Bring Parenting in the Debugger to Your Team

Talks, workshops, and keynotes that give the working parents on your team a way to handle the hardest job nobody trained them for.

Why Companies Book This

A lot of your senior engineers are also new parents, and that stress doesn't stay home — it shows up as distraction and a short fuse at work. The usual wellness webinar doesn't reach them. This does, because it speaks in the terms they already think in.

Three Ways to Bring It In

Same core idea — pause, inspect your internal state, respond on purpose — scaled to the format that fits your event.

The Talk

~60 minutes

One session that introduces the Breakpoint Protocol — the pause-inspect-respond tool at the center of the whole thing. Fits a lunch-and-learn, a parents ERG, or a wellness slot.

  • Lunch-and-learn, ERG, or wellness session
  • In person or remote over Zoom
  • Recording included for async viewing

The Workshop

Half day

A half-day where your team practices the protocol instead of just hearing about it. We run the Breakpoint Protocol (SET → INSPECT → STEP) against real situations they walked in with.

  • Interactive and exercise-driven
  • The Breakpoint Protocol, applied
  • Shared language that sticks

The Keynote

Keynote

A keynote built for your stage — an all-hands, an offsite, a conference. Same idea, scaled up and shaped around your event.

  • All-hands, offsite, or conference
  • Tailored to your audience and theme
  • Built to land with a technical crowd

What Your People Walk Away With

It Works on Your Team, Too

The same idea maps onto leadership. Your team picks up your patterns the way your kids do — from how you actually show up under stress, not the values on the wall.

Most groups book this for their working parents and find it changes how they manage, too.

About Justin

Justin Moore, speaker, software architect, and parent coach

Hi, I'm Justin — software architect, parent of three, and the person who built Parenting in the Debugger because the parenting advice out there never spoke my language.

I've spent 20+ years in tech building and explaining complex systems. I first gave this talk to a group of parents at the company I worked at, and it connected more than I expected — engineers don't want to be told to "be present," they want something they can use.

I keep it concrete and a little irreverent — no stock-photo slides, no "just be present." Just a way of thinking your people can try the same night they hear it.

Frequently Asked Questions

In person or remote?
Either. The talk and keynote work great over Zoom and in person. The workshop is best in person so people can do the exercises, but it can be adapted for remote teams.
Can we record it?
Yes. Recording the talk so employees can watch async is encouraged and included — a lot of the audience is parents who can't always make a live slot.
How big can the audience be?
Talks and keynotes scale to any size. Workshops are best capped around 30 so everyone can participate and actually practice the protocol.
Do attendees need to be engineers?
No. The framework leads with an engineering metaphor because it lands fast with technical teams, but the parenting work underneath is universal. Mixed and non-technical audiences are welcome.
How much lead time do you need?
A few weeks is ideal so I can tailor the content to your audience, your event, and any themes you're building around.
What does it cost?
Every engagement is scoped and quoted individually based on format, audience size, and travel. Reach out and we'll figure out the right fit.
