About Iyrit Alexenberg:  My professional work coaching women has been enriched by my volunteering as both a birthing and nursing coach.  I was married for 30 years and gave birth to four children, adopted a fifth, and became a grandmother.  My husband left me for his secretary.   Following my divorce, I entered upon a journey of self-realization.  After investing 30 years in others, I gained the freedom to discover me as I traveled from Israel to America and from Europe to India.  In each place, I connected with women who helped me gain new insights into my place in the sisterhood of women. During my three year quest for self-discovery, values clarification, envisioning a future of my choice, and recognizing the qualities I sought in a life partner.  I met my soul mate and remarried.  

My appreciation of women's special needs and understanding of how they can be empowered were deepened through my volunteer work coaching women at Ruach Nashit and at Emunah College. I graduated from pioneering programs in coaching at Bar Ilan University where I now supervises students who are studying to be coaches.

Testimonials

Dear Iyrit

I was privileged to experience the most meaningful process of my life that brought me to places that I had never dreamed I would reach

I came to you at the beginning of the year when I had already contemplating leaving the college to return home in order to help there.  I was depressed and lacked the courage to express it.  I did not understand why God was putting me through this trial and why it was so difficult for me.  Now, I understand that through these difficulties I was able to grow, blossom and change. In essence, I was able to break out of the cycle in which I was raised

Our first meetings energized and empowered me for the whole week.  As I continued our coaching sessions, I had learned tools to empower myself.  My sessions with you were the most important part of my life.  I anticipated them impatiently since they gave me such encouragement and renewed strength 

Through the coaching process that started in a place where I couldn’t even see a bit of light, suddenly all became illuminated.  In all areas of my life things began to work out for the good.  I honestly finally felt happy

Thanks is too small a word to express my appreciation for your accompanying me through this whole process

In high esteem

Coaching to Cope with ADD

Find Your Focus

Managing your ADD successfully

My training as an ADD coach and my teaching background gives me the unique ability to provide tools for you, an ambitious person, to overcome struggles that hold you back from achieving your goals. Whether you have been diagnosed with ADD or not, as an ADD coach I am equipped to help you overcome disorganization, procrastination, indecisiveness, forgetfulness, chronic lateness, moodiness, inconsistency and feelings of being overwhelmed.

A New Approach
ADD coaching is a relatively new approach for the treatment of ADD, but it has been proven as one of the best ways to help people with ADD improve their life.  Coaching will help you achieve a creative breakthrough towards reaching your ultimate goal.   You will develop strategies to overcome the challenges of everyday life so you can concentrate on realizing your potential.  These strategies will be based upon your core values that are your source of true power in driving and sustaining you.

Through coaching, you will recognize self-imposed obstacles that inhibit dealing with things you dislike doing, that bore you and that distract you. These behaviors make it difficult to live and operate in a world designed for people without ADD.

Ask yourself these questions.  If you answer "yes" to any of them, you need coaching.

Do you feel deep down that you are capable of so much more than what you have been achieving?

Do find that you can not get started on the path to realizing your goals and dreams?

Do you have lots of great ideas, but rarely get them off the ground?

Do you have problems getting organized?

Do you continually lose items such as car keys and important documents?

Do you struggle with everyday life, organizing your time, missing appointments and meetings?

Do you have difficulty communicating with others and often feel misunderstood?

Do you trouble focusing on what needs to be done and are easily distracted?

Do you find it difficult to find balance between the multiple demands of you personal and professional life? 

 Coaching with ADD clients work with them to understand ADD and learn how to deal with everyday challenges.
Identifying strengths and weaknesses.
Learning time managment.
Leaning organizational skills.
Modify behavior towards success.

What is Behavior Therapy or Behavior Modification?
The ADD coach creates a program that modifies and changes unwanted behavior by means of awareness, reinforcement and conditioning.

An ADD Modification Program includes the following steps:
Understanding ADD, recognizing weaknesses and how it affects the client's life, such as,
Distractibilty, Concentration, Restlessness, Impatience, Impulsiveness, Hyperactivity,
Disorganization and Difficulty following rules.

Recognizing and Identifing strengths, abilities, attributes and the gifts of ADD, such as,
Creativity, Empathy, Leadership skills, High intelligence, Special talents (art, music, science),
Intuitiveness, Talents for entertaining, High motivation and Intense focus in areas of interest.

The goal is to both strengthen ADD gifts and modify unwanted behavior.
Once the strengths and weaknesses have been identified the following issues are assessed:
Which behaviors are desired?
Are these behaviors observable and measured?
What reinforces these behaviors?
When are the reinforcements applied?
What are the consequences?
How can a reinforcement pattern be improved?
Based on the answers to the above questions, a behavior modification program includes the following steps:

Targeting specific behaviors:
Analyzing causes of existing behaviors or barriers to new behavior
Setting explicit goals (concrete measurable goals)
Learning to change thought patterns and behaviors

You met with the students with diligence and dedication every week.  You lead them towards organizing their personal and social lives in such areas as time management and eating and sleeping habits.  You helped them deal with personal problems at a stormy period in their lives

With your welcomed aid, they all progressed, focused on their studies, and succeeded in areas where they had previously failed.  They expressed their feelings of progress in solving their problems and alleviating their distress through the empowerment and motivation to succeed that they gained from your coaching

Coaching Olim for Successful Klita

Theodore Herzl's vision: If there's a will, there's a way

Aliyah is a major transition in life. 
Working at the leading edge of the new profession of coaching, I empower people to meet transitions in their lives with renewed energy.   I guide olim in identifying and clarifying their goals and purposes.  Through the process of coaching, I offer them tools for developing a plan of action for realizing a meaningful future.  I encourage olim I coach to explore creative ways to realize their potential in achieving success and fulfillment in Israel.

As an olah born in New York who made aliyah 25 years ago and has successfully been through this transition with my husband and children, I am skilled in listening, understanding and supporting olim during their journey.  I can help olim not only cope with the big challenges in their lives but with managing the little issues of living in a different place.  Coaching can aid olim in designing and organizing space in their new home and managing their time.

As an educational coach and former teacher in the Israeli school system, I can coach parents in choosing the appropriate schools for their children and helping their children succeed in their new learning environment.  I can coach teenagers in navigating the complexities of Israel's schools, gaining tools for academic success, understanding the demands of the bagrut, and meeting the challenges of making new friends.

About Iyrit Alexenberg:  I have been coaching individuals, couples and families, students at Bar Ilan University and Emunah College, and women in distress at Ruach Nashit to create authentic transformations in their lives toward realizing their goals.  I graduated from the pioneering programs in life coaching and educational coaching at Bar Ilan University.  At the Adler Institute, I studied methods for counseling parents in coping with everyday challenges of educating their children.  I have many years experience in Israel as a high school teacher and a teacher of children with learning disabilities.
