64 Dave Galbenski on Learning While Teaching

“The best advice I can give myself as a dad is being a dad is a journey, not a destination. It’s about progress, not perfection. Be present, and when present, be present." Dave Galbenski on DADicated.com Dave Galbenski is an amazing entrepreneur and thought leader in the field of law from Michigan. He is happily married and has one daughter who is just about to graduate from college. Dave has won numerous awards for his business endeavors, he served as the chairman of the Entrepreneur’s Organization and founded the EO Leadership academy. He himself has learned a lot about the value of education and hard work from his father, who was the first in his family to graduate from college and has played a huge role in Dave’s life. In this session, Dave shares his views on how we are both teaching and learning throughout our parenting journeys and that we can never do everything perfect but we can always try to do our best. Dave emphasizes the importance of creating moments in our children’s lives and acting with intention, but also just being there for them when they need us most. The most powerful takeaways for me as a dad were: - Moments Matter. Moments are the molecules of our lives and our lives are merely a cumulative outcome of many moments. - Being a parent must be my number one priority. Figuring out how to make everything else fall into place comes second. - When you do your best you don’t have to be perfect. - Turn technology off wherever you can. “It’s our job to do this, this is what we’re here to do. And we won’t know anything, we won’t know everything, we’re gonna do some things that are gonna be imperfect, but we’re gonna give it our best and we’re gonna be intentional about it and we’ll keep learning along the way.” Thanks for listening, if you like this one, please share the session.
