What are Executive Functions?

Executive Functions  (EF) are the underlying cognitive processes that enable individuals to think about the tasks they need to do, and to do them. There are a multitude of recognized models, but we tend to prescribe to the idea that EF can be divided into two categories: Thinking Skills and Doing Skills, including: 

• Planning/Prioritizing, 

• Shifting Flexibly

• Metacognition

• Working Memory

• Sustaining Attention

• Regulating

• Organizing

• Initiating

• Following Through/Persisting

• Managing Time

Our specialized coaching models are individualized to each learner and their contextual needs.  Our goal is to help clients develop the metacognitive and metalinguistic skills necessary to internally reflect on their goals, generate action steps, and experience positive outcomes across settings.
