What is Executive Functioning?
Executive functioning is a broad set of many skills that help us manage daily life, including planning, prioritizing, organizing, focusing, and managing time.
While people with an ADHD diagnosis are most often identified with executive functioning challenges, we believe that EVERYONE can benefit from strengthening these skills.
What is Executive Function Coaching?
Executive functioning coaching focuses on practical improvements in areas like time management, efficiency, focus, and memory. The coaching process emphasizes embracing strengths and building confidence in your abilities.
Our neurodivergent-affirming coaches provide guidance while holding you accountable to take action toward the goals YOU set for yourself.
Your goals might include:
Tracking assignments, deadlines, or meetings
Breaking large projects (like research papers or work projects) into smaller steps
Starting tasks on time and reducing procrastination
Limiting distractions and staying focused longer
Estimating how long tasks will take more accurately
Organizing desks, backpacks, or digital files
Coaching can be done in-person or online, which we’ve found particularly convenient for college students.
We also offer Executive Functioning Groups where members can share resources, learn new skills together, build community, and access coaching in a more affordable format.
Do I Need an ADHD Diagnosis to Start Coaching?
