Justin Coulson Pt 2 Ep. 379 The Cultural Hall

Dr. Justin Coulson writes and speaks about parenting and family – because nothing matters more.

Struggling with his own family relationships, Justin returned to full-time study in his late 20’s where he earned first class honors and a subsequent PhD in Psychology so that he could learn how to be a better husband and father. Now the focus of his life is his family AND helping other families flourish – in that order.

Justin has written 6 books and is a four-time bestselling author. He is an occasional columnist for the New York Times and appears regularly in all of Australia’s major news outlets for television, radio, and print. He’s a TEDx speaker and has worked with many of Australia’s biggest brands including the Commonwealth Bank, Intel Security, ANZ, IHG, Club Med and many, many more. He has also served as a consultant to the Australian Government’s Raising Children Network, and the Office of the e-Safety Commissioner, Life Education and others.

Justin lives with his wife and six daughters in Brisbane, Queensland.
