ADHD Executive Function Coaching helps people with self – regulation challenges with prioritizing and planning, initiating and maintaining focus, emotional regulation, strategic thinking, and response inhibition.
Executive Functions refer to a set of cognitive processes that help us to make decisions, and to set and reach goals. These skills include planning, organization, task initiation, focusing, self – awareness, emotional and behavioral self-regulation.
People with weak executive skills have trouble getting started on tasks that feel boring, lengthy, and overwhelming, and tend to procrastinate. After they have begun, are easily distracted. They may overreact to specific triggers, exhibiting FFF behaviors – fight, flight or freeze – without considering the consequences of their actions.

- Identify goals and possible distractions.
- Develop plans to reach goals while handling distractions
- Refocus on goals when getting off-track
