Julie Tucker
Executive Function Skills Coach

A little bit about me

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University (CSU) in Ft. Collins, CO.

I was the head of the Student Peer Advising Department at CSU where I lead other advisors and coached students on their pathway to graduation. During that time, I worked as a Teaching Assistant to several professors supporting students in the required coursework.

My husband and I have spent 10 years working with a youth ministry called Young Life in which we serve as the Committee Board Chair for our area. We also serve with the National Student Leadership Forum, developing relationships with young adults and encouraging them in servant leadership while helping them explore their personal identity and purpose.

I am passionate about health and fitness. I have been a competitive CrossFit athlete for 12 years, five of which I have coached adults in group classes, personal training, and nutrition. In addition, I have worked professionally over the years in various sales, marketing, and management roles.

Most importantly, I am a wife to my amazing husband David, and a mother to three incredible children (now young adults), all of whom have been diagnosed with ADHD. Along with finding support for ADHD, we have sought various treatments for anxiety, depression, addiction and dyslexia.

Why am I interested in EF Coaching?

I am passionate about coming along-side individuals and helping them chart a path forward to a better version of themselves. My skills, interests, and past experiences have gifted me with the ability to coach others towards success in various arenas. I find great personal fulfillment through this highly relational process. It’s exciting to be a part of other people’s successes!

What is EF Coaching exactly?

Individuals who have weak Executive Function skills experience hardship with things like focus, attention, task initiation, organization, planning/prioritizing and emotional control among other struggles.

Learning to improve these skills becomes more manageable when someone (other than a parent or spouse) comes alongside to provide clarity, direction, and encouragement. 

Frequent gentle reminders and “check-ins” in the form of face-to-face interaction, video conferencing, phone calls and text messages provide a level of accountability.

Over the course of time, research has proven that coaching of this kind achieves significant success in reaching desired goals. Simply put, these methods work! Coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of your life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. The focus is the development and implementation of strategies to reach client-identified goals of enhanced performance and personal satisfaction. Coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice by legal, medical, or other qualified professionals.
