Executive Functioning Coach
Improve your career and navigate challenges (and deadlines) more easily by streamlining your approach to productivity at the cognitive level.
An important part of success in the workplace is mastering executive function skills. Working memory, organization, flexible thinking, motivation, impulse control, emotional control, and self-monitoring are all essential executive function abilities.
High school, college students, or professionals who struggle with executive functions may have problems with:
Managing your schedule
Organizing tasks and ideas
Attending meetings on time
Preparing reports or presentations
Staying focused on important goals
Completing homework or projects
Being flexible and patient when unexpected issues arise
When a breakdown in executive functioning occurs, stress and drama can spill into nearly every aspect of your daily life.
Your executive functioning coach can target these components:
-
Planning & Prioritizing
The process of making decisions or taking steps needed to reach a goal.
-
Time Management
The skill that allows a person to exercise conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency, or productivity.
-
Organization
The deliberate, systematic arrangement of ideas. It is the ability to create order on work and play.
-
Working Memory
A cognitive ability that allows an individual to hold information in the mind while using it to complete a task.
-
Self-Monitoring & Metacognition
The ability to monitor one’s own learning and performance or keeping track of one’s abilities and comparing it to peers.
-
Response Inhibition & Impulse Control

-
Task Initiation
The ability to start a task because a person is organized and able to maintain focus on others during interactions.
-
Flexibility
The ability to adapt to new situations when necessary. Being flexible allows an individual to create a new approach when a particular plan becomes unsuccessful.

What is involved in an executive function coaching assessment?
Executive function issues may be diagnosed informally or through a more formal process, including standardized testing.
While a neuropsychological evaluation is a gold standard in evaluating executive functions, speech-language pathologists can also provide an evaluation of executive functions.
An evaluation will consist of clinical observation, clinical intake, and an executive function inventory and can also include executive function formal testing. Speech pathologists typically factor in input from the individual’s neuropsychologist, psychologist, social worker, or school counselor.
