Goals & Accountability Program

Weekly Coaching Plan & Frequent Digital Support

Some clients benefit from more frequent contact with a coach in order to help them identify and stay accountable for their goals.

For our Goals & Accountability Program, we craft an individualized weekly plan that includes 1 or more goal-setting and work sessions, and several shorter check-in sessions.

The coach also provides more frequent text and email communication to help the client problem-solve and maintain momentum in real time.

How does Executive Function Coaching work?

Our clients often come to us in a disorganized and demoralized state, having gotten plenty of negative feedback about chronic challenges.

An authentic relationship with an experienced and encouraging coach can make all the difference when it comes to developing more effective skills, habits, and systems.

Our coaching method follows a cycle of Modeling, Rehearsal, and Accountability.

  • Modeling is when someone you trust shows you how it’s done.

    This could include using a planner effectively, handling stress while writing a paper, organizing a workflow, or identifying short and long-term goals.

    Whatever the skill, trust is the key ingredient for impactful demonstration and learning.

  • Then comes Rehearsal, which is just what it sounds like: practicing skills and strategies, over and over.

    Clients learn to make and recover from mistakes and to adapt these skills and strategies to their actual lives so that they can begin to experience competence and agency.

    Rehearsal is all about practicing and problem-solving together so that eventually a client can practice and problem-solve independently.

  • Meaningful accountability is all about honest and encouraging feedback that reminds a client of their goals and development.

    Unfortunately, clients often come to us demoralized and well-trained in focusing on negative feedback.

    So our coaches are skilled at retraining clients to use feedback and setbacks as key opportunities to problem solve and practice important skills with an emphasis on progress and process rather than perfection.
