Resources and recommendations that Dr. Beth Dawson would love to share with you.
Below are her recommendations for books, podcasts, blogs/articles as well as coaches and counsellors that are experts in areas outside of her professional competence and offer services that complement parent coaching and are aligned with a positive-communication approach.
She will only recommend those that she has personally read and listened to.
(Disclaimer: she knows the practitioners she recommends on a business and networking level but hasn’t used their services herself. She has used the information given to her and her personal knowledge of them to inform this list. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.)
