What are Executive Functions?
Executive functions are the mental skills that help us plan, organize, manage time, and follow through on tasks. These skills allow us to set goals, adapt to challenges, and regulate emotions. Strong executive function skills are essential for independence, academic success, and everyday life.
When executive functions are weak, everyday tasks – like starting assignments, managing deadlines, staying focused, or keeping organized – can feel overwhelming. The good news? These skills can be strengthened with the right strategies and support.
Who benefits from Executive Function Coaching?
I specialize in working with teens and college students who are bright and capable, but struggle with managing daily responsibilities. If your student has difficulty staying organized, meeting deadlines, keeping track of assignments, or following through on tasks, they may benefit from personalized coaching.
Many of my clients face challenges such as:
✔ Chronic disorganization and messy workspaces
✔ Difficulty starting or completing assignments on time
✔ Forgetting deadlines and responsibilities
✔ Trouble prioritizing tasks and avoiding distractions
✔ Feeling overwhelmed by school, work, or daily routines
✔ Difficulty managing frustration and stress
✔ Struggles with balancing short-term tasks and long-term goals
✔ Rigid thinking and difficulty adapting to new situations or feedback
✔ Setting goals but having trouble sticking with them
Beyond organization and time management, Executive Function Coaching teaches how to study effectively, approach assignments strategically, and improve test-taking skills. We help students develop personalized systems for learning, note-taking, and self-testing—boosting confidence and academic performance.
While many of our students have ADHD, anxiety, or autism, a diagnosis is not required. Our coaching is for anyone who wants practical strategies to build independence, confidence, and lifelong success.
