Finding opportunity in the crisis: Executive functioning coaching during the pandemic.

Abstract

This article describes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the relationships and work between executive functioning coaches and their clients. It especially looks at the shared experience of the crisis in those relationships, and how this affected the interactions between them. How the frame, boundaries, and personal disclosures were altered is highlighted. Three case reports show the very varied ways in which the shared crisis affected the work and the two individuals engaged in it. The overall strengthening of the dyads is a surprising and positive effect of the global crisis in these relationships.
