Executive Function Coaching for Adults, Teens, and Parents
Build skills to tackle your obstacles with more clarity, confidence and a greater sense of control.
When Things Feels Harder Than You Know They Need to Be
Without strong executive function skills, even the basics can feel overwhelming.
Staying organized and on top of tasks feels like a constant uphill battle.
Time slips away, deadlines are missed, and responsibilities pile up.
Even with the best intentions, follow-through is inconsistent and exhausting.
Meet Your Coach
I'm Marianne Bocock Doyle, an executive function coach with decades of experience as a teacher, coach, and parent.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck—whether it’s your own challenges to manage time and or a child's struggle to stay on top of school and routines.
I’ve helped students build skills to feel more capable and independent, adults manage complex responsibilities, and parents become more confident advocates and collaborators.
With customized strategies and a steady guide, you can move forward. Together, we’ll build the clarity, confidence, and systems that make life feel more manageable—for you or your family.
The Difference Coaching Makes
-
Clarity
Learn how to manage your time better, plan and prioritize, and stay organized with strategies that fit how you work best.
-
Confidence
Strengthen your ability to focus, follow through, and feel good about your progress—so you can trust yourself to handle what’s ahead.
-
Control
Experience real momentum, that builds one small step at a time—at school, at work, or at home—so you can feel accomplished instead of constantly catching up.

"Our daughter has been working with Marianne for close to a year and is about to ‘graduate’ with a strong foundation in executive functioning skills, having learned about her own strengths and weaknesses and how to use that information as a positive and effective tool in her learning. We’ve seen our daughter gain confidence and an ability to tackle her tasks with a sense of clarity that is a direct result of her work with Marianne."

"The strategies I gained from Marianne help me get more work done without feeling overloaded. Blocking, planning and pacing help me unhook from feelings of overwhelm by focusing on one aspect of a project at a time. I am also able to enjoy my free time because I can step away from a work session feeling satisfied with my progress."

“I have been preparing the EF presentation I will give to my Department, and have realized the many new things I now know about this subject that I didn't have any idea of before, thanks to your Teacher Professional Development Pilot course. You have helped me to become a better teacher for my students and I appreciate this greatly.”
