Executive Performance Coaching
Neuroscience-backed executive coaching for high-performing professionals and the organizations that develop them. Research-rooted. Results-focused.
Research & Clinical Credentials
The Challenge
High performers often arrive at leadership roles through raw intelligence and relentless drive. Then the environment changes — more ambiguity, more stakeholders, more context-switching — and the compensatory strategies that worked stop working.
Most coaching addresses behaviors and mindsets. Few coaches understand the neurological substrate beneath those behaviors. The difference between telling someone to "be more organized" and helping them build systems that align with how their brain actually processes information is the difference between temporary compliance and lasting change.
Give Yourself Grace brings the rigor of peer-reviewed neuroscience research to executive coaching — methods validated at Emory, Duke, and UCSF, now applied to the specific pressures of leadership in the modern organization.
The Methodology
Every engagement follows a proven three-phase methodology grounded in executive function neuroscience — not intuition or generic coaching frameworks.
Services
Whether you're developing a single high-potential leader or building a culture of cognitive performance across your organization, there's an engagement model designed for your context.

A 90-minute facilitated session for your team. We cover the basics of executive function, how ADHD and EF challenges show up in the workplace, and evidence-backed strategies your managers can implement immediately. No clinical background required. Rated highly actionable by HR and Talent teams.
About
"I started as a consistent C student in high school — not from lack of effort, but from a mismatch between how I processed information and how learning was being delivered. Once I understood the neuroscience behind my own challenges, everything changed."
Frankie Grace Ghinger is an executive function coach, neuroscience researcher, and organizational speaker with a background most coaches simply don't have: peer-reviewed research published in Nature, Science, and Neuron, conducted at Duke University, UCSF, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
As a former MD/PhD candidate at Emory University School of Medicine, Frankie developed a deep understanding of the neurological systems that govern attention, working memory, planning, and impulse control — the same systems that determine whether a brilliant professional is thriving or quietly struggling.
After more than a decade tutoring and mentoring high-performing students and adults, Frankie brought that expertise into a clinical coaching context at Edwards Psychiatry, where she works directly with clients navigating ADHD and executive function challenges. She brings the same rigor to her coaching practice: no generic frameworks, no motivational platitudes — only evidence-based methods built for how each client's brain actually works.
Currently pursuing her MBA, Frankie applies the same lens to organizational contexts — understanding how companies can build systems and cultures that unlock the full potential of cognitively diverse teams, rather than expecting every employee to adapt to a one-size-fits-all structure.
Who This Is For
Coaching engagements are selective and limited. If you recognize yourself or your team below, we should talk.
Get in Touch
Every engagement begins with a 15-minute discovery call — no pitch, no obligation. We'll talk about what you're working toward, whether the fit makes sense, and what a program would look like in practice.
For corporate inquiries, proposals can typically be delivered within 5 business days of an initial call.
This form sends directly to Frankie. All inquiries are handled with discretion.
