Handout - Nuts and Bolts of Service Coor - Executive Skills Profile

Pdf Summary

The document is an "Executive Skills Profile" designed to help individuals understand and evaluate their executive functioning skills, which are essential for daily management and achieving personal goals. The profile assesses different components of these skills, such as planning and prioritization, time management, organization, task initiation, response inhibition, emotional control, sustained attention, stress tolerance, goal-directed persistence, working memory, metacognition, and flexibility.<br /><br />Users are instructed to rate themselves on a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree) across various statements related to these categories. This self-assessment helps individuals reflect on their abilities objectively. After rating themselves, users add up their scores in each section to identify their strengths and areas requiring improvement. The exercise is adapted from Peg Dawson and Richard Guare's work for application in employment and human service programs.<br /><br />The document also includes a summary section where individuals can record their highest and lowest scores, giving insight into personal strengths and development opportunities. The profile helps users develop a better understanding of which executive skills they perform well and which ones they may need to enhance to improve their proficiency in managing life's challenges and achieving goals effectively.
