Executive Function & ADHD Coaching · San Diego & Online
The Beta Sprint is open to the first 5 clients: four sessions on one real friction point. Book a fit call to see if coaching is the right support for your next 30 days.
We don’t work on the assignment. We work on how you get to the assignment: planning, starting, tracking, following through, and what to do when you’re stuck.
Looking for someone to teach the algebra or edit the essay? That’s a subject tutor, not this. Say so on the discovery call and you’ll get a straight answer instead of a package.
If you've read the books, tried the planners, and screamed into your pillow, you're past lectures. Get a system that will actually work 6 AM on a Tuesday.
Coaching is about looking past the windshield at what's coming: the next big project, event, or deadline.
"ADHD is a disorder of doing what you know." - Russell A. Barkley, PhD
We design a small, specific scaffold, run it through real life, and revise. Forget pretending to be some superhero.
"Implementing what you already know, consistently, over time." - J. Russell Ramsay, PhD
Most stuck-ness is invisible until we label and structure it. Then it becomes a problem with a solution.
"Picture yourself doing a task and work backward to now." - Sarah Ward, MS, CCC-SLP
Most people who land here have already tried the productivity advice, the planners, and the apps. What works is structured 1:1 support that fits how your brain actually functions - intake, environmental redesign, and point-of-performance scaffolding unique to you.
Sessions are weekly, one hour, remote. In-person is available in North County San Diego only. Rates are discussed on the discovery call; existing clients keep their current rate.
No commitment. The discovery call (linked at the top and bottom of this page) is how we figure out whether coaching is the next move — including when it isn’t.
I built ExEF because the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it is the part most productivity advice ignores. I'm completing ADDCA ADHD coach training (ICF & PAAC accredited program), I hold ICF Level 1, and I teach high school special education by day. I'm taking on the first 5 beta clients now while I reach the gold standard.
The promise is small and concrete: in 4 sessions we map one friction point, build one system, run it through your real week, and revise it until it holds. That's it. No woo-woo self-help lingo, no grind-set lecture, no pretending coaching is therapy.
Coaching at ExEF is a working session where we crack open the crab leg that is your life. Bring a real situation; we leave with something you can actually try this week.
What happened since we last talked? Where did the system hold, where did it slip? We either win or we learn.
Pick one specific friction point. Map it out loud. Build or revise one small scaffold targeting the actual moment of failure.
Decide one tiny experiment for the week. Write it down where you'll actually see it. Done.
ExEF is a solo coaching practice led by Jacob. The educator and OT below are independent referral partners, not ExEF staff — so when something falls outside coaching scope you have a vetted name to call.

Beta Sprint spots are now open for the first 5 clients. Start with a fit call, then we map one friction point and build one system that works in real life. Rates are discussed on the discovery call.
Independent referral · Special educator
Independent special educator ExEF refers to for school systems, IEP/504 translation, transitions, and home-school routines. Engaged directly under her own practice.
Independent referral · PhD, Occupational therapist
Licensed OT ExEF refers to when sensory regulation, motor planning, or the body-environment relationship are driving the EF problem. Engaged directly under his own license.
Use these to see your pattern. When you're ready to act on it, the coaching fit call is one click away.
Most coaching that gets bought here is a 12-16 week engagement. The work runs in three predictable phases.
We map your executive functioning pain points, audit your environment, and name the friction outright. You leave the first sessions with language and a roadmap to the future.
We build small, specific scaffolds at the point of contact - the desk, the calendar, your bed, the inbox. Designed for how you actually operate, not how you wish you were.
Most systems collapse by week two. We run weekly sessions, debug what didn't work, and tune the design until it survives under the pressure of a work deadline or extended family visit.
Free. No commitment. We talk through what's actually getting in the way and whether coaching is the right next move - or whether one of the free tools above is enough for now.
