Knowing what you need to do and actually doing it are two totally different skills
Executive Function Coaching for University and College Students
You feel like everyone else but you was born magically knowing how to manage deadlines, planning, and generally just staying on top of things. They say “it isn’t that hard”, but for you, it is. You’re made to feel ashamed, and keep pushing yourself to “try harder” but nothing seems to work.
The thing is, you’re already trying hard. The issue isn’t your effort, it’s about filling in the gaps and strengthening your skills with concrete, practical tools for all the in-betweens of student life.
What is Executive Functioning Coaching?
Executive functions are the mental skills that let you plan, start, organize, remember and follow through. It’s basically the behind the scenes management system of your brain. When that system doesn’t have enough support, even the best student can find themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed and always behind (no matter how hard they try).
Executive function coaching works directly with helping you strengthen and support those skills so they can stop getting in your way.
What we Focus on in Executive Function Coaching
This isn’t some generic program. We’ll figure out exactly which skills need support, and where your systems are breaking down so we can build something that makes sense t
Task Initiation & Momentum: Just starting is more often than not the hardest part of a task. We’ll find your “on-ramp” so you can stop avoiding the boring stuff you need to get done.
Planning & Prioritization Systems: No, it’s not another planner or app you’ll feel guilty for forgetting about after two weeks. It’s something sustainable built for you so it actually sticks.
Working Memory Supports: You know when the professor starts telling everyone instructions, and you’ve forgotten step 1 before they’ve even finished? We’ll find ways to externalize your brain so it doesn’t have to try (and fail) to hold it all.
Getting Ahead of Overwhelm: When stress hits and things get overwhelming, executive function is often the first thing your brain starts to cut back on. Getting ahead of crisis mode is the key! You’ll walk away with strategies to prevent yourself from falling into overwhelm, and how to get back on track when it happens.
