Beth Shapiro

I’m an Executive Function, Parenting and Quaterlife Coach. I enjoy working with people who have difficulty with organization, planning, getting started or completing tasks, along with managing time.

My goal is to help you stop waiting until the last minute and live life in the present. I offer support and regular check-ins to ensure we’re on the road towards positive change.

My Journey to Becoming a Coach

I’ve worked with people to improve their executive functioning for nearly 20 years. I’ve also seen friends and family members struggle to keep up with academic, social, and career goals especially during quarterlife transitions. For some, the most frustrating aspect is knowing someone is fully capable of achieving their goals, but their difficulty with organization, planning, prioritizing, and managing time gets in the way of their success.

These skills are essential for success but often aren’t taught in school. For people who don’t naturally develop them, Executive Function, Parenting, and Quarterlife Coaching can be the difference between thriving and continuing to struggle.

Helping People is What I Do

Being a Coach is invigorating. I love guiding people towards positive changes and watching them transform their day-to-day lives. I am committed to understanding exactly what works for each client and customizing my approach to each client’s need.

I Have a Genuine Interest in Others and Bring a Clarifying and Stabilizing Presence To Sessions

I have a natural ability to:

People who know me often say that I am understanding, compassionate, creative, and often find a way to make coaching work fun.

Our Sessions are Focused on You

Sessions will provide you with the space to step away from the noise of the world. In feeling safe and comfortable, you’ll be able to gain clarity and figure things out about yourself. Then, we can work on rebuilding habits and patterns to decrease stress and increase success.

It’s important to me to check in on your progress as we go and ensure that the process is collaborative. There isn’t a “one size fits all” approach to Coaching. Our sessions will fit your specific needs and concerns.

As a Coach, I Embrace the Following Philosophies

I believe you know yourself best.
I know a one-size-fits all approach typically doesn’t work for everyone. You deserve coaching customized to you.
I believe change is hard but possible.
As we recognize patterns and make incremental change, we can thrive.

My Professional Background

I received my undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis and my graduate degree from the University of Chicago.

I have more than twenty years of experience helping people set and achieve academic and career-related goals. In the last 5-10 years, I have focused more on executive function and quarterlife coaching. I have honed my skills in this area and recently creating a coaching program for other professionals to use with their clients.
