About Karen Cook Rodriguez
I know how much you want to be a successful manager of your own life. And if you’re a parent, I also know how much you want your student to thrive in school and in life. In order to do that, you or your student need help gaining skills in organization, planning, and time management. The problem is that even though these skills are expected throughout our education, and later in our careers, they are not overtly taught. And if you or your child have struggled for a long time, it’s very difficult to get out of this hole alone. This perfect storm can leave you feeling overwhelmed and guilt-ridden, even powerless.
As a parent of two children with learning differences, I’ve seen firsthand how underdeveloped skills can affect more than productivity and timeliness. Struggling with what specialists call ‘executive functioning’ means battling confidence, resilience, and overall self-worth. As a trained executive functioning coach in the SKLAR method, a proven process that’s equipped thousands of individuals to manage their time successfully, I believe you’re more than capable to utilize these tools and exceed even your own expectations.
It takes time and intention to turn small changes into everyday habits, and with curiosity and commitment, you or your student can have the self-understanding you’ve always wanted and all the benefits that come with it.
Our work together can transform bad habits into helpful routines, so you can finally experience what it’s like to perform at your highest ability level. It’s my goal to help you or your student do more than survive the rat race but to thrive in every aspect of life.
Karen Cook Rodriguez is a graduate of Santa Clara University, trained executive functioning coach, and a Spanish and English speaker. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her family and their labradoodle, Annie.
