Words cannot express how much you have done for my son and our family. We are so grateful to have found you and to be the beneficiary of your expertise.

— parents of 6th grader

Thanks for making this such a smooth process to get started. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten through all the steps of researching and getting up the courage to contact a therapist only to never hear back from them. You obviously already have things set up to make it easy for ADHD brains like mine!

Our son is energized and excited about being more organized. Last night, he told me, “I want to get ready for tomorrow” and pulled out his assignment notebook. 🙂  We just have to say THANK YOU! 

— parents of 10th grader

I just watched my son offer instruction to his younger brother on how to study for a test. “Read the chapter. Pay attention to the main words. Don’t forget the small questions on the side of the page. I’ll quiz you later to review together.” This was after he’d started his own science homework on the bus… for an assignment that isn’t due until Friday!!

— mom of 8th grader

Like many who have EF challenges, I felt pretty low about myself and my near constant state of overwhelm. I went to NSEF for some tips, but have discovered a whole new lens to view myself through the coaching process. Thank you! 

— adult client

Maggie is amazing! She is innovative, patient, and a wonderful resource. It’s like having a “human book” come to my house once a week to help me learn strategies and parenting tips. Nothing is rote or from a manual. Maggie IS the manual which is why she’s the “whisperer.”

— mom of 7th and 11th graders

After years of struggling with time management (and frustrating myself and my husband), I finally decided to seek out executive functioning help. I’m so happy I did. Each session has been packed with lessons and approaches that have made me more self aware. I’ve learned specific and very helpful tools on how to manage my workload and time. 

— adult client

Maggie is an expert in her field with a rich understanding of behavior. She is perceptive, calming and encouraging. She has a gift where she can speak with anyone: from elementary students to adults.

— mom of 4th and 6th graders

I would highly recommend Maggie. She’s a lifesaver if you feel you are getting overwhelmed and need support. Maggie has helped us, with NO judgment, while alleviating so much stress from my everyday life. 

— mom of 7th and 9th graders

NSEF has been working with our son for the last five or six weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the energy and positive attitude our son’s coach brings to each session. He has a great way of connecting in a supportive way, while still holding our son accountable to his end of the bargain.

— dad of 10th grader

I couldn’t be happier with where I am right now.  While our time has come to an end, I know I will keep utilizing the tools my coach gave me. These strategies, and my coach’s confidence in my ability, have set me up for success. Thank you for making such a difference in my life!

— adult client

I found NSEF through a parent group recommendation. I called because our daughter has always been strong academically, but my husband and I were increasingly concerned that she’d never learned to effectively manage her time. After just one summer of EF coaching, our daughter now feels like she has a good handle on things. 

— mom of 12th grader

My son turned to us after dinner tonight to say, ‘”I´d like to get started on my science because I don’t want it to build up. In fact, it kinda already has.” Clearly, something has sunk in from today’s coaching session, and he’s trying to put the skills you’re offering him to use!

— mom of 9th grader

I was a 45 year old who couldn’t regulate myself, complete projects, take care of my home, or be an efficient wife and mother. The older I got, the harder it was for me to do basic tasks. I allowed myself not to do things that would take too long or involve multiple steps. What I believed was self compassion, caused terrible habits. My coach helped me decipher which tasks needed immediate help, which tasks could be put off, and which I could delegate. I now feel like I am a more efficient wife and mother – which was my goal!

— adult client

Our daughter has been doing GREAT, very focused on completing her work and even finishing some things early! She just completed her Othello essay using the plan you came up with together. I haven’t seen her like this for a few years!

— mom of 12th grader

Our daughter has been doing so well in the short time you’ve been working together that she’s even been stating the advantages of executive functioning coaching to her sister – which got me thinking that our other daughter could also use your company’s help. Our eldest has got some things going on, the latest of which may be missing the Fall class registration window, despite me asking her at least 4 times to check on the dates (aahhhh!) You’ve been such a help with [our younger daughter]. Do you have space to help our older daughter, too?

— mom of 12th grader and 3rd year university student

After only 10 sessions, I feel like my life has been transformed. I no longer procrastinate on starting tasks. I now complete the tasks I start. If I need a break to re-energize, I take it, and then get back to work.  

— adult client

I was thrilled with the EF coaching offered by your company and I’d love to be a reference anytime! You guys are the real deal! 

