Coaching and Living From a Place of Intuition – Living a natural spontaneous life

Aug 4, 2023

By Mac Dryden, ACC, BS

As coaches and human beings we rarely need the overcomplicated stories and ideas that we’ve been taught. We each have access to our innate, intuitive genius in each moment when we tap in. If you look, you will see all babies and animals have this innate, intuitive genius guiding and supporting their lives.

As educated adults, we too have the natural, inner guidance which is always present, giving us what we need in every moment -if we would but listen!

As I write this I notice my cat walking to the screen door, suddenly he pauses mid stride with one paw raised ears rotating, listening. The rest of his body motionless, silent, the spontaneity of the moment catching his attention. I too am caught in this moment of wonder. Staring. After a moment of listening he begins moving and is ready to go outside. This spontaneous discovery of the moment is what intuitive living and coaching is all about.

To be spontaneous we must drop our old ideas, and arrive into this now. From this now we discover our current self, our current reality, and can actually respond to our current desires and needs. What does this moment say to you? What do you need to know in this moment? What needs to be said in this moment?

In the not knowing, the knowing that is relevant is known.

When we remember these elegantly simple things about ourselves, and our universe something happens to our minds and bodies. We get to be who we innately are once again, and all that stuff we were wrapped up in before falls away like old leaves in the wind as we return to the trunk of our inner being.

So come join me for this Monday’s monthly Mindfulness Coaching Call where I will be offering some simple tools and ideas that support you in living a life of intuitive guidance and joy.

The course brought me from being very anxious about the business aspect of coaching to gaining the confidence necessary to take care of this very important aspect of a coaching business. I have gained the necessary skills, made contacts with people who could help me with certain aspects of setting up my business and I even caught a glimpse of the possibility that business part can be fun and a great way for learning new skills. So inner business alchemy definitely happened for me, for which I am feeling extremely grateful to my instructor and all my classmates.

Ann-Marie is the most insightful and gifted teacher and coach. She is the epitome of a Compassionate Warrior… She will guide you with a gentle touch and she will hold you in the highest version of yourself so she is brave when “going in” to guide you. I highly recommend any course she teaches.

Another wonderful course with Ann-Marie. Learning about and implementing aspects of Positive Psychology, Signature Strengths and the Wheel of Life are valuable tools both for self-growth and helping others achieve their goals. Wonderful coaching sessions and discussions in a warm, comfortable and engaging setting.

I enjoyed the process of learning new skills every week and having many opportunities to practice the skills. [Skillful Means: The Coaching Skill Set] accelerated my readiness to get out there and start coaching!

Mindfulness appears in many forms these days. In The Art of Engaged Mindfulness Ann-Marie takes us on an exploration of wisdom, understanding and practice, which nurtures the depth of our engagement with this powerful way of living.

Skillful Means: The Coaching Skill Set was essential to building my toolbox as a coach. I feel that my range of skills have broadened and that my clients can be served much better.
Dariana MoreiraStudent CoachRedondo Beach, CA
I was reluctant to take this course [Mindful Eating: Mindful Life] as I have struggled with eating disorders since my teens. I didn’t want yet another “eating plan” that would add more clutter to my already busy thoughts about food. I honestly only took the class because it was required for PCC and I came in thinking that maybe I could learn something to help my clients. But honestly, I learned a ton about myself, my thoughts about food and eating, as well as many tools and ideas to use with my clients.
Chelle JohnsonStudent CoachAlbany, Oregon
This class is a terrific investigation of the ways that mindfulness and meditation can support both the coach and client, with specific practices, tips for consistency, and scientific evidence all explored. I learned new skills for leading meditation class, supporting client well being, and deepening my own meditation practice.
