There’s more that goes into getting things done than meets the eye. There’s planning, execution, follow up, prioritization, and interruptions at every turn. Don’t fret! Support is at your fingertips.
Executive function is a term that encapsulates a mental skill set responsible for allowing folks to complete tasks from start to finish. This includes planning the steps needed to complete a task, stay focused on completing it, and being flexible to adjust the original plan as needed when the unexpected inevitably comes up. When these skills are working together well, it is easier to complete day-to-day and long-term tasks or projects.
These skills include:
Whitney Natiello, Lic Ac, BHCP, CBHT explains the brain science behind executive functions in our LifeLog. It’s a must read to understand the biology behind under & overactive executive centers in the brain along with development of these skills as we age.
Coaches continuously partner with young adults as they develop and refine executive function from day one of the coaching relationship. Examples include:
Our model includes a questionnaire that reveals which of these areas are particularly difficult and provides specific strategies to help develop a skill set that will support growth in any of these arenas. Young adults are then held accountable around implementing these strategies throughout the coaching process; integrating them into their day-to-day life in the process.

Supporting Young Adults Transitioning to Independence Through Clinically-Informed Coaching
We believe that whole-life wellness is not only possible, it is probable with the right tools, guides, and resources.
Mutual respect and personal integrity are imperative when establishing meaningful relationships with each of our young adults and their families. Our unwavering commitment to these fundamental principles are essential as we cultivate environments where individual needs and preferences are prioritized. By implementing holistic strategies that address physical, emotional, & social needs, sustainable and impactful success is achieved.
Lasting change begins with trust; both trust in yourself and trust in those around you. At LifeTutors, we foster trust by continuously supporting the goals of our participants and by instilling confidence. When individuals learn to trust themselves, they become more adept at navigating challenges and uncertainties, allowing them to take calculated risks and pursue opportunities that align with their values and aspirations.
We believe that young adults are best resourced through wide-ranging professional and natural support systems. Our coach teams work in collaboration with families as well as a myriad of ancillary providers to create the conditions that nurture each individual while streamlining communication for all.
We empower young adults to own their choices through personal agency. We believe positive change happens when we acknowledge how and why our decisions affect ourselves and those around us. Coaches act as both a mirror and guide as young adults recognize and even experience the natural (and predictive) consequences of their actions.
We act in full transparency, with honesty at the forefront of every interaction. We are committed to being dependable, ethical, and responsible throughout every step of our journey together.
