Executive function coaching
What is executive function coaching and who is it for?
Executive functions (EFs) are the high-level cognitive functions that enable us to successfully undertake tasks such as planning and scheduling our time, focusing our attention, remembering instructions, regulating our emotions, and keeping going in the face of challenge. Moderated primarily by the prefrontal cortex in the frontal lobe of the brain, the core EFs relate to three types of brain function: working memory, self-control, and cognitive flexibility. Whilst we all have difficulties with executive functioning from time to time, neurodivergent brains can often experience particular EF challenges.
In EF-focused coaching, we help people to build skills and strategies to improve their executive functioning, which strengthens the foundations upon which they are then able to build the lives they want to lead. EF coaching can be integrated into a broader personal, career or leadership development coaching engagement.
