From being unable to put a babygrow on his son on the day he was born, to hearing stories of his friend’s struggles to be the kind of dads they want to be, Dave has developed the course out of a desire to see more engaged, more confident and healthier dads.

Dave will tell the story of how his experiences of learning to be a father led him to want to share his challenges and lessons with the wider world.

Dave is the founder of The Dad Course, an innovative programme designed to help first time dads prepare for fatherhood.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
