates a space of trust and safety for parents to share anything and everything and together walk a journey to an amazing relationship with their child.

She is the founder and creator of the GPC Program (Growing Parents Coaching Program), a gradual path that begins by overcoming power-struggle issues, and gets right to the heart of every family member, in order to leave automatic reactions and create authentic conversations and emotional connection.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
My Coaching merges the most recent neuroscience-based Parenting Approaches with the proven-effective NLP and Coaching Techniques, applied to the Family framework. Parents develop new relationship skills and acquire new strategies and tools to apply and personalize in their daily Family life, in order to make clear what situation they’re in, identify their improvement areas, explore all possible solutions and take action. A goal-driven process, that redefines their Parenting Style, reduces stress, struggles and shouting, and helps them rediscover the pleasure of Family Life. I support Parents in Group Workshops as well as in One-to-One or Couple Coaching Sessions.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Parents feel I’m just one of them; being a mother myself, in fact, keeps me growing with my kids and learning every day. But Parenting is not only my life or my job; Parenting is my passion and my mission. I keep on studying and making research and, as long as I get to something that really works, I share it with my Coachees or introduce it in my Program. Moreover, my non-judgmental attitude, as well as my non-schoolteacher style, turns Workshops and Sessions into great opportunities to work on oneself and reach powerful personal insights.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing that has contributed to my success as parent coach has been sharing with my clients my own experience as suicidal teenager and the story repeating itself with my son. Bringing my own experience together with my skills on life coaching, NLP, NVR and first aid suicide interventions, being authentic and deeply caring to helps my clients has put me in a position where we build deep relationships between us enabling me to successfully help their families and turn their lives around.
