Manage episode 489784433 series 3589646
What makes Krisler Bailey with Coaching with Krisler LLC a good neighbor?
Ever wonder what makes some college students thrive while others flounder? The answer might lie in executive functioning skills—those critical abilities we all use daily to manage time, stay organized, and make decisions.
Professor Krisler Bailey joins us to share her inspiring journey from 23 years in academia to becoming an executive function and certified health coach. Through her business, Coaching with Krisler LLC, she helps teens and young adults get unstuck and thrive by bridging the often-overwhelming gap between high school and what comes next—college, trade school, or the workforce.
Krisler dispels common myths about executive functioning, highlighting that these skills aren’t just for school or for students with ADHD. Everyone relies on executive functioning in their everyday lives, and summer is the perfect time to build them. Her coaching creates a judgment-free, confidential space where young people can express themselves honestly—without fear that their thoughts will be relayed to parents. This safe, supportive environment empowers students to build confidence, focus, and sustainable habits for long-term success.
What stands out most is Krisler’s authenticity and deep commitment to mentoring the next generation. Reflecting on her own college experience, she shares how much she would’ve benefited from the very kind of support she now provides. Whether you’re a parent trying to prevent the "boomerang effect" or a student feeling overwhelmed by life’s next steps, this conversation offers encouraging, practical tools for growth.
Krisler offers no-fluff strategies that help students focus, boost independence, and take ownership of their future. You can explore her work at coachingwithkrisler.com, or find her on Instagram @Professor_Krisler and on YouTube.
