Founder & Coach
Meet Nicole G. DeVoss
"Every child has the ability to succeed—they just need the right strategies."
I'm Nicole G. DeVoss, an Executive Functioning and Social Coach dedicated to helping middle school, high school, and college students gain the confidence and practical skills needed for academic success and everyday relationships and friendships.
Through personalized coaching, I help students improve social connections by teaching them the nuances of social interactions so they can put them into practice. I also work with students to improve organization, time management, emotional regulation, communication, and self-advocacy while supporting families every step of the way.
Areas of Practice
How We Help
Executive Functioning
When planning, organization, procrastination, or emotional regulation become daily struggles, executive functioning coaching helps students build the skills they need to succeed.
Students learn how to:
-
Stay organized
-
Manage time effectively
-
Improve focus
-
Complete assignments
-
Reduce procrastination
-
Build confidence
Why Executive Functioning Matters
It's Not About Intelligence.
It's About Having the Right Tools.
Executive functioning is the brain's management system. It is completely unrelated to academic performance, which is often confusing to parents and educators. Adults often think if they just tried harder they would be able to stay organized. That is not always the case! These mental skills (that don't fully develop until age 26!) help students plan, stay focused, solve problems, regulate emotions, and achieve their goals.
When these skills are underdeveloped, students often struggle with:
-
Missing assignments
-
Last-minute cramming
-
Difficulty getting started
-
Emotional overwhelm
-
Poor organization
-
Lack of confidence
With personalized coaching, students learn practical strategies they can use every day to become more independent and successful.
