Shifting Perspective Pty Ltd

You love your child fiercely. And some days you still find yourself shouting, bargaining, or standing in the middle of a meltdown with no idea what to say, then carrying the guilt all evening.

I'm Gail Friend, an NLP Parenting Coach and toddler behaviour specialist with 18 years of experience supporting moms of children aged 0 to 9. I help with tantrums and meltdowns, hitting and biting, power struggles, tearful drop-offs and the everyday overwhelm of raising little ones.

My approach is different. Most advice focuses only on behaviour. I start with you. When you feel calm, clear and confident and know exactly what to do, you can follow through consistently. Your calm and clarity plus the right strategy for your child is what gets results. I learnt this with my son, who faced early challenges most people believed he wouldn't overcome. My calm and consistency changed everything. He is now thriving and independent.

Using NLP and my practical frameworks, The CALM Code and The Before, During, After Blueprint, I give you the exact words and steps for the hard moments. No judgement, just simple, real-life tools you can use today.

I offer 1:1 coaching, my Taming Toddler Tantrums programme, and parent talks and staff sessions for nursery schools.

Contact me for a free half-hour discovery call on 083 267 4624.

The Hive

There's a particular kind of tired that comes with growing a business and growing a family at the same time, and wanting to hold both well. The business is evolving. And somehow it feels heavier than it needs to.

 

I call this an Expansion Threshold™: the point where the next level asks for a different way of thinking, leading and structuring both your business and your life. I know it from the inside as a founder and mom, and I've spent 18+ years coaching leaders through these growth moments.

 

At The Hive, I partner with founders and business owners, many of them mothers, who sense they've outgrown the way they've been doing things. Together we look at what's really in the way, which is often more about identity and capacity than strategy, and design what comes next with more ease and aliveness.

 

You might recognise yourself here if you're the bottleneck in your own business, rest feels like something you have to earn, or you're holding it all together and subtly wondering what it's costing you.

 

What might open up if you stopped shrinking to fit a season you've outgrown?

 

I invite you to take the Expansion Threshold™ Diagnostic to see where you are right now. https://expansion-threshold-diagnostic.scoreapp.comhttps://expansion-threshold-diagnostic.scoreapp.com

  • It's FREE
  • 8 minutes
  • You'll get Instant customised insights

Or you can apply for a complimentary Expansion Strategy Session and let's explore what's next for you.
