Help!! I Want To Pitch to the CEO.....Not the Receptionist: Sales Strategies for Successful Parenting!!

 

Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist who specializes in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. This podcast is where we turn therapeutic insight into parenting strategy—and help you build a home where peace isn’t just possible, it’s the default. Let’s dive in.

By Using Sales Psychology and Family Neuroscience to Time Your Parenting for Maximum Impact you will be able to Pitch to the CEO, Not the Receptionist: Here are some Sales Strategies for successful Emotional Parenting.

If your child isn’t listening, isn’t following through, or seems to “shut down” every time you try to correct them… you might be pitching to the wrong person.

In sales, if you pitch your product to the front desk receptionist, it doesn’t matter how perfect your offer is—the deal won’t close. You need to get to the decision-maker. The CEO. The one with authority, logic, and access to long-term planning.

In parenting, that CEO is your child’s prefrontal cortex the part of the brain responsible for decision-making, impulse control, working memory, and emotional regulation. But here’s the problem: when your child is upset, stressed, tired, or overstimulated? The CEO clocks out. And the amygdala—aka the brain’s emotional receptionist—takes over.

The more we learn to recognize the signs behind the behaviors, the more compassion and support we can offer—to our kids, our partners, and ourselves.
