So, what actually happens in an Agile Parenting Workshop?
It starts with a little theory — our ideas, our experiences, the tools and methods that have made a difference. Then it opens up: experiments, discussions, and room to figure out what might actually work for your family.
By the end, every participant should feel ready to start their own agile parenting practice. No obligation — but the option, clearly within reach.
Most families wish for more sanity 😉
“It [mental wellbeing] is more than just going to yoga classes or meditating – it is about understanding our roles, negotiating boundaries, communicating needs with confidence, our sense of leadership, and emotional awareness – and it takes work and yes, some pain. But trust me, with pain comes resilience. The pain is worth it.”
Quote from Enoch Li, our friend, mental health care pioneer and founder of Bearapy
How do we do it?
A large family with young children and a minimalist lifestyle has entirely different needs than a solo mum with a demanding career and a teenage daughter. One might be looking for a fairer way to split the household chores. The other wants to cut energy drainers and protect the time that matters.
Both leave with something useful.
We introduce SCRUM and other agile methods — then step back and let participants shape them to fit their own reality. We’re there to guide, not prescribe.
Below is the outline from a workshop Wang Man ran with her daughter Sophie. Together, they introduced the Challenge Board — an agile tool they’d already used in their own home to get a handle on the habits neither of them was proud of.
How does it work?
Companies invite us when they want to do something genuinely useful for their people — not another wellbeing initiative that gathers dust, but a session that sends parents home with tools they’ll actually use.
We also love showing up as part of larger events: agile communities, female leadership forums, innovation gatherings. Give us a slot and we’ll make it count.
The format works best for parents in high-performing environments — mothers and fathers who bring the same drive to family life that they bring to work, and want the methods to match.
What we need from you: 20 to 30 open-minded participants, a room with enough wall space for flip chart papers, and decent coffee. We bring everything else.
