About Beyond BookSmart

The nation’s leader in Executive Function coaching has been serving clients since 2006. Beyond BookSmart works with students and our WorkSmart Coaching division focuses on serving adults. Executive function coaching teaches students and adults how to organize, plan, prioritize, manage time, maintain focus, self-assess, and study efficiently. Self-management skills are increasingly important in a complex world with many distractions and competing priorities. People who learn these skills are better equipped to navigate the challenges of school and adult life. Many of our clients are bright, capable individuals in late elementary school to adults of all ages who are not achieving their potential as a result of ineffective work habits. Some have diagnoses such as ADHD or other learning differences and see coaching as excellent additional support to school-based interventions. Some of our clients have emotional challenges such as anxiety which impact their ability to work effectively. Other clients we work with have no formal diagnoses yet benefit from learning more effective ways to manage their academic or workplace demands. Our coaches work 1:1 online to help people learn how to manage their time, attention, effort, and emotions, as well as stay organized, plan and prioritize, self-advocate, and become more self-aware. Using our deep understanding of the nature of behavior change, our coaches help clients discover their own motivation to become more effective at school or at work. All of our coaches have master’s level degrees or higher (or equivalent) and have been rigorously vetted and trained, with access to over 400 tools and strategies to customize each client’s experience, according to their needs and preferences.

Thank you for the "unscattering" of my work. Hello, I just wanted to make your team aware that I am so glad to have found WorkSmart Coaching. The intake process was very thorough, the coach match was excellent, and these past months have been invaluable to my work and life. I have recommended WorkSmart coaching to others, and provided your information to fellow healthcare professionals as an option for their clients.

Hit or Miss The effectiveness depends on who the coach is, rather than the BBS system per se. BBS does have a pre-match process, but it is not possible for prospective clients to get a good feel for the competence of the coach. We got a coach for my son the summer before going to college and he had the same coach through the first half of the Fall Semester - there was no discernible improvement and the session reports by the coach were generic (even though our son had signed for us to have access to it), making it difficult to figure out what's not working. I will give this coach a ZERO STAR. Then he got a new coach (this time we knew how to evaluate better), and within a few sessions, the difference was like night & day. In addition, the change continues to improve. This 2nd coach deserves FIVE STARS.

So far so good So far so good, but we have just barely begun our coaching journey. Perhaps timing this review request a little further into the process would make more sense.

Beginning the process... The process for finding a coaching match went very well. We are still in the process of learning all the executive function skills that my college aged child with ADHD needs, but so far so good! Love the ease of the portal.

Appreciating BBS coaching We signed on for coaching from Beyond Book Smart this year for our daughter who is in 10th grade. She looks forward to her sessions, has a positive rapport with her coach, and appreciates the strategies she offers. Forearmed with these tools and mindsets, my daughter has decided to sign on for honors and AP courses next year. Junior year at high school is stressful enough, but the capacity to curb distractions and manage one's assignments and goals is a huge asset, well worth the price.
