As a result of taking this class (Skillful Means), I have newfound confidence about my ability to coach and a greater appreciation for the experience of being coached. The structure of breaking down the 26 Core Competencies into eight classes was perfect for honing my skills and learning to dance in the moment.  

Co-Active Communication is about listening with our whole beings. This class is about more than communication… it is about being in the world fully alive! Thank you!  

I’m very happy and grateful for participating The Dynamic Trio. I now have the knowledge and experience of coaching with additional dimensions – EMDR and positive psychology work amazingly well together – while discovering people’s needs and problems and finding also solutions. I loved the holistic – body, mind, feelings considering approach of coaching, this was just what I was looking for (moving the focus and energy from head to body cognition)! I want to thank everyone who participated in…

I thoroughly enjoyed The Art of Engaged Mindfulness… The format of the course enabled me to learn about the impact of meditation and therefore choose to fit more meditation into my lifestyle. Through the class, I expanded my knowledge of meditation and mindfulness, strengthened my practice, and met some great people. Special thanks to Ann-Marie, who shared her enormously rich insights, experience, and tools to help us become more effective in minding our mind.

Working with Ann Marie McKelvey is a transforming experience! She has coached me through different aspects of Life, from launching a successful coaching career to building my own wellness internally. Ann Marie has gifts that she shares with those around her to help them be their best possible selves and reach their goals. She does this through listening deeply, asking the right questions and role modeling at the same time! I feel so blessed to have her as my coach!

I loved the experiential nature of this class (The Dynamic Trio). I know that the applications being taught can help someone experience powerful breakthroughs… because I experienced powerful breakthroughs!  

The Art of Engaged Mindfulness provides a wealth of knowledge, tools and resources, which are directly applicable to coaching individuals or groups!

Co-Active Communication was one of the best classes I’ve ever taken. I learned how to notice negative beliefs/stories, deal with them, and integrate new stories/beliefs into my life. A second major breakthrough was learning how to communicate in a compassionate way, on a deep level. Listening to peoples’ needs, in a respectful, non-judgmental way is a big part of the journey to resolving conflicts. The second part of this process is creatively figuring solutions to get these needs met.  

Ann Marie’s gentle teaching style and complete absence of judgement in The Art of Mindfulness was just what this stressed out lapsed meditator needed! Thanks to her skillful instruction, I now have a mindfulness practice that is so right for me it very quickly and naturally became part of the fabric of my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more interesting and loving group of fellow students with whom to share it with. Truly life changing.

 

This class woke me up to such incredible insight about willpower and coaching. The instructor (Kelly Gupta, MD) says, “All coaching is wellness coaching!” He’s right. I learned many strategies to use in coaching, and for my personal growth. In fact, through this new confidence, I’m going to lead a willpower workshop! I now have many tools to lead workshops, help clients, and work on my goals. This class is transforming. I guarantee you’ll grow from it.
