Most co-parenting challenges are not emotional—they’re operational.

In Traction, Gino Wickman outlines what makes companies thrive: vision, people, data, issues, process, and traction. Reading it through the lens of BeH2O™, it’s clear—this applies just as much to co-parenting as it does to business.

1. Vision: Start With the End in Mind

Co-parents rarely ask: Where are we going, and how will we get there together?
But in BeH2O™, we do.

We build a shared vision rooted in purpose—one that gets clearer.

Without a shared vision, every small decision turns into a power struggle.

2. People: Right Roles, Right Fit

It’s not about who’s the “better” parent—it’s about each parent operating in their zone of strength.
As Wickman puts it: Does the person GWC the role? Do they Get it, Want it, and have the Capacity for it?

BeH2O™ encourages co-parents to:

• Assign clear responsibilities

• Avoid duplication or unspoken expectations

• Celebrate differences in style as long as they serve the shared vision

3. Data: Measure What Matters

Co-parenting needs metrics—not to micromanage, but to stay grounded.

• Are transitions smoother this month than last?

• Are missed pickups decreasing?

• Are kids showing more stability between homes?

Numbers clarify where emotion clouds judgment.

4. Issues: Don’t Avoid, Solve

Every family has issues. Healthy ones face them early and often.
EOS teaches that issues fall into three categories:

• Real problems

• Info that needs alignment

• Ideas needing discussion

Using BeH2O™, we teach parents to:

• Name the real issue (not the emotional trigger)

• Discuss it directly, not through the kids

• End with a decision, not a spiral

Clarity kills chaos.

5. Process: Build Your Operating System

Families often fall into routines. But routines ≠ systems.

Systems are intentional. Documented. Agreed upon.
In BeH2O™, parents create shared approaches to:

• Communication

• Exchanges

• Decision-making

• Conflict resolution

This is your parenting playbook—your family’s operating system.

6. Traction: Move Forward in 90-Day Sprints

The magic of EOS is its rhythm:

• Set 90-day “rocks”

• Meet weekly or monthly

• Solve problems

• Re-align

BeH2O™ co-parents create the same pulse. It helps both parents course-correct without chaos.

The best parenting partnerships don’t aim for perfection—they build in space to reflect, realign, and try again.

Bottom Line

You wouldn’t run a mission-critical company without clarity, roles, systems, and a shared vision.
So why co-parent without one?

BeH2O™ and EOS both show us: When two people pull in the same direction, progress compounds.

Reflection Questions for the Week:

• Do we have a shared co-parenting vision—or just a set of logistics?

• Are our “issues” recurring because we haven’t built systems to solve them?

• What would happen if we paused, aligned, and committed to 90 days of traction?

Looking Ahead:

Next week: Self-Accountability & Leadership by Michael Timms. Because no system works without the mindset to lead yourself first.
