Family Leadership Councils – Christopher & Melanie Ballard

Family Leadership Councils
Boost the strength of your homeschool, family, and marriage with this simple yet powerful tool–Family Leadership Councils. We will talk about how, when and why to hold councils as a husband and wife and why these councils are the best homeschooling tool you can ever have!

Chris and Melanie are a joy to work with. They came into the studio a little hesitant but their questions were answered and they were immediately at ease. They were very well prepared.
They asked Thom and I to participate in a role play to set up their presentation – it was great and a little uncomfortable because I’m not an actor and didn’t know the script, but we had a good time.  Their message was a great one for all families. We learned about Family Leadership Counsels, what they are, how to have them and how to over come some of the problems that may arise.
Their interview, where I asked them personal questions, was one of my favorites. They answered the questions beautifully, but I was so impressed with how they lead their family, their yearly traditions and I especially loved how they kept a record of their traditions. Check it out!
