CoreCoaching Reviews

Dave F. Highland Park, Ill.

“I can hardly believe my life now as Dave 2.0. In control, saying “no” to the wrong things and “yes’ to the right things. Before CoreCoaching, I detested planning. Now your way, I see planning as my friend, not the tyrant like before. Building up COREage to plan and execute was the best help of all. Thank you, Becky.”

Dan T. Boston, MA

“In particular, the Shark readiness portion of the CoreFour training opened my eyes to how I fell short in past presentations. Focus and follow-through are so good! Good insights and great methods.”

Diana T. Burlington, VT

“Thank you for helping me live my best self – Diana 2.0! Off the anxiety meds now that I’m getting things done, done well, and on time. The things that helped me the most were getting organized, setting priorities, and no more over-promising.”

Sarah H. Cambridge, MA

“We are moving forward and working better as a team, thanks to you and mindful listening! Jenna and Erik are more confident in their presentations ( thanks to the presentation coaching session), and it’s paying off in new business for us. I hope to work more with you in the future.”

Devon P. Portsmouth, NH

“I wanted to get back to you and let you know your core work with me has paid off. I continue to work on my focus, saying “no” and keeping to the schedule. We are meeting a deadline, and our partners are pleased with the turn-around. Every young founder should take your COREageous coaching to sharpen their game.

Greg S. Boston, MA

“We are amazed at Jeffrey’s successful return to college this semester. His ADHD is still a challenge, but it is so much more manageable since working with you. Probably the biggest gains are from his “self-leadership” practice with you. He is more accountable and responsible and no longer a procrastinator. We are very happy with his success. Many thanks.

Alison K. Beverly, MA

“Our family wants to thank you for helping Jonas experience success on many levels this semester. Midterm is usually a downtime for all of us, but this year it was a time to celebrate – terrific grades! More than grades, you taught Jonah how to step back and solve problems and advocate for himself. Even my husband is using your methods to be a better CEO.

Ava S. Homewood, Ill.

“Managing my ADHD was my life’s challenge. Life is so much better, thanks to you.

Jay H. Phoenix, AZ

“I never thought I’d see my 2.0. I actually feel fulfilled at the end of most days. It’s all about setting my mind every day to be capable and in control personally and professionally. Thanks for keeping me on track toward my better self.

Matt G. Columbus, OH

“We’ve scored with your CoreCoaching! The team is producing great results even with the recent challenges (Covid). Establishing trust early in the year allowed us to work remotely together. Thanks for your hard work in keeping us strong and courageous.

Pam N. Scranton, PA

“Still rocking it despite Covid!! Keeping up with my calendar, sleep, planning, etc. So organized at work. I even handled another run-in with the team leader, who over-stepped her boundaries. It’s a great feeling to have this kind of control. Thank you Rebecca!

Gary J. Portsmouth, N.H.

“Your coaching has steered Reid down a better path. He focuses on his WHYs and WHY NOTs to drive his motivation. Your Go Micro approach has been just what he has needed all these years. We are so proud of what he has accomplished. I want him to use you as a resource as an entrepreneur.

Denise G. Manchester, N.H.

“I’m so pleased with how you have transformed my son’s life with your CoreCoaching. I know he can get narrow and very rigid in his thinking, but you have expanded his vision dramatically. I am always surprised to hear him consider different perspectives before deciding on an opinion. This is great progress, personally and socially. Thank you, Rebecca!”

Dawson E., Evanston, Ill

“Rebecca thank you for helping me reach my vision of my optimal self. Being the CEO of me has put me in control of accounting for my time and managing distraction. I never thought I’d be living what we worked so hard to achieve.”

Matt G., Columbus, OH

Thank you Rebecca.

Dan. L. Chicago, IL

Rebecca, thank you for coaching our team to communicate more effectively within our team and with our customers. Our revenues soared this last quarter and the staff attributes the lift to your good work.

Devon P. Portsmouth, NH

I wanted to get back to you and let you know your self-leadership work with me has paid off. I continue to work on my focus, saying “no” and keeping to the schedule. We are meeting deadline and our angels are pleased with the turn-around. Every young founder should take your COREageous coaching to sharpen their game. 

Ron B. Chicago, Illionois

Thank you Becky! Your CORE four coaching presentation to my staff was awesome! They are already moving forward and supporting each other. The payoff is with the communication on the job and the speed in which we are moving along.  We are already anticipating our check up session in December. 

David S. Sudbury, MA

Rebecca, many thanks for getting to the root of my procrastination!  I left every session eager and motivated to get stuff done. Your 80/20 is the “bee’s knees!” I got the promotion, I’m happier now and less stressed, now that I’m more efficient. Your methods have also helped my son who is a lot like me! 

