Helping Students Step Into Their Next Era

Hi! I’m Stephanie Bayona, founder of Next Era Executive Function Coaching. I work with middle, high school, and college students who may struggle with time management, task initiation, planning, organization, study skills, and follow through.

I believe that when students have the right tools, strategies, and support to meet their unique needs, they can thrive both in school and in life. I know that being capable and being able to consistently show what you know are not always the same thing.

I’m a proud Florida International University graduate, where I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Education. With more than 15 years of classroom experience, I’ve seen firsthand how executive function challenges can impact a student’s academic success and confidence. As an executive function coach for the last 5 years, I’ve also seen how the right strategies, support, and encouragement can help students recognize their strengths and thrive.

My focus is on progress over perfection, practical strategies over quick fixes, and helping students become increasingly independent. My goal is not simply to help a student get through the next assignment or semester. It’s to help them develop skills, self-awareness, and confidence that they can carry with them into college, work, and adulthood.

Your next era starts with one step.

What’s Included

Session rate: $100/hour

  • Your goals. Your challenges. Your next steps. Weekly virtual 45-minute coaching sessions provide a consistent, supportive space for students to work through current challenges, build executive function skills, and create strategies that fit their unique needs.

  • Progress happens between sessions, too. Throughout the week, I provide accountability check-ins to help students follow through on their action steps and apply the strategies we develop.

  • Parents are an important part of the coaching process. I provide session notes and regular progress check-ins to keep parents informed about their student’s goals, strategies, and growth while still giving students the space to develop independence and ownership.
