About Me

Hi all!

I’m an Illinois native that can usually be found with a good book, trying a new crochet project, or enjoying time outside. I’m a former English teacher, so I am 100% a word nerd and will never pass up the opportunity to hear a good pun.

Throughout my time in the classroom I found that students were not getting taught the skills they needed to be successful in day-to-day life. I discovered the world of executive function coaching and I’ve never looked back. I am passionate about sharing what these skills can do to improve people’s lives. I can talk about EF skills and how strategies can be adapted to an individual’s brain for hours.

I am a firm believer in, “Learn what works for you, laugh as you go, and you’ll grow in ways you didn’t know possible.”

**Coaching Style**
Every brain is unique and I am honored to be able to help people develop systems that work for their needs. Coaching with The Goalden System provides individuals a safe space to enhance their executive function skills. I love guiding clients through improving their time management, focus, planning, prioritizing, and so much more! The skills we work on help make the day-to-day tasks seem less daunting and overwhelming. After improving their executive function skills, our clients often feel less stressed and empowered to take on the day.

As a coach, I take the time to get to know my clients, and truly listen to their experiences. I am a positive individual that is able to guide clients through the process of implementing new strategies to better their executive function skills. Through 1:1 coaching, accountability meetings, and check-ins, clients will always feel supported on their journey.

You’ve got the goals, we’ve got the systems to make them happen!

**Specialties**
I am an executive function coach that helps individuals improve their day-to-day skills, such as time management, focus, planning, prioritizing, organization, and self-regulation. These are skills that we all use every day, but for many, they don’t have a system that works for them yet. That’s where coaching with The Goalden System comes in. We focus on finding strategies and tools to help individuals develop systems that work for THEIR brain.

There is no one size fits all at The Goalden System. We take an all encompassing support approach, where our clients are guided through 1:1 meetings, as well as between meetings in order to continue moving towards reaching their goals.

**Education**
*MA in Special Education, Northeastern Illinois University

**Fees**
*Consult: The Goalden System offers a free consultation to determine if coaching is right for you. Ease and efficiency are important when onboarding our clients. Our onboarding process ensures that communication preferences are established, preferred coaching characteristics are determined, and the client’s needs are identified. We offer monthly, 12-meeting, and 24-meeting partnerships for 1:1 coaching. The 12-meeting partnerships are the preferred option for most individuals as it provides our clients with the opportunity to experience a shift in behaviors leading to positive outcomes.
*1-on-1: We offer opportunities for our community to experience the impact that accountability has on performance and motivation. The Goalden System facilitates in-person group Productivity Power Hours at various locations throughout the Charleston, SC area. We also have 1-on-1 accountability sessions that are available to all of our audiences on a virtual platform.
*Group/Cohort: We provide group workshops for schools, businesses, and organizations. Each of our workshops is tailored to our audience and the learning objective outlined by their team. We provide a complimentary meeting with upper-level management to determine their goals and outcomes. The primary topics covered in these workshops are task initiation, time management, and prioritization. These executive function skills are universally needed among groups no matter the official setting.
