From Chaos to Collaboration
Success, either professional or personal, is not a solo sport. It depends in great part on effective collaboration with others. Whether they be your colleagues, clients, or family. How effectively are you collaborating with those crucial to your success and happiness?
I’m Teresa Harlow, founder of Promethean Problem Solvers. As a business leader, divorced parent, and performing artist, I figured out how to transform chaos and conflict into collaboration, innovation, and extraordinary results.
In the business realm, I share these learnings through my Immersive Rock ‘n’ Roll Keynote Experience and ROCKshops. For those rocked by family turmoil, I offer private coaching and my bestselling book, Combative to Collaborative: The Co-parenting Code.
As we head into 2024, there will be great forces all around us working to divide us. But we also have a powerful opportunity to embrace diverse thinking to fuel next-level innovation and problem-solving. Follow me as we take this journey together!

Co-parent Coaching Services
Want a Co-parenting Coach’s Help?
After you divorce or separate from your child’s other parent, your parenting journey continues. Some find it easy. Some find it hard. And some find it impossible. Regardless of whether you like it or not, you will be co-parenting with this person for the rest of your life. Would you like to make that journey easier? Would you like to be a better parent to your children following divorce?
I’ve been a co-parent for over 20 years and a stepparent for more than 15 years. It wasn’t always easy. It took intention and a maniacal focus on what is important. For me, that was to be a good parent. No one else could do that for me. But I did not believe this had to come at the sacrifice of my personal happiness. So I set out to solve that problem. As a result, I came up with the 3 Cs of Collaborative Co-parenting—Civility, Communication, and Caring. These 3 Cs make up the foundation of my co-parent coaching approach.

Combative to Collaborative:
The Co-parenting Code
Bestselling Co-parenting Book
“This book is a true breakthrough for co-parents struggling to positively interact or who want to get it right from the beginning. I highly recommend it!” — Jack Canfield, Coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul
“Couples who have experienced the trauma of divorce and are trying to co-parent their children in the best possible way, will find this book extremely helpful.” — Gary Chapman, Ph.D. Author of The 5 Love Languages
Co-parenting doesn’t have to be hard, or mean sacrificing either your family or your own happiness. It’s simply a matter of focus and choices.
Combative to Collaborative: The Co-parenting Code channels parents’ interactions with each other to what they really want…to be good parents together. But while most co-parenting books tell parents to just put the kids first even if that means sacrificing their own happiness, Combative to Collaborative shows parents how supporting each other as good parenting partners ensures they do what’s best for their kids while also achieving personal happiness. Move from anger, hurt, and loss to consideration, kindness, and cooperation.
You will discover:
- How to diffuse a co-parent’s snarky behavior and avoid triggering their hostility
- How to recognize your own combative behaviors and stop exhibiting them
- How to plan for co-parenting collaboration and success
- How to correct course when a relationship goes astray – even after many years of conflict!
