Executive Function Coaching for Individuals
An Edge Coach specializes in providing individuals with the skills they need to overcome learning and attention challenges that can cause problems with school, family life, work and friendships.
What it is
The Edge Coach works as a partner with people to develop a plan to achieve goals they have identified. The coaching relationship empowers them by providing structure, support, and accountability. They own the goals and plans because these come from them, not from the coach.
How it Helps
The focused and personalized one-on-one approach used in Edge Coaching helps individuals with:
- Goal setting
- Planning and organizing
- Prioritizing and time management
- Focusing and perseverance, even in the face of adversity
- Impulse control
- Motivation and procrastination
- Follow-through and task completion
Who Can Benefit
Edge executive function coaching – done in-person – can help young people in elementary school, middle school, high school, vocational / technical school, community college and university. It is also effective for adults entering the workplace, as well as older adults who may have struggled with learning and attention challenges such as ADHD because they were never diagnosed in childhood.
How to Get an Edge Coach
Our coach selection process has been designed to make sure each individual is paired with a coach that he or she is excited about and comfortable with. Here’s how it works.
STEP 1
Contact Us
To get an Edge Coach, all you do is contact us. If you are the Financial Guarantor, or the prospective client, call Denise von Pressentin, our Individual Coaching Manager and Coach Matchmaker at 206.632.9497, or email her at dvonpressentin@edgefoundation.org; or make an appointment through her scheduler link. https://calendly.com/edgefoundation/60min
STEP 2
Our Coach Matchmaker Goes to Work
Our coach matchmaker, based on our conversations with the Financial Guarantor and then with the prospective client, will send out her notes to coaches she thinks will be a good match for the client, based on the client’s preferences. f. When she gets three matches they will be sent to the prospective client to interview each coach. The prospective client is in the “driver seat”, he/she must choose the coach that they like, that they feel comfortable with.
STEP 3
Select a Coach
Once you have decided on your coach match, the Financial Guarantor, and the prospective client will sign a month-to-month coaching agreement. Coaching will begin after the Intake Foundation Session with the chosen coach has taken place. The Financial Guarantor will be invoiced monthly by Edge, and payments will be made by credit card.
Made for the Times
Children with challenges such as ADHD are more impacted by the pandemic and distance learning than their peers. Learning loss, the lack of ability to self-manage with online learning, and falling behind are all possible. We have a proven virtual coaching method that can help your students succeed, even during a pandemic.