— mom of 10th grader

Our daughter is off to a great start in school. You have given her wonderful tools and ideas to work with, and she has been sharing them with us so that we can support her better. 

— mom of 12th grader

I started off with a ton of self-doubt. I am a perfectionist and struggle with finding the perfect ways to say and do things. EF coaching got me to overcome my need to be perfect and got me to take action.

— emerging adult client

Our daughter really likes working with her coach. My husband and I are so impressed by how she’s keeping our daughter accountable while also encouraging her and giving her the tools to help her succeed.

— parents of 9th grader

The coaching process has been amazing, and our son feels like his increased success has everything to do with his EF coach. Our son’s coach has surpassed expectations – anticipating when he might need a little extra contact and making himself available to book extra sessions, as needed. He has attended not only to his academic needs, but also made sure our son was doing what he needed to health-wise and socially.   

— parents of 1st year university student

Coaching helped me push past my fears to change my mindset. I was able to go from feeling like I was going to throw up to walking into interviews smiling. I no longer felt ill-prepared or overwhelmed by the weight of it all. I started getting call-backs which gave me more confidence in the work we were doing. After a couple months of working with my coach, I was able to land my dream job as a project manager making $20k more than in my previous role. It was such an achievement for me, and I am so thankful that I invested in myself by working with NSEF. 

— adult client

My husband and I feel you are a true partner with us in supporting our daughter… Thank you! Wish we had known you for our older two kids! 🙂

— parents of 9th grader

I asked my son yesterday if he thinks EF coaching has been helpful. “Yes!”, and he clearly named two things : 1) the activity organizer, which he said has “definitely helped with time management” and 2) the quality time his coach spends with him. He appreciates her “not just diving into it,” but taking time together talking each session and really checking in on how he’s doing.

— mom of 8th grader

It took such a big stress off me to know NSEF was there for our family. I was confident that my son’s coach was giving him the support and tools he needed so I could disengage (with our coach’s guidance) and let my son take responsibility. 

– mom of 12th grader

The coach email summaries after each session were incredibly helpful and kept us informed so we could just stay in the background.

– parents of 11th grader

What a relief it was to no longer be my son’s “homework police,” and instead return to being a mom knowing that he had the right support in place to do what he needed to do.

– mom of 10th grader

My son adores his coach. He’s gained so many tips and strategies. Thank you!

— Mom of 4th grader

NSEF was recommended to me by my therapist, who diagnosed me with ADHD. Whenever I had to use my executive function skills, I became overwhelmed and shut down. This prevented me from showing up for myself and others. Through coaching, I am more present in my life. I now don’t have all the racing thoughts in my head about what “needs to be done.”

— adult client

The difference in how the past few academic quarters have felt compared to the entirety of my previous school experience has been night and day. I feel like I have the tools and skills to keep progressing. I can’t thank you enough. You have been such a helpful resource.

— emerging adult client

I appreciate all you have done to help my son. He is doing beautifully in school, and I know that your guidance in terms of organization, scheduling, budgeting time, and study skills have enabled him to succeed. He has greatly benefitted from your work together!

— mom of 1st year university student

My time with NSEF was transformative. I had done therapy before and always found a disconnect with therapists who didn’t share my life experience. My coach at NSEF blew me away with her ability to find simple ways for me to improve my work life. After a month, I noticed a difference. I was able to put suggestions into practice and make strides. After another month, I realized I was no longer defeated and could look forward to the future with confidence that I’d reach my goals.

— adult client

Thank you for helping our daughter! I have seen HUGE changes! The “old” her seems to be back and happy to get her stuff done. I will not hesitate to sign up again for coaching again if it looks like we need additional support in the future.

— mom of 8th grader

We were thrilled with EF coaching with your company!! I tell all my friends about NSEF. I’d love to be a personal reference anytime for anyone who wants to know about coaching.

— mom of 2nd year university student

I want to personally thank you for your understanding and flexibility in helping our family. Our daughter’s coach was excellent and able to connect with her right away. We’ve both really seen the benefits in the skills and tools you offer.

— dad of 9th grader

I now have an inner dialogue when I get sidetracked which helps me stay on track and stay on time.

— emerging adult client

Our son is much better at taking charge of his schedule, planning for assignments, and getting his work done on time. He’s looking forward to working with NSEF again next semester. His twin brother would also like to get started working with a coach from your team, if you have space.

