Coaching Process

International Coach Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients (students) in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”  Being the parent of a child that has trouble with executive functioning skills can be difficult. Students often feel that the parent is always “on their back” and can make for a stressful relationship.

Coaching allows me to work with students through a partnership.  We work together to identify goals and brainstorm strategies.  As a coach I will provide structure and support and even share strategies to empower students' success. Coaching is not about telling students what they have to do.  Coaching is not tutoring specific subjects.  Through coaching, I will partner with students to help them develop strategies and empower them to reach their desired goals.
