The Black Chair
Do not be that Dad / Mom / Boss / Manager
Relying only on our own flawed and limited experiences and the inabilities of our predecessors could catapult us in the opposite direction of enjoying a successful family life where we pictured ourselves going when we set out on the journey of parenthood.
Will the lessons learned and described in this book help you, your family, children, or friends as a group or individually? I certainly believe it would.

From the author …
Are we equipped for parenthood? Proper parenthood ensures our children are prepared for life, which entails far more than academic and financial preparation.
Parenthood comes without a manual … the devastation of this shortcoming is tragically etched all over the current family landscape: Family killings, child abuse, gender-based violence, broken family homes, more than 50% divorce rate, and ever-growing number of single parent and child-reared households … will a manual make a difference?
The Black Chair became our way of dealing with many of these challenges and uncertainties while finding our way to a violence-free, harmonious, loving, and peaceful household.
We love our children and need our presence, words, and actions to count. To equip them in becoming the pillars of future society.
Will they fail at times? Most certainly yes! Will they always make good choices? Most certainly not! They are human and I am realistic.
Make a difference. Get yourself … The Black Chair.

This book was written by a father and husband who painstakingly tested and implemented every process or suggestion before recording it in the book. The children on whom these techniques were modeled on, were consulted as part of the writing of the book as they were an integral part of the creative processes described in the book.
Many friends, family and clients have found enormous value in the implementation of the ideas.
The successful and practical answers require honesty, tenacity, discipline and the buy in of the whole family/team.
