Is this you?

You want freedom and flexibility to work from home.

You want to leave a positive impact on the world through your unique gifts.

You love to guide others through a process of transformation and growth.

We empower adults through online executive function coaching, guiding them to enhanced skills in the key areas of life skills such as:

What will you do in this role?

As an UpSkill Specialists, you will engage in one-on-one remote coaching with adults with ADHD and ASD to strengthen their executive functioning skills.

You'll also facilitate Client Team Meetings to celebrate progress, identify new goals, and determine responsibilities.

You will need to have firm boundaries while also being flexible to evolving needs. This work requires a high level of self-awareness, curiosity, humility, and a "can do" attitude.

Are you up for the challenge?

You are also responsible for maintaining open and transparent communication with the adults, their plan designers, their families, and your colleagues.

More things to think about before deciding if this role is right for you:

• You Struggle with Demanding Situations: If you find it difficult to work with demanding parents or have challenges in setting firm boundaries, this role might not be suitable for you. Our coaches need to maintain professional yet empathetic relationships with both clients and their care teams.

• You are Frequently Traveling: Consistency and dependability are key in this role. If you are often traveling or unable to commit to a stable schedule, it could impact the continuity and effectiveness of the coaching process.
  
• You Are Seeking a Less Challenging Role:This position can be demanding and requires a high level of professional resilience. If you are not looking for a role that challenges and pushes you to grow, this might not be the right fit
