Daniel Koffler shares his journey into education and working with children, starting with his mother's career as a speech pathologist. He discusses how his parents built a school for children with special needs and expanded it to multiple locations. He then explains how New Frontiers, his coaching program, was born out of the need to support students with learning and mental health challenges in their transition to college and beyond. The program focuses on executive functions and individualized coaching to help students navigate academic, social, and emotional aspects of their lives. New Frontiers provides executive function coaching to both neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals. They primarily receive clients through word of mouth and referrals from professionals in the mental health and education fields. They also do online marketing and have a well-developed website to reach potential clients. The messaging for neurotypical clients focuses on universal challenges such as goal-directed behaviors and study skills. New Frontiers is working on establishing a certification program to provide recognition and standardization in the field of executive function coaching. They aim to serve 2000 clients per week in the next 7-10 years while maintaining a high level of personalized attention.
