The Company of Dads

Are you a Lead Dad aka the go-to parent? I'm Paul Sullivan and I created The Company of Dads to bring together dads like me across the country. It’s a role I know well. While I was a New York Times columnist for the 13 years, I also had a second job that I loved but kept secret: I was the Lead Dad for our three daughters – but don’t call me Mr. Mom. Earlier this year, I launched The Company of Dads to bring together Lead Dads whether they worked full time, part time or devoted all of their times to their family. I also wanted to show working moms that there could be help and create awareness within companies to change their parenting policies. Join our community today to connect with other Dad's like us & learn more about how to make the most out of your role. https://lnkd.in/eUEmy5jj