— parents of 1st year university students

I came to coaching after I was told that I would not be promoted to a management role because I lacked EF skills. I spent a long time Googling and taking classes my company provided on executive functions. Yet, I still had no idea how to get the skills I was lacking. This led me to NSEF. After one month of coaching, I was able to do things I had put off for years. For instance, I had been avoiding making a decision on life insurance and with the help of my coach, I was able to get in the mindset I needed to make a calculated decision for my future.

— adult client

We’ve seen big differences in how our son is tracking reminders, using his calendar, and thinking about his work. He even proactively straightens up his room now. We still can’t believe it!

— parents of 9th grader

I wholeheartedly recommend NSEF for people looking for change with organizing, managing, and completing tasks. You will learn an amazing amount.

— adult client

We are all so happy that life is getting back to normal. Our coach has been a fantastic fit and offered tools on how to make things less stressful. It’s really helped hearing it from someone other than mom and dad. Thank you for all of your help!

— mom of 12th grader

NSEF has been amazing for my son. His teachers have raved about his improvement. He’s doing so well that it’s inspired me to reach out and ask if I can also start up with coaching. 

— mom of a 9th grader (and soon-to-be EF coaching client herself!)

I just wanted to let you know that our first coaching session was wonderful. Our daughter really seemed thrilled with how it went and was so impressed by the match. I think this is exactly the sort of coach she needs to work on her areas of challenge and build confidence in her ability to perform her best and be successful. Thank you so much!!

— mom of 12th grader

My coaching sessions were catered specifically to what I needed help with, not just what works for others. I could talk with my coach about MY specific tasks that I needed help with and she would work through targeted ways I could address the things that were often too hard for me to complete on my own.

— adult client

Our daughter just finished her first ten coaching sessions and loved them. She is energized and empowered! I’d now like to do the same for her brother so that he has a toolbox to hit the ground running in high school.

— mom of 8th grader

Maggie’s coaching is tailored exactly to the issues my child is dealing with and she listens with suggestions on things I’m not sure how to handle. I practice the advice she gives me, and I now see various situations through a different lens than I did before finding Maggie.

— mom of 9th grader

What a change this quarter! I now get updates as her teachers enter grades and our daughter is doing great. She has been making good use of her study halls and getting a good amount of work done at school. Thank you! We appreciate your help so very much!

— mom of 12th grader

Thank you for your patience with my son. I know it is not always easy. He’s learned a lot from you, and I appreciate your time with him! You are AMAZING!

— mom of 10th grader

Our daughter is very proud of how she’s doing right now. She’s more organized and disciplined. 

— mom of 12th grader

EF coaching has been the best investment I’ve made in many years. I highly recommend NSEF to anyone who wants to have a more fulfilled, efficient, and smooth life.

— adult client

We can not say enough about how valuable your team’s coaching has been to help our daughter learn strategies and gain skills. We so appreciate your expertise and the relationship our coach built with our daughter. Thank you!

— family with an 11th grader

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the care that’s gone into the matching process. I have had a great experience here so far. I’m so glad I chose NSEF!

— emerging adult client

Just wanted to send a quick note with our highest praise. Our daughter was really burnt out and possibly depressed at the end of the semester. EF coaching offered the perfect support. Our daughter has loved working with NSEF, and her coach did a great job of keeping us informed as parents when necessary without breaking any confidence. We are grateful for your help. Thanks for the great match.

— Parents of 1st year university student 

We are so grateful to have found you! Since our son’s anxiety is related to school performance, we knew what we needed wasn’t from a therapist or social worker – but we had no idea where to look until we found NSEF.

— mom of 8th grader

Maggie is hands down one of the most insightful, caring, and fair-minded counselors I have worked with. I walk away from our sessions inspired and more prepared to act on those energized emotions. Thank you for being so wise and so open-hearted with me. What a gift you are!

— adult client

Our daughter has voiced how much what she’s learned from her sessions has helped her this semester, and I’ve seen her confidence grow tremendously! Do you think you could work with our older college-age daughter, too? I’m grateful for all that you do.

— Mom of 11th grader

We love the strategies you’ve taught our son on how to handle problems he gets “stuck” on as this is where he often breaks down, messes up, and really gets frustrated. This process is just what we were looking for!”

— mom of 8th grader