Joe V. Boston, MA

After working with more than a few startup coaches, your guidance was the most productive. I’d say that what helped me the most was how you helped me manage my distractions. I still do my concentration exercises everyday and WOW what a difference. Thank you and Happy New Year! 

Evan G. Boston, MA

The CoreFour coaching gave me what my mountain of self-help books couldn’t. I’d still be looking for management gurus and loading up on meds if it wasn’t for you. I’ve “got core” and I’m moving forward thanks to you Becky.

Dave B. Providence, RI

Rebecca, your CoreCoaching enabled me to take on some pretty scary challenges with this startup. Probably the most helpful was the emotional control piece. For me, getting my thinking brain in control of my emotional brain was the real game changer for me and my new business. I’m making better decisions and happier for it!

Dean B. Cambridge

Your COREageous core training last month was a “jumpstarter” for my staff. We all agree that the results are paying off big time – even our customers notice the greater efficiency. Most appreciated was the segment on new ways to manage anxiety and procrastination. Other speakers have given us some good tips, but making it happen is what you did for us. Procrastination lost us over a million dollars last year, so we are 80/20 in 2015!

Jerri Toronto, Canada

Hello Rebecca, You’ve been a huge positive influence on me and my progress!! I’m thankful for you! It’s all about CORE! I’m also using what I’ve learned from you and am helping my clients to be more productive.

Rita C. Dallas, TX

Becky, from the start I knew you could help me and you have…immensely! I’ve tried other coaches, but you understood me best. My new skills and routines have stuck and there’s no going back. Many thanks again. 

Prof. Donald G.

Thank you for coming to our Future Entrepreneurs conference last week. Your presentation and mini-coaching gave our students lots to work with. The biggest takeaway and eye-opener for our group was how powerful one’s vocal image is to convincing investors. When money is tight, the voice must be right!

Jay L. and My Associates Cambridge, MA

Your CoreFour hit all the right targets for our team. Best of all were the new ways for handling the stress and for getting things done – done well and on time!

Karyn M. Weston, MA

Rebecca, after so many years on meds that didn’t work, your CoreFour approach was a relief. Your coaching changed my brain naturally, and even though I still get distracted, at the end of the day I’m getting more done.

Dierdre J. Boston, MA

Rebecca, thank you for working with Walter. You saved our business and he feels so much better about himself when he’s meeting deadlines.Love the 80/20!

Dan H. Arlington, MA

Working with you has been life changing. Your “core” work has paid off, not only for my business but for my family. It’s great to have the confidence and mental stamina to stay productive.

Larry D. Providence , RI

Courage I had, Core I didn’t have. Your core training helped me get back on track with the grunt work needed to get my pet care business off the ground. It’s been 4 months now, and I’m on time, on target with my to-do list, and in the black for the first time! Thank you Rebecca! I will keep you updated with more boasting to come.

Crystal Weiss (LLT in Chilliwack, BC)

It’s been 2+ years since you delivered an amazing Zoom presentation at my office, and I find myself often referring back to your book “The Zen of Listening”.  Your expertise truly left a lasting impression on me. I just wanted to reach out and let you know.

CoreCoaching for Adults with ADHD and Executive Function Challenges

Executive functioning is all about getting things done, done well and on time. Some people with ADHD may also have executive function challenges. 

Clients who can benefit from CoreCoaching say:

  • I have great ideas but have trouble following through with projects.
  • I have sticky notes everywhere, and I still miss appointments and things I’m supposed to do.
  • I don’t know how to prioritize – everything is important and urgent.
  • I can’t get started on important tasks; procrastination is a big problem for me.
  • I’m a pleaser and say yes to everything, then I get overwhelmed.
  • I need to get more done each day. I want to feel satisfied for accomplishing a good day’s work.

We start with a 90-minute interview (by phone or Zoom) to determine a target for coaching ─  a vision of your optimal level of executive functioning ─ your 2.0. What kind of a day would make you feel more in control, accomplished and successful? How would you like to be perceived by others? Where are you now relative to your best self?

Your 2.0 vision may include:

  • Building structure into your day
  • Managing Procrastination
  • Emotional Self-regulation
  • Being More Attentive with Better Focus and Memory
  • Becoming a Better Leader
  • Managing Your Time More Efficiently
  • Prioritizing and Planning
  • Communicating More Effectively
Coaching sessions are usually 1x a week (30-60 minutes) with accountability checks in between sessions.

Set up your complimentary conversation.

I want to learn about you and how we can work together to realize your optimal self.
