Executive Function Coaching

What Are Executive Function Skills?

Think of executive function skills as the brain’s command center—they help you prioritize, plan, organize, manage time, and regulate emotions. These skills allow teens or young adults to stay focused, adapt to challenges, and navigate uncertainties while working toward their goals. Strong EF skills are the foundation for academic achievement, college readiness, and lifelong independence.

Key Executive Function Skills We Develop Together

• Time management – Learning to prioritize tasks and complete them on time (e.g., creating a weekly study plan for tests and projects).
• Organization – Structuring materials, assignments, and thoughts effectively (e.g., using calendars, planners, and structured systems to stay on top of work).
• Task initiation – Overcoming procrastination (e.g., starting homework on time with easy-to-implement "tiny habits" strategies).
• Self-monitoring – Evaluating progress and adjusting strategies as needed (e.g., reviewing test preparation methods to improve results).
• Emotional regulation – Managing stress and frustration effectively (e.g., staying calm and focused during group projects or exams).
• Working memory – Strengthening the ability to retain and apply information while completing tasks (e.g., following multi-step instructions with ease).
