Executive Function Skills Coaching

Executive Function Skills

What are Executive Functions?

Executive Functions are the mental processes that allow you to mentally play with ideas; approach unanticipated challenges with flexibility; take the time to think before acting; resist temptations, and to stay focused. The foundational executive function skills are interrelated and include working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility. They depend on a neural circuit in which the prefrontal cortex at the front of the brain plays a prominent role.
