“I inspire parents to behave better so that their kids will.”
Scott Huber is a Certified Parenting Educator for INCAF (International Network for Children and Families). He teaches the Redirecting Children’s Behavior course and is available for speaking engagements, workshops and private family coaching. Scott’s greatest desire is to create family everywhere he goes.
Scott has a clear understanding of the challenges a family faces in divorce, single parenting and step-parenting. He has been married twice and divorced twice. His marriages lasted 13 years and 10 years respectively. When his first marriage ended, he found himself single-parenting two daughters ages 10 and 4 at the time. He has also been a step-parent to two other daughters during his second marriage. He has lived through and experienced the challenges of divorce, single-parenting and step-parenting. He became involved with INCAF in 2002 as a result of wanting solutions to these very challenges. The tools, tips and general information found in the course and workshops is invaluable. They worked so well he decided to become certified as a parent educator, instructor and coach so he could help spread these results around to other families.
With over 25 years of corporate management experience leading both Fortune 50 as well as privately held companies through the training process and cultural changes for creating collaborative team environments, Scott has realized the value of these parenting concepts in the home. One of Scott’s primary areas of focus in the workplace, and now in the home has been engagement. Employee engagement is something most companies struggle with on a daily basis. Creating engagement and cooperation in the home/school are the primary areas of concern he hears from most parents and schools. After joining INCAF in 2002 he quickly realized he could help parents create an environment in the home that fosters engagement and empowerment by teaching children the basics of self-reliance and personal responsibility all while enhancing their self-esteem and dramatically increasing the effectiveness of parent-child cooperation. Today’s younger generation needs as many supporting characters as possible to prepare them for the responsibilities beyond their basic education. The workplace has become one of little or no loyalty. The advent of the information-age has placed more information at the fingertips of a 10-year old than most adults had in their first 30 or 40 years of life experience. Add to this the increasing levels of school and workplace violence and it becomes clear very quickly that a child with a strong sense of self that is prepared to make quick, wise decisions has a distinct advantage.
Scott is also a Charter Practitioner for the Power of TED* – The Empowerment Dynamic and he volunteers his time teaching inmates the concepts of the creative process of empowerment. The goal of the program is to prepare inmates to participate differently when they return to their communities upon their release from prison. He also incorporates these concepts in his coaching practice. In the early years of working with inmates, Scott was teaching some of the Redirecting Children’s Behavior concepts as well as some of his own training classes on communication skills and job interview skills. Scott has also served as a former Capital Area CASA volunteer advocating on behalf of children in need of care.
In addition to all of the training that Scott has listed above he has a BA in Theology from Barton College in Wilson, NC with a minor in Developmental Psychology. He also has accumulated in excess of 1,000 hours of training on the nature and dynamics of human relationships. The struggles that Scott has had over the years in relationships has given him a burning desire to understand more fully what causes the breakdown in relationships and if the breakdown has already occurred, how to most effectively minimize the fallout effects especially when children are involved.
