🛋️ Why Traditional Coping Strategies Sometimes Don’t Work

Therapists often see clients who know they need to plan, organise, and self-regulate — but can’t seem to do it.

Burnout and executive function challenges affect the very brain networks needed to follow through on coping strategies.

Our Executive Function Coach Training bridges this gap, giving therapists neuroscience-based tools to help clients:

🔹 Reduce overwhelm
🔹 Rebuild mental flexibility
🔹 Develop sustainable routines

🏢 Burnout Isn’t Laziness — It’s a Brain in Survival Mode

In high-pressure workplaces, chronic stress impairs planning, working memory, and adaptability — the very skills employees rely on to perform.

For neurodivergent employees or those with executive function difficulties, this can mean:

🔹 Struggling to prioritise
🔹 Avoiding decisions
🔹 Feeling constantly behind

With the right understanding and support, Managers can help employees recover from overload and prevent burnout before it takes hold.

🎓 Our Executive Function Coach Training gives professionals practical tools to boost focus, resilience, and workplace wellbeing.

📚 When Overload Looks Like Acting Out

In classrooms, burnout doesn’t just look like tired teachers — it’s in pupils too.

When executive function skills like organising, prioritising, and shifting between tasks are overwhelmed, children can appear:

🔹 Distracted
🔹 Forgetful
🔹 Reactive

It’s not defiance — it’s the brain signalling it’s at capacity.

🎓 Our Level 1 Executive Function Coach Training equips educators to spot early signs of overload and use simple strategies to help pupils regain focus and confidence.

🧠 Missed deadlines. Emotional reactions. Disengagement.

It’s easy to see these as performance or behaviour issues — but what if they’re not?

Often, they’re signs of executive function challenges — overwhelmed brains struggling to plan, prioritise, and regulate under pressure.

👉 What’s really going on underneath?

🧠 Stress and overwhelm don’t just disappear — they change how the brain works.

When behaviour feels inexplicable — whether in the classroom, workplace, or therapy room — it’s often not a lack of effort. It’s the brain under strain.

📉 Burnout is a growing crisis:

74% of UK workers report significant burnout symptoms

82% of employees globally are at risk of burnout in 2025

Chronic stress impairs memory, focus, organisation, and decision-making

Executive function challenges and burnout go hand in hand — and they show up in everyday life as:

🔹 Missed deadlines
🔹 Disorganisation or overwhelm
🔹 Emotional reactions
🔹 Difficulty making decisions

These aren’t “bad behaviour” or “poor performance” - they’re signals from an overloaded brain.

🎓 Want to go further? Learn how to coach executive function to support students, colleagues, or therapy clients.

Our Level 1 EF Coach Training gives you practical, brain-based tools to make a lasting impact.

💡 Did you know burnout impacts how our brain plans, switches tasks, and makes decisions?

Studies show that when people are burned out, their executive functions take a hit — meaning it’s harder to organise, focus, and adapt.

For those with ADHD or executive function challenges, this overload can quickly lead to emotional exhaustion and burnout.

If you work with pupils, colleagues, or clients struggling with overwhelm, understanding this can make all the difference.

🎓 Our Level 1 Executive Function Coach Training teaches you how to support these challenges and help people build resilience and confidence.

🌟 The 4 Essential Skills Every Child Needs to Feel Capable and Calm 🌟

Executive function skills are the building blocks of success in school and life. They’re not about intelligence — they’re about how your child’s brain manages daily challenges like:

🧠 Remembering and Using Information
– Holding onto details and using them to get things done (like remembering what the teacher said).

🔄 Switching Gears and Adapting
– Moving smoothly between tasks and coping with changes or new ideas.

🎯 Staying Focused and Managing Impulses
– Sticking with what they’re doing, even when distractions pop up.

📈 Setting Goals and Following Through
– Making plans, getting organised, and seeing things through to the end.

If your child struggles with these skills, you’re not alone. Summer is the perfect time to give them the support they need to build confidence, independence, and a fresh start for the new school year.

Who are Connections in Mind?

Connections in Mind was founded in 2015 by three like minded women, who together, wanted to be instrumental in making the current UK education system less challenging for students with executive function challenges.

Imogen and Bettina had been working together for a number of years supporting individual students executive functioning. They met Victoria at a training course she organised led by one of the world’s foremost experts in supporting children with executive function deficits Dr Peg Dawson. They soon realised that they were all passionate about helping students succeed and shared goals and ideas which would make them excellent business partners.

The business is going from strength to strength. We now have over 30 coaches on our books, we working with a number of schools and have developed and launched our Connected Parenting Course – for parents of children with EF challenges. We are looking forward to bring many new innovative services to parents, children and schools in the coming years.
