Beyond BookSmart Reviews 137

By improving role model skills, sharing results if not follow the method

I contacted Beyond Booksmart to work on long term executive functioning problems and to help me get through a demanding work project for 4-5 months.
My experience has been excellent throughout. The intake process was clear, efficient and professional, with full length conversations to answer all my questions and then find a very well matched coach to work with me. My coach has been great, having plenty of relevant experience and suggesting straightforward tools and techniques. She's been attentive and compassionate as well as consistent in communication and check-ins.
In the 3 months I've worked with my coach, my work project has gone Much better than I expected, with less stress and more successes. I'm also learning what works for me to keep better track of time and becoming better able to balance work, family, and personal priorities.
I've got a way to go, and it does take steady work, but I'm enjoying the journey and am optimistic about continued progress. I wish I had started this much earlier, but if a 60-year-old like me can be helped, I expect many others out there can too.

The Beyond BookSmart team was flexible and compassionate, as was our coach, who listened attentively and provided practical tools and support relevant to our daughter's immediate needs.

I have been working with beyond booksmart for about 2 months now and already see so many improvements. I used to think I was hopess and doomed to be this way and that I was too old to change but I was completely wrong. I am seeing change and have so much hope and momentum to keep going.
My coach is perfect for me. BBS did a great job of screening me to determine what coach would be best for me. The communication is wonderful. I am so glad I did this. I have even been able to use some of the things I am learning to help my children with their struggles.
BBS has been well worth the cost

The entire process of being matched through to meeting with the coach is wonderful. All steps were clearly articulated and my coach has been incredible in helping me identify my blind spots and creating systems for me to build on small victories. Highly recommend for neuro divergent individuals looking to find systems that improve everyday life!

The coach and staff are great. Very happy!

They are very organized and professional

My son’s coach is wonderful. He respects her very much she meets him where he is at and he appreciates this. He is fully invested and making good progress after just a few sessions.

At 13, our son was in Middle School and not doing well. His teachers would inform us immediately before he was going to fail assignments or classes, about which he had known for weeks or months, and it would be a mad scramble to get them done. Between a couple of different learning management systems in place at his school, we were so confused about work that was due and the deadlines and whether he had done it. We were truly concerned about him being held back and not making it to High School, not due to not being smart enough but due to not being able to manage the workload. We finally reached a level of frustration that we signed up for Beyond BookSmart. He went through a virtual 4-month program that provided him very specific tools as well as as a safe space. Fast-forward 2 years, our son is a Sophomore in high school, and has completely turned around. His grades are the other end of the spectrum now, and he just received an award (2nd year in a row). Here is a quote from the award certificate: "... comes to class prepared to learn, is inquisitive about the content, and grasps the higher-level concepts presented in class. He has an extremely bright future in mathematics and computer science." It goes on to say: "He helps to make (his) High School one of the elite high schools in the State of Texas!". I found out about Beyond BookSmart accidentally, and will forever be in debt of my friend who introduced me to this wonderful organization. Thank you!

Nikenya is an amazing coach. She holds the space with warmth, clarity, honesty, understanding, and strength, so it feels very safe. As a coach myself, I was wowed by her technique. Even after one week of coaching with Nikenya I was becoming more confident, less reactive, and happier. It's been about four weeks now, and I feel so lucky to be able to see her each week. Thank you!!

I was well-matched with a coach and proud to see myself practicing the techniques in real situations.

Our son is new to BBS and his coach has been supportive, innovative in her approach to trying to help him achieve higher executive function, and communicative both to him and to us as parents. We hope this new level of support will allow our son to figure out how to become self-reliant academically and otherwise.

Our son has been matched with a great coach. They did a wonderful job connecting him with an individual he could relate to. My son has made good progress which has improved his self confidence in the academic arena.

My coach Kelsey has helped me to stay on task with a lot of stuff! I appreciate her!

Trevor was very supportive and gave me great advice. It was very nice to talk to someone who listened to my problems.

My son enjoys his weekly sessions with his couch.

My EF coach is amazing! I really enjoy working with her.

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.

My beyond booksmart coach has worked with me for the I think roughly 5 or 6 months in total. Jackie is a great coach, has lots of suggestions, and is always super helpful!!

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.
