Recognizing the unique challenges of higher education, Faith is now extending her expertise to include college students, emphasizing the development of executive functioning skills crucial for success in the demanding college environment.
What is Executive Function Coaching?
Preparing for college can be an exciting—yet overwhelming—journey for both students and parents. As a parent of three, Faith understands the unique challenges associated with this transition. Working with college students at every stage of their journey, Faith provides the guidance and support needed to ensure a successful college experience. Faith specializes in empowering students to overcome these obstacles and thrive in college by cultivating essential skills and strategies.
Independence & Self Care
Amidst the myriad of club offerings, social opportunities, and demands of coursework, new college students often overlook the importance of tending to their own fundamental needs. College marks a significant transition, as it may be the first time students are without a parent or guardian reminding them to keep their living space tidy, prioritize adequate sleep, and make time for physical activity.
Because Faith understands the critical role that holistic well-being plays in a student’s college journey, she prioritizes the overall development and wellness of each student. Through her personalized approach, Faith supports students in maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle by helping them to:
- Maintain a clean and productive environment (via Zoom)
- Nurture physical activity and social connections
- Establish effective time-management routines
- Manage stress and anxiety
Parental Engagement
Because parents play such a vital role in supporting their child’s college-readiness journey, the lines of communication are always open. Faith provides regular updates, ensuring parents are involved and informed every step of the way.
Through Executive Function Coaching, your child will gain the confidence, skills, and knowledge they need to navigate the transition to college with confidence. Together, we can help them unlock their full potential and set them on the path to a bright and successful future.
College Essay Coaching
The college application process can be daunting. The personal statement is a particularly challenging task. Faith’s team – which includes Admissions professionals – focuses on helping students craft compelling personal essays that showcase their unique strengths and life experiences.
