Creating individualized plans through collaboration.

Executive Function skills help us manage information, make decisions, and plan.

Essentially, they activate, organize and manage other brain functions. 

Marianne can help you to:

  • organize

  • manage time & information

  • plan & prioritize

  • pace yourself so you don’t feel overwhelmed

  • maintain focus

  • increase flexibility

  • start the hard task

  • self-assess

  • study and work more efficiently. 

  • leverage your strengths 

  • self-advocate

The net result of improving these skills is often reduced stress.

Research also suggests that mastery of Executive Function skills is a better predictor of success in school than IQ.

EB White quote

“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to savor the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”


-E.B. White

Don’t take my word for it…

  • We can build and strengthen our brains everyday, at every age - literally. My clients describe building up their…

    • “confidence”

    • strategies to “manage what’s coming at me”

    • tools to be “more organized and efficient”

    • strategies “to get more work done without feeling overloaded” 

    • ability to “tackle tasks with a sense of clarity”

    • “knowledge about myself that will help me for the rest of my life”

    • “ability to plan out my nights way better and have a better sense of how long things will take”

  • “Build Up has helped me so much over the past year. Marianne offers a comfortable space where I can learn things about myself that will help me for the rest of my life.”

    - High School Student

  • “The strategies, skills, and awareness I gained from Executive Function Coaching with Marianne help me get more work done without feeling overloaded. Blocking, planning, and pacing help me unhook from feeling overwhelmed by focusing on one aspect of a project for an allotted amount of time. The scheduled breaks allow me to move my body and use my mind for something unrelated to my work before returning to a work session that feels manageable. Thanks to the strategies I learned from Marianne, I am also able to thoroughly enjoy my free time because I can step away from a work session feeling satisfied with my progress.”

    - Business Owner

  • “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.”

    - Parent of a High School Student

  • “Executive Function Coaching with Marianne has helped me become more organized and efficient. It starts with better and more realistic task planning. Every morning, I write a daily plan, which would have been unthinkable prior to working with Marianne. The unfinished and yet-to-be-started tasks remain on the list for the next day, which allows for continuity and big-picture tracking. Even more shocking, I am now able to make micro-plans with notes and systematic steps for how to complete projects. In the past, time management has been challenging mostly because I was too optimistic. I have become more adept at recognizing potential snags, pivoting, and incorporating contingency plans. I always look forward to my sessions with Marianne; she is engaging, encouraging and fun.”

    - Business Owner

  • "I think that not only did EF coaching with Marianne help a massive amount, but it also aided me in shifting my mindset over the summer. I came into the school year not only with the knowledge that junior year is important and one in which I want to succeed, but also with my EF skills set in better shape to help me do so. I feel more put-together, prepared, and eager than last year, and I can attribute a lot of that improvement to Marianne's coaching."

    -High School Student

  • “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.”
