Want to share a product or service with over 6,000 parents and educators interested in executive functioning?
Have you wanted to use your expertise in education, mental health, or parenting to help kids with executive function challenges, but struggle to know where to start?
Do you find yourself searching aimlessly on YouTube, TikTok or Google, wondering what you should do first, and when the answer isn't easily accessible, you return to what feels normal and comfortable?
If so, I'm right there with you!
Back in 2020, I knew in my heart I had so much to give to students who need help with learning key executive function skills like:
Creating an action plan for the semester
Building relationships with more experienced professionals through informational interviews
Learning how to budget
Communicating assertively with teachers
And so much more.
Plus, I knew I could make it FUN!
What I didn't know how to do was connect with families and other professionals who wanted to know about what I could offer.
And I felt stuck.
After spending a lot of time, energy, and money, I learned how to communicate in a way that allowed me to be heard.
And it starts with a clear value proposition or basically sharing what it is that you can do for someone else.
If you want to learn the steps to clarifying your vision and offer to the world, check out the video below.
The cool thing about a value proposition, is that it can be used for ANYTHING.
It's like a North Start, guiding your actions and aligning you with your highest calling.
Hope this helps 🤙🏻
P.S. If you want to work on executive function skills with your students, consider joining hundreds of other educators and parents who have completed my Semester Success Blueprint Course. In less than 2 hours, this comprehensive course will teach you and your student the system I developed to help hundreds of students learn how to manage school effectively and raise their self-awareness and engagement with school.
About Me
Hey! I'm Sean 👋
I'm a former public school special education teacher who realized that executive function skills are more important than knowing when George Washington crossed the Potomac.
Since then, I've made it my mission to teach anyone who will listen about how to develop these key life skills.
In 2020, I founded Executive Function Specialists to ensure all students with ADHD and Autism have access to high-quality online executive function coaching services. We offer online EF coaching and courses to help students and families.
Realizing I could only reach so many people through coaching, in 2021 I started the Executive Function Coaching Academy which trains schools, educators, and individuals to learn the key strategies to improve executive function skills for students.
In 2023, I co-founded of UpSkill Specialists, to provide neurodivergent adults with high-quality executive function coaching services.
When not pursuing my passions through work, I love spending time with my family, getting exercise, and growing my brain through reading. You can connect with me on LinkedIn.
