Helping students and families build confidence, independence, and success
Welcome to Katie Speetzen Family Consulting
Support that sticks. Coaching that clicks. For the whole family!
IF YOU'RE CONSTANTLY REMINDING YOUR CHILD TO START THEIR HOMEWORK… AGAIN…
If mornings feel more like a tactical mission than a peaceful routine…
If your once-happy family dinner now includes debates about late assignments, lost folders, and forgotten passwords—
You’re not alone.
Executive functioning challenges don’t just impact students—they affect the whole household. And when the after-school hours hit—when backpacks explode, activities overlap, dinner needs cooking, and homework looms—it’s enough to make even the most organized parent feel like they’re juggling flaming swords.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Katie Speetzen, a seasoned educator and concierge executive functioning coach who works with your whole family to build an environment where every person thrives. My approach is high-touch and highly personalized—because there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to real life.
Whether your student needs help with time management, your evenings need a reset, or you need fewer reminders and more peace of mind, I offer:
1:1 COACHING FOR STUDENTS THAT BUILDS CONFIDENCE, FOLLOW-THROUGH, AND INDEPENDENCE
PARENT COACHING THAT DIALS DOWN THE POWER STRUGGLES AND RAMPS UP COMMUNICATION
FAMILY SYSTEMS THAT FEEL DOABLE—NOT THEORETICAL
TOOLS AND ROUTINES THAT REDUCE STRESS AND BUILD LONG-TERM SUCCESS
The result? Mornings run smoother. Homework gets completed without a battle. Communication improves. And your home starts to feel more like a team and less like a battleground.
You’ll see your child grow more independent—and you’ll finally get to exhale.
Let’s build a calmer, more connected, and more confident home—together.
The Speetzen Family Story
Hi, I’m Katie! I am a National Board Certified Teacher with a Bachelor’s in History from Northwestern University, a Master’s in Education from DePaul University, and over 15 years of experience in education, coaching, and public speaking. I specialize in executive functioning and confidence coaching for students and their families, helping students build organization, time management, and self-advocacy skills.
With a background in stand-up comedy and motivational speaking, I incorporate humor and storytelling into my work, making learning an engaging and accessible experience. My mission is to help students and families develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
Most importantly, I’m a proud mom of two daughters who love to tutor others, dance, play the drums, participate in drama, play hockey, and dive into epic Dungeons & Dragons adventures. My husband also plays hockey (if we don’t keep up with our family systems, we trip over a lot of gear). When I have time, I love reading horror novels (why not?!), rocking out to the 90s alternative, attempting to work out (ha!), and spending time with our diva dog, Zelda.
How We Work Together
Let’s Start with a 30-Minute Discovery Call
Before we dive in, I want to understand your family’s strengths and support needs. That’s why I offer a 30-minute discovery call to determine the best support strategy for your family.
And how are you doing—really? When was the last time someone asked? How can I support you?
It all begins with our relationship. I love working with the whole family because your kids are an important part of the process. What brings them joy? What do they struggle with? Do they wish their siblings would finally help with the dishes instead of hiding in the bathroom after dinner? (My brother never did this. Okay, maybe he did.)
Let’s chat! Book your free 30-minute discovery call today.
