Feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck?
You’re not broken—you’re human. In this upbeat convo, executive function coach Liz McCarron (Excel With ADHD) breaks down the six executive functions—the brain’s “management system”—and gives simple, doable hacks to help you start, focus, and finish what matters in your business. Even if you don’t have ADHD, these tools will supercharge your follow-through.
What you’ll learn during this episode:
-
The six executive functions (activation, focus, effort, emotions, memory, action) and how they show up for entrepreneurs
-
The “orchestra & conductor” analogy: why your prefrontal cortex runs the show—and what throws it off
-
How to spot common EF roadblocks: busy but not progressing, perfectionism, decision fatigue, fire-drill mode
-
Practical brain hacks: break big tasks tiny, externalize memory (hello, Parking Lot list), set up a focus-friendly environment using senses (sound, scent, fidgets, hydration, movement)
-
Why procrastination is usually an emotional response—and how to shift it
