Executive Function Coaching for Individuals
An Edge Coach specializes in helping individuals develop and implement the executive function skills to succeed in school, home, work and friendships.
How Edge Coaching Works
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. The clients own the goals and plans because these come from them, not from the coach.

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
How We Match You With a Coach
Our Coach Matchmaker, based on our conversations with you, identifies three coaches aligned with your preferences. You interview each prospective coach. After all interviews are completed, you talk with the Coach Matchmaker about your experience and decides whether you have found a good match. There are no fees for the coach match process.
Who Are Our Edge Coaches?
Our Edge coaches are International Coaching Federation (ICF) certified and are specifically trained in working with neurodiverse individuals. In addition, they must have at least 2 years prior experience coaching and have coached at least 10 ADHD clients before coming to Edge.

Our Coach Matchmaker Goes to Work
Denise, our coach matchmaker, talks with the Financial Guarantor and then with the prospective client. She sends her notes to coaches she thinks will be a good match for the client, based on the client’s preferences. Three coach matches are sent to the prospective client who interview each coach. The prospective client is in the “driver seat.” They chooses the coach they like and feel comfortable with.
STEP 3
Select a Coach
Once the client has chosen their coach, the Financial Guarantor, and the prospective client will sign a month-to-month coaching agreement. Weekly coaching begin after the Foundation Session with the chosen coach takes place. The Financial Guarantor is invoiced monthly by Edge, and payments are made by credit card.
