Dad Central: Dad Mentor Program

DadCentral launches their Dad Mentor program, led by Drew Soleyn and Ed Gough, Jr., offering Masterclasses led by guest experts. 

DadCentral’s mentoring program has been designed to support father’s in their parenting process, noting:  

One of the key benefits of mentoring is the opportunity for personal growth. By engaging in a mentoring relationship, dads can develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their strengths, and their weaknesses. Mentoring helps fathers to recognize and overcome challenges, enabling them to model resilience and self-awareness for their children. Through the wisdom and guidance of a mentor, dads can unlock their full potential and become the best possible versions of themselves. 

Drew Soleyn, a Maxwell Certified Leadership Coach and Trainer, created a framework that has become the DadMentor and the Dad’s Roadmap programs, designed to help dads effectively connect, collaborate and coach their children. Ed Gough, Jr. has hosted The Dr. Vibe Show™ online for over twelve years, offering fathering coaching. He is a certified coach and has been training coaches since 2021. Since 2020, Ed has been the host and co-producer for Dad Central of their online fathering webcasts.
