How Doug Works With Families & Organizations

From keynote talks to private family consulting — find the format that fits your community or your family.

Seminars

Topical Seminars

Focused, standalone presentations for parent groups, church events, and school nights. Each seminar is self-contained — book one or combine them for a series.

Finances Seminar

A 60-minute presentation on building financial literacy in your household — saving, spending, giving, investing, and the habits that make money make sense to kids.

60 minutes · Any audience size

Technology Seminar

A 2-hour deep dive into screens, devices, gaming, phones, social media, and parental controls — practical strategies for families navigating the digital age.

2 hours · Any audience size

Focused Sessions

1-Hour Focused Sessions

Targeted talks on a single topic — perfect for parent groups, small gatherings, or adding to an existing event lineup.

Phones & Devices

When to introduce a phone, what kind, parental controls, contracts, and the conversations that need to happen before the device shows up.

Chores & Household Work

Building a chore system that works — expectations, accountability, paid vs. unpaid jobs, and the practical rhythms that teach capability.

Money & Stewardship

Helping your kids learn to save, spend wisely, give generously, and begin investing — age-appropriate steps that build real financial habits.

Tech & Screen Time

Setting healthy boundaries around gaming, social media, YouTube, and screen time — without starting a war every evening.

Private Consulting

One-on-One Family Consulting

Some families want more than a group workshop. Private consulting gives you Doug's full attention on your specific situation — your kids, your values, your challenges.

Whether you're navigating a phone decision for your 12-year-old, restructuring chores after a move, or building a financial plan your teenager can actually follow — these sessions are tailored entirely to you.

  • Personalized household economy assessment
  • Custom chore, financial, and technology plans
  • Follow-up sessions for accountability
  • Flexible scheduling (in-person or Zoom)

How It Works

1. Initial Conversation

A free introductory call to understand your family's situation and goals.

2. Assessment & Planning

Doug reviews your household and builds a customized plan across all three pillars.

3. Implementation Session

A working session to walk through the plan, adapt it, and prepare for rollout.

4. Follow-Up

Check-in session after 4–6 weeks to adjust what's working and troubleshoot what's not.
