My coaching model is called מוח אית״ן – which means coaching executive functions for a strong brain.
I present this model in my Hebrew coaching manual called מאמן התפקודים- executive functioning coach.
Executive functions are the higher cognitive processes which guide all our behavior, from defining our goals, creating a map to teach these goals, managing distractions to enable follow through, managing emotions to maintain motivation, and self-reflection.
In this model I look at 8 executive functions as a basis for effective self-regulation:
“Cold” functions relating to organizing and task management:
Planning
Self-initiating
Focusing
Utilizing working memory
“Hot” functions related to self-awareness and inhibiting impulses:
Emotional regulation
Response inhibition
Cognitive Flexibility
Metacognition
This model enables the creation of an Executive Function Profile and the definition of the coaching agenda. The coach assists the client in developing his own “inner coach” by teaching him psycho educational strategies to improve each area.
I have been teaching this model in Bar Ilan University for 15 years,
and have trained over 500 coaches.
I coach adults with ADHD, and parents with ADHD in the family, using multiple modalities via zoom or in my clinic in Ra’anana.
