About Private Coaching
Is Fall '26 Right For My Child?
Fall ’26 isn’t for everyone. Here’s what you need to know:
- Age Middle School, High School. The age mix works incredibly well.
- About The Students – This is an eclectic group of accepting kids and parents. They are neurodivergent, quirky, and diverse in every way. All kids are 100% welcome here.
- Commitment: Students must want to be a part of the program, and must show up.
- Zoom: Kids must be willing and able to be on camera for important parts of the sessions. I cannot run a group with empty rectangles on a screen. This is about real humans, so you need good internet and a device with working audio and video.
What Fall ’26 is not:
I can’t make your child do anything, and I don’t micromanage to “make sure they get all their work done”. This semester will not be perfect. But when you trust the process, show up, and try to apply what you’re learning, you will see good results. Fortunately, imperfect action is what matters – it’s the persistent effort that gets results. Baby steps are everything here.

About the Parents I work with for private coaching. This is for involved parents who actively do their own “deep inner work.” This is for parents who understand the importance of the modeling they are doing for their child. Please do not request private coaching if you just want support for your child.
I started my EF coaching practice in 2010 before EF coaching was a “thing”, and many of the new coaches now use variations of the methods I pioneered. Helping kids overcome their challenges and learn how awesome they are is my passion and my life’s work.

The core problem parents ask about is, “How do I get my kid to actually build the foundational EF systems they need in order to be a successful student, independently, so I’m not their EF anymore? And what if they don’t think they need help?”
The answer: Accountability and Implementation.
- During this program, we’ll learn about why students often have systems that don’t work (even though they may think it’s “fine”), the specific foundational systems students actually need, and why they matter.
- We will implement and adapt those systems to your kids’ unique brain and learning styles.
- We will have the accountability needed to build things properly, finally.
My job is to increase buy-in by making it matter to the kids, making it fun, engaging, compelling, and easy enough to make good progress.
Your kid’s job (and your) is to show up and really try.
Fall '26 Schedule
Get Organized
Students will understand the exact organizational systems needed, in clear and simple terms, and will start building them out, or improving the systems they have. This includes physical systems, such as backpacks, study space, papers, as well as digital systems, such as portals, email and monitoring grades.
3 Planning and Time Management Systems
Students will build out, know how to use, and know how to maintain the 3 foundational Time Management systems I teach.
Build The Foundational Maintenance Routine
Students will have a very concrete, and realistic, method for maintaining the 10 systems they need to maintain so things stop falling apart.
Maintain, Mini DIP Overhaul, Touch Up
Sprint #1: Sunday, October 11, 5:00PM PT, 8:00PM ET, 45 min
End with Parent Q&A
Now that they know HOW to maintain, we’ll have a quicker sprint to put it into action again, so we can make sure they know how it works.
WEEKEND 5: Maintain, Big DIP Overhaul
Sprint #1: Sunday, October 25, 5:00PM PT, 8:00PM ET, 60–90 min
End with Parent Q&A
By this time, things will be getting harder to maintain, so we’re going to have a BIG action sprint to maintain – we’ll do a big overhaul to get students ready for rest of the semester.
WEEKEND 6: Hail Mary Plan
Sprint #1: Sunday, November 8, 5:00PM PT, 8:00PM ET, 60–90 min
End with Parent Q&A
Finally, at “Hail Mary time”, we’ll go over the 4 pitfalls that often completely derail students at the very end of a semester, so things don’t fall apart at the last minute. We’ll make an actual plan for how to handle this overwhelming final stretch.
⁉️ Is my child ready?
Will your child buy into this program, or will they be completely resistant? If they have some buy-in and ownership, then this might be a great match. They need to have enough buy-in to make a commitment to show up to each session, and try (it’s ok if you miss one if you get caught up with the replay). No perfection needed, but showing up on time, prepared, with you, and without distractions, is essential. If you’re the one with the buy-in, and you have to “convince” your child to show up, please do not join this program, because it will not work.
To be clear, it is your responsibility to ensure that your child and you show up on time, prepared to be present, so you can get results.
🧠 Students with Executive Function challenges have the same core problems:
They don’t have systems that work, so they can’t stay organized or manage their time independently.
They tend to become overwhelmed, get behind in classes, procrastinate and get stuck, and don’t know how to turn things around… and they often say to parents, “leave me alone, I’ve got this, I can handle it, just trust me, I promise…” even though things continue to fall apart.
Fall ’26 is a series of in-depth sessions with Seth that address these problems in ways that AI slop just can’t.
⚡️ How Sprints Work:
- Parents are expected to show up to Sprints with your child (you can be in different rooms/locations).
- At the beginning of each Sprint, I teach the students about the actions we’re going to take on that day, so they have more buy-in, I teach about the brain, about the way students resist what we’re about to do, how to overcome the resistance, about the benefits.
- Then I teach them everything they need to know in order to build the system, and give them a crystal clear checklist.
- Then we start building together! And one of the best parts, it’s me telling them, not you.
- Then I outline step-by-step what to do after the Sprint.
😬 What if we miss a Sprint? Missing 1 or 2 for a good reason is ok if you’re willing and able to block out time to do the Sprint Replay with your child.
⏰ Can we schedule extra time with Seth 1:1? For those who want personalized coaching with me beyond the program, you can purchase 1:1 sessions if I have times available. Just email my team and ask for the payment and schedule links, and as long as times are available, they’ll get you going. My schedule this fall will be available by mid September.

Outcomes
Grades and attitude towards school improve.
Less overwhelmed, more responsible.
Manage time better, more organized.
Better tools to get unstuck more independently.
The question isn’t, “How do we motivate my child?”
The real question is, “How do we empower students to build the EF skills necessary to do the important things in life, even if they are resistant and don’t ‘feel’ motivated?”
The answer:
With Accountability
With The Right Systems and Skills
With a commitment to Showing up
With other like-minded students
My goal isn’t just to help your child build the EF skills they need to succeed. It’s also to help them feel great about themselves – so my approach places a heavy emphasis on making your child feel seen, heard, noticed, accepted, and understood.
WATCH: Parents, please see the video below, and feel free to show it to your child if helpful.
Accountability
Your child will build the EF systems and skills learn about the system and why it matters. Then we take action and build it, together, with accountability.
Access to Seth
Ongoing support with me in 2 ways: Proactively to solve big problems in-depth, and also Reactively, when urgent issues pop up during the semester.
Parents too
For premium coaching, I have a strategic partnership with parents, so you know how to help your child follow through, and get unstuck.
