Three ways we can work together

In our one-on-one sessions, we'll figure out how your brain works, find strategies that fit, and build from there. No two people get the same approach.

My presentations make brain science feel personal, not academic. People leave with a new understanding of themselves and a place to start.

Interactive group sessions for kids and adults built around doing, not just listening. Everyone walks away with tools and strategies they can try the very next day.

You know the feeling

When your brain won't cooperate, even simple things feel impossible. Executive function skills affect both what's happening inside and what shows up on the outside.

When it’s hard on the inside

Executive Function Skill Emotional Regulation

Emotional Regulation

"A small setback derails your afternoon. Then you're mad at yourself."

Executive Function Skill Flexible Thinking

Flexible Thinking

"If Plan A fails or stalls, it's hard to regroup. Everything feels like it's over."

Executive Function Skill Self-Awareness

Self-Awareness

"You don't know why everything feels this hard. You just know that it does."

When it shows up on the outside

Executive Function Skill Planning Prioritizing

Planning & Prioritizing

"10 things to do and you don’t know where to start. So nothing gets done."

Executive Function Skill Time Management

Time Management

"You were sure that it would only take 20 minutes. It's been an hour."

Executive Function Skill Task Initiation

Task Initiation

"You've been thinking about starting it all day but still haven't. Sound familiar?"


Working Memory Impulse Control Attention Organization Goal-Directed Persistence

EXECUTIVE FUNCTION SKILLS ALSO INCLUDE

Who I work with

Students

High school seniors & college students

Whether you're heading to college or already there, the jump from "someone will remind me" to "figure it out yourself" is real. We work on the skills that make that jump feel less overwhelming.

Adults

Professionals, parents & self-starters

Maybe you got diagnosed recently or you've always known something was off. Either way, you're done white-knuckling through every week and ready to try something that actually fits how your brain works.

Organizations

Companies, community groups & conferences

Workshops and talks that provide practical tools and a new perspective on how people work best. Whether it's a school, a company, or a conference, give your people education and strategies they'll actually use.

As heard and seen on

Executive function coaching step 1

A free intro call. You tell me what's going on, I ask questions, and we figure out if working together makes sense. (If coaching with me isn't the right fit, I'll let you know that too.)

We talk.

Executive function coaching step 2

Weekly sessions where we explore how your brain works, tailor tools and strategies to fit your needs, and find what works. We'll focus on short and long-term goals and adjust as we go.

We build your toolkit.

Executive function coaching step 3

Take the wheel, when you’re ready.

Sessions will space out over time, and when you feel ready, you'll start handling things on your own. That's the whole point. You don't need me forever, and that's exactly how it should be.

"Understanding how your brain works changes the way you talk to yourself. That's where everything starts."

- Hannah Choi

Why I’m passionate about this

I got into this work because I needed it myself. I have ADHD, and I spent years figuring out how to work with my brain instead of against it. I get what it feels like because I've lived it. The frustration, the self-doubt, the wondering why everything seems easier for everyone else. Now that's what I help other people do.

I also co-host a podcast, I Think I Can Be Happier, with my friend and fellow executive function coach, Amy McDuffie. I’m a mom of two teenagers, and someone who writes all her errands down and still forgets to get milk from the grocery store.

Therapists, counselors, and schools: I welcome referrals and I'm happy to coordinate care.

What people experience

  • "I spent years thinking the problem was my lack of business knowledge. Eventually I realized it was my executive functioning. Hannah helped me understand myself in a way I never have before, and together we've come up with solutions that are unique to me and how I work. The ripple effects extend throughout my business and my life."

    — Helena

  • "My daughter went from totally overwhelmed by homework to a young woman who comes home, does her assignments, and is super organized. This would not have happened without Hannah's dedication and support."
