Job coaching provides professionals with executive function skills, 1:1 coaching, and accommodation support so you can thrive at work and at home.
Job Coaching
Our modern workplaces aren't always designed to support people who think, learn, and work differently, including those with ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism and more. It may feel like it takes more time, energy, and stress to keep up with your work then it should. You may feel like your daily work productivity doesn’t match your ‘output’ of effort and energy.
Common challenges include:
-
Overwhelmed by to-do lists or forgetting small things
-
Prioritizing easy tasks over difficult ones
-
Inconsistent or “all or nothing” productivity
-
Getting anxious before meetings or finding it hard to focus
-
Feeling like you never accomplished ‘enough’ at the end of the day or completed what you set out to do
-
Agonizing over dreaded tasks
-
Overthinking emails or managing large volume of emails/chats
-
Updating your work systems to keep up with a faster pace

Job coaching can help.

Clearly communicate your thoughts in meetings and in writing

We help professionals with disabilities, mental health conditions, and neurodivergence as well as those dealing with demanding workloads or who just want to explore ways to improve their worklives (sometimes all of the above!)
To meet the unique needs of those we serve, we bring experience in social work, job coaching, vocational rehabilitation and corporate HR & DEI strategy, coupled with extensive experience with assistive technology and workplace accommodations.
We specialize in working in the tech industry and with software engineers of all levels.
Executive Function Training
Time management, organization, decision making, memory, and focus are some of the complex activities that make up executive functioning.
Our abilities in these areas have huge impact on work performance and daily life. Yet most of the time we use them completely unconsciously, based on models we learned in childhood.
Executive function training gives you tailored higher level thinking tools and strategies to manage the challenges work and life throws your way.
Job Coaching
Job, vocation, career—whatever you call it, the modern work environment is becoming more complicated—leading to epidemic levels or burnout and workplace stress.
Each industry and individual faces different barriers and challenges. Whether you need support with email management, writing whitepapers, or managing an overwhelming workload, we help you identify new tools and strategies to bring a sense of ease and flow back into your daily work life.
Accommodation & Advocacy
Did you know that employers are obligated to provide accommodations for things like ADHD, Depression, Autism, Anxiety, and more? Most people don't.
VocaWell coaches are experts in all aspects of workplace accommodations. We will deep dive your situation and help you understand the options to advocate for yourself inside AND outside of formal processes.
