The Doctor's Corner with Dr. John Oda

The Doctor's Corner with Dr. John Oda

For over 38 years, I’ve walked alongside parents and teens, coaching, rewiring, and transforming lives with one mission: to help families go further, faster. I’m Dr. John Oda, Amazon International Best-Selling Author, Master Trainer in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and a specialist in behavioral transformation. With a 90% success rate, I’ve helped thousands of families break through the emotional and mental barriers that keep them stuck in cycles of frustration, rebellion, and disconnection. In 2006, I released my book Connecting with Your Teen—a guide that sparked healing and reconnection in homes across the world. And now, almost two decades later, I’m seeing the same problems showing up in different packaging. So I’m back—this time through this podcast—to deliver insights, strategies, and breakthroughs straight to your ears. This show is designed for parents of pre-teens and teenagers who are struggling with behavioral issues, emotional distance, or simply feel like they’ve lost their connection. I’ll be unpacking proven principles from my book, sharing real-world stories, and equipping you with tools to help your teen thrive—and your family bond deepen. Because when you reconnect with your teen... You unlock their potential and restore peace in your home. Let’s begin this journey together.

In this podcast, I share powerful examples from my own childhood—moments where family routines shaped me in ways that still drive my destiny today. Structure, consistency, and discipline didn’t just keep me on track; they gave me the foundation to grow into who I am now.

Because here’s the truth: when parents don’t establish routines or rules, teens are left with no sense of direction. That’s when confusion, poor choices, and unnece...

Parents, listen closely.

Maybe your teen athlete has the talent—but not the focus, confidence, or discipline to rise higher.
Or maybe you’re watching your teen spiral with defiance, poor decisions, and conflict at home.
When your teen struggles, the entire family feels it. That’s why I created my 6-Month Teen Transformation Program.

Here’s how transformation happens, using the NLP Logical Levels:

1. Environment – Does their environmen...

In this episode of 'Connecting with Your Teen,' I share the story of Robert—once known as the worst teen in the Pacific Northwest. His father told him to hate women, and his life seemed destined for destruction. But everything changed when I helped him rewrite his story and create a brand-new blueprint. Today, Robert is successful, thriving, and living a completely transformed life.

Bullying in 2025 doesn’t just happen in the hallways—it follows our kids into their bedrooms, their phones, and their minds.

If you have negative parents, you will have negative kids—because children don’t just hear what you say, they model what you do. Your energy becomes their blueprint.

I have two powerful examples:

👉 Mike and his wife—constantly negative, always complaining. Their teens reflected the same energy, walking through life with the same attitude.

👉 Ralph and his wife—radiating kindness, positivity, and strength. Their teens grew up mirror...

The Doctor’s Corner: Getting Teens To Talk. Every parent wants their teen to open up—
But most are asking the wrong questions.

In this episode of The Doctor’s Corner Podcast, I share how to use the NLP model to build real rapport with your children. It’s not about interrogation—it’s about connection.

Instead of asking “How was school?” (and getting one-word answers)…
Try asking:

✨ “Which teacher don’t you...
