Executive communication sounds scary 😬 but it's simpler than you think. Interestingly, the principles of a👌🏼TikTok video apply directly to how you communicate with senior leaders in your company. Here's why: 1️⃣Time efficiency: You’ve got about 15-30s in a TikTok video to communicate to someone that you’ve got something to share, that they need to listen to. Same for execs. You always have less time with them, so all your comms need to be waaaay more concise. 2️⃣ Context: Executives have a broad perspective. Their view is from a higher altitude. Connect *your* topic to *their* priorities and problems they’re trying to solve. ✨ Tips ✨ 👉🏼 Quickly establish what you’re actually talking about and why they should care. It’s called the “What” and “So What” (aka why is this important to them, what big thing does your update connect to). 👉🏼 Start with the conclusion (the key takeaway, the answer, the request you have of them). Don’t take them on a journey. They don’t need all the details (and they’re very good at asking if they do). Get right to the meat. 👉🏼 Start simple (practice explaining you’re thing like you would to a smart 12 yo). It’s counterintuitive (surely I need to sound as smart and complex as possible!) but remember, they’re across 20, 30, 40 different topics and problems at any time for the business. No one ever gets upset by simple, clear and human communication. 👉🏼 Know what your ask is. What do you actually want them to do? By when? Be specific. 👉🏼 Don’t be scared — it’s just a person who was young once too and good leaders will remember exactly how it feels to be in your shoes and be nervous. 👉🏼If they rush you or sound direct/short, they ‘re probably not trying to be rude. If you hear them saying “yup, yup, yup” (it’s called chirping) it might mean that they know what you're talking about and you have permission to get to the point / cut some of the details. #executivecommunication #leadership #careeradvice #communicationtips #businessskills #successtips #careergrowth #personaldevelopment #genz #youngprofessionals #earlycareer #corporategirl #careeradvice #communicationskills

Smart isn’t enough. Skills are the difference. Teach them early. Coach them often. #executivefunctioning #executivefunction #teenparenting #skillsforlife #grades

Did you know your child’s brain is still under construction? The part of the brain responsible for executive functioning—the ability to plan, organize, manage emotions, and follow through—won’t fully develop until their mid-20s. This means you are their external executive functioning system right now. You’re their planner, their guide, their coach. And that’s okay! They need you to model these skills and provide structure as their brain grows. It’s not that they won’t do something—it’s often that they can’t yet. Keep guiding them with patience. You’re building skills that will last a lifetime.

A lot of us are making New Year’s resolutions right now, so I wanted to share an evidence-based way of setting goals that actually works SMART goals are an effective way to turn intentions into actionable steps because they align with how our brains are wired to focus and stay motivated. Research has shown that clear and specific goals are easier to follow through on because they provide structure and reduce feelings of being overwhelmed. The prefrontal cortex becomes more engaged when we break a goal into smaller, achievable steps. This helps us stay organized and focused on what needs to be done Timeframes also play a big role. When we set deadlines, the brain treats the task with more urgency, which helps combat procrastination and keeps us accountable PS: The 2026 Digital Planner is out now 🫶🏽 comment ‘planner’ below and I’ll send you the link (it is also in my bio) I hope you find this helpful. Happy goal setting! Take care of your mind and body. Love, Nawal ♥️ #newyearsresolution #goalsetting #motivation #neuroscience #cognition

What do you struggle with at work? 💬🙃🙈 ADHD affects executive functioning skills, which are pretty much our cognitive abilities needed to achieve goals. Executive functioning refers to a set of mental processes and skills that helps you prioritize, plan, organize, and adapt to reach a goal.
