See how your brain actually works

New: completely rewritten

The Executive Function Strength Profile is a deep, personal reading of how your brain works, written in words rather than scores. For business owners, professionals, and anyone leading a demanding life with ADHD or AuDHD.

You probably already know which parts of your life come easily and which feel like swimming against the tide. You can plan a complex trip but not next Tuesday. You hold a big idea in your head while losing your phone three times before lunch. You can write a long, detailed report but never quite get round to a birthday card.

That is not a character flaw. It is a pattern in how your brain manages attention, memory, planning, emotion and action.

The Executive Function Strength Profile makes that pattern visible. Once you can see which skills are quietly carrying you, which ones are costing you the most right now, and how they all work together, the things that have always confused you start to make sense.


What you receive

This is not a quiz result. Your profile is a genuinely personal written report, built entirely from your own answers, and it reads like it was written for you, because it was.

Your report includes:

  • Your story. An honest account of the whole picture, with your strengths first, on purpose, because they are the ground everything else stands on
  • Every skill, read at its own level. Each of your fourteen skills described in plain words, from a real strength to asking a lot of you right now, with strategies chosen for that level rather than generic tips
  • How your skills play together. The patterns that explain why some days flow and others fall apart, and why one stretched skill can pull on the rest
  • How it shows up in everyday life. What your picture means at work, at home, and in your relationships
  • A personal plan. Where to begin, why there, and the first small move for each area that is asking the most of you
  • A keepsake copy. The full report arrives in your inbox the moment you finish, and a print-friendly version is yours to keep or share with someone who supports you

The fourteen skills, grouped into the five areas your profile reads:

Activation & Follow-Through
Task Initiation, Goal Persistence, Effort Regulation
Focus & Attention
Sustained Attention, Working Memory, Self-Monitoring
Planning & Organisation
Planning, Organisation, Time Awareness
Adaptability
Cognitive Flexibility, Task Switching
Self-Management
Emotional Regulation, Response Control, Stress Management

How it works

Your profile unfolds in five chapters, one for each area, asking ten questions about each of the fourteen skills. That makes it a proper sitting rather than a quick quiz, and the depth is exactly what makes your reading worth having.

Everything saves as you go. Stop at the end of a chapter, or mid-question, close the laptop, and carry on tomorrow on your phone. It will be exactly as you left it whenever you return. There are no right or wrong answers, and nothing here is a test.

And your report is yours to keep, for ever. Executive function moves with the seasons of your life, so come back in a few months and take it again. Your profile will show you what has shifted and what has held steady, side by side, in plain words. That comparison is something no one-off quiz can give you.

Why words, not scores

Most assessments hand you a chart and a set of numbers, then leave you to work out what they mean. Your profile never does. There are no marks, no totals, and nothing to decode, just each skill described honestly, in words, at the level it is actually at.

That is a kinder way to be read, and a more useful one. A score can tell you that something is hard. It cannot tell you what that hardness feels like, why it is costing you so much, or what would genuinely help. Words can, and they meet you where you are rather than grading you.

Numbers are also hard work for plenty of brilliant brains. Nothing in your profile will ever ask you to compare a figure or read a chart.

Who it is for

People who get the most from the Executive Function Strength Profile tend to be:

  • Adults with ADHD or AuDHD who want a genuinely detailed view of how their brain works day to day
  • Business owners and professionals in demanding careers who want to work with their brain rather than against it
  • Adults exploring whether ADHD or AuDHD might explain longstanding patterns, with or without a formal diagnosis
  • Adults moving through burnout, illness, perimenopause, grief, or any season that has changed how their brain feels
  • Anyone who wants language for what they have always sensed about their own brain

It works equally well as a standalone self-knowledge exercise, preparation for coaching, or something to share with the people close to you.

Why you can trust it

The profile is built on three of the most established executive function models in the field, and covers every executive skill they identify, including the full effort cluster that most assessments leave out. Every question and every line of your report is written in my own words, from coaching adults with ADHD and AuDHD since 2000.

“Over the past year, my ADHD coaching journey has been both insightful and empowering. It has helped me better understand how my neurodivergent traits show up in daily life and has equipped me with practical tools and strategies to support focus, productivity, and self-awareness.”

Frequently asked questions

Click on a question to reveal the answer.

How long does it take?

It is a proper sitting, a little over half an hour for most people. There is no need to do it in one go. The five chapters each offer a natural resting point, everything saves as you tap it, and your profile will wait for you for as long as you need.

Can I stop and come back later?

Yes, at any moment. When you buy, your own account is created with your email address, and every answer saves to it the instant you give it. Close the page mid-chapter, come back next week on a different device, sign in with your email address, and you will land exactly where you left off. Your welcome email also carries a one-click way back in. The same sign-in is how you come back to retake the Profile across your two years.

What happens after I buy?

You go straight to your profile, already signed in, with nothing to set up. Buying creates your own account with your email address, and signing in with it is what brings you back to your profile on any device. A welcome email also lands in your inbox with a one-click link, in case you would rather start later. When you finish, your full report appears on screen and a copy arrives by email, yours to keep.

Is this a diagnosis?

No. Your profile is a self-report picture drawn from your own answers, not a clinical assessment and not a diagnosis. You do not need a diagnosis, or ADHD at all, to take it and find it useful. If you are exploring a formal diagnosis, that is a conversation for a qualified professional.

How does the coaching credit work?

Simply. If you own the Executive Function Strength Profile and later join one of my private coaching programmes, the full £69 comes off your first payment. There is nothing to claim and no voucher to find, your profile account is all the proof needed. The credit applies to privately funded coaching programmes rather than single sessions or Access to Work funded coaching.

Can I retake it?

Yes, as often as you like for two full years, included in the one payment. Your profile is a picture of a season, not a fixed verdict, so my suggestion is to leave it a few months between retakes. Each retake gives you a fresh dated report, and a then and now view shows what has shifted and what has held steady, in words.

What if I am not ready to buy?

Then start with the free taster, How Your Brain Works, your Executive Function Snapshot. It reads the same five areas with a couple of questions each and gives you a warm first sketch in a few minutes. If the sketch leaves you wanting the full portrait, the Executive Function Strength Profile will be here.

You have spent years working out how your brain feels.
