What is Executive Function Coaching?

Turning chaos into clarity—one brain cell at a time 💡

Ever tried to start a task, but ended up alphabetizing your spice rack instead?

Or opened your laptop to write an email and somehow found yourself deep into a rabbit hole about medieval sword fighting? (Just me?)

That’s executive functioning at work—or, well, not working so well.

So…What Is Executive Functioning? 🧠

Think of executive functioning as your brain’s personal assistant.
It’s the set of skills that helps you:

  • Plan things out

  • Stay organized

  • Start tasks-and actually finish them

  • Manage your time

  • Adapt when plans change

  • Control impulses (like texting your ex… please don’t)

  • Keep track of what you’re doing and why

Some people are born with a GPS and a to-do list built right into their brain. Others… we’re still looking for our keys, our phone, and maybe also our sense of time.

Trying to function without solid executive skills can feel like juggling spaghetti. 🍝 Slippery. Chaotic. Not very productive.

But here's the thing. These are skills. And skills can be learned. 🙌

When Executive Functioning Gets Tricky 😵

If you or your child are struggling with executive functioning, it might look like:

  • Constantly losing track of time (and socks, and homework…)

  • Struggling to start or finish tasks

  • Procrastinating like it’s an Olympic sport

  • Getting easily overwhelmed

  • Forgetting what you were saying mid-sentence (it happens)

  • Having a million ideas but no clue where to start

Sound familiar? It’s not laziness. It’s executive functioning.

💬 “Is This For Me?”

Totally valid question. Coaching is especially helpful for:

  • Kids and teens with ADHD or learning differences

  • Autistic individuals

  • College students navigating independence

  • Parents supporting neurodivergent kids

  • Adults who feel like their brain runs Windows '98 in a Mac world

If executive function challenges affect your confidence, stress levels, or everyday life, this is for you.

What Can Coaching Do For Me? 🛠️

Executive function coaching is like having a personal trainer for your brain. No judgement. No one-size-fits-all solutions. Just tools and strategies that work for you.

Together, we’ll:

  • Set goals that make sense for your life

  • Break tasks into manageable steps

  • Build routines and systems that stick

  • Troubleshoot what’s not working

  • Celebrate every win (yes, even “I remembered to drink water today!”)

Coaching is collaborative, affirming, and totally customized. It’s not about perfection-it’s about progress.

Let’s take the pressure off. Executive functioning can feel hard. But you don’t have to figure it out alone.
