In the small and big moments of life, we all need ways to navigate toward positivity and hope...
To learn what we are capable of,
To find our inner joy and preserve it,
To be kinder to ourselves,
To discover our power and use it.
Intentionality Coaching is a transformative experience that helps you tap into the ability you already possess to experience greater joy, get to know yourself better, and live life your way.
Hi, I’m Ann.
I’ve been practicing the art of intentionality since my teens. During a difficult time, I made a commitment to myself that I’d do everything I could to create the life I desired once I was grown.
I knew in my bones that my intention was the fuel that would help me create the bright future I wanted. I was right.
Decades later, I’m still a practitioner, fully committed to the art of intentionality and the undeniable role it plays in cultivating a joyful, fulfilling life. I welcome the opportunity to help you experience for yourself “where intention goes, energy flows.”®
Intentionality Coaching with Ann Drew Yu is:
• A 1:1 coaching experience. Working together, I help you accelerate progress on your dreams and cultivate an intentionality mindset.
• A dedicated partnership. We begin with a six-session commitment delivered via Zoom, held weekly or every-other-week. The first session is 90-minutes, and all other sessions are 60-minutes. After the initial six sessions, we work together to customize a plan for future sessions that best suits your needs and preferences for ongoing support and growth.
• A customized process. In each session, you are listened to deeply, met exactly where you’re at, and trusted as the expert on your own life. As it serves you, I ask powerful questions, guide you through illuminating exercises; teach you positivity skills to practice between sessions; and offer gentle accountability — all while celebrating your growth.
• A journey of self-discovery. As you advance your dreams, I guide you to notice your current beliefs and thought patterns, invite you to experiment with new thought patterns, and nurture your self-discovery as you practice my Intentionality Framework and grow a new mindset.
In your 20s, there’s a lot of uncertainty…
You have to make a lot of decisions that will influence where you end up in life. Ann helped me access wisdom and insights within myself that surprised me. Through the process, I gained a feeling of confidence in myself and clarity on an important issue.

Intentionality Coaching is for you if:
• You have a dream you’re ready to move forward.
• You’re ready for a change - a new way of showing up for your life that’s present, positive, and open.
• You crave the mental space to identify and prioritize the things that truly matter to you.
• You’re in a major transition and want to stay grounded and positive as you move through it.
I can help.
Ann’s ability to pull out what’s relevant, ask penetrating questions, and mirror back what’s working leaves me feeling empowered.
~ Kim, Professional Facilitator
Ann’s Intentionality Framework is …
• A proven, six-step methodology I developed over years of working with a diverse range of participants, resulting in a distilled, joyful process with high impact. In your first session, I give you an overview of the framework. In subsequent sessions, we integrate and practice it organically, in service of your larger vision.
• An elegantly simple methodology that fits into your life without adding more to your to-do list.
• A unique hybrid of disciplines. The Intentionality Framework draws upon neuroscience, positive psychology, and Eastern philosophy. You can start to practice the framework and related skills immediately in all aspects of your life and experience benefits.
I was in-between jobs and taking this opportunity to rethink my future.
I needed help moving forward, and I knew this kind of regular effort would be good for me. My experience with Ann was enlightening and uplifting. The intentions I set for myself, with Ann’s guidance, resulted in shifts that put me on a good path. Ann’s appreciative inquiry and feedback were wonderful. I intend to continue these habits for a long time. ~ Diane, Librarian

I wanted more fun in my life …
but was convinced I didn’t have time for it. Ann helped me discover it wasn’t a question of time, it was a matter of mindset. Over the course of our sessions, I began to understand what an intentional mindset is. Now, in everyday situations, I’m able to find positivity and fun in places I didn’t think possible.
If you have the courage to help yourself through life coaching, I highly recommend Ann Drew Yu.

FAQs
How do I know if coaching is for me?
One of the first things I teach my clients is to listen for signs of “yes” within their body. When you think about having a coach, do you feel a spark of energy and hope? Do your shoulders relax at the thought of having a trusted partner? Alternatively, do you feel nervous by the prospect of leaning in and committing to your dreams and growth? All of these reactions suggest coaching might be for you. If you’re at all curious, I encourage you to schedule a 30-minute complimentary session with me. You’ll get a taste of coaching, and we can become acquainted. It’s low stakes, enjoyable, and there’s no obligation.
I’m nervous. I’ve never done anything like this before.
I get it. That’s a completely normal reaction, and we don’t talk about growth edges like this enough. Trying something new that asks you to be honest and vulnerable is an unpracticed skill for most of us. Please know that my main objective is to create a safe, trusting environment for you and to customize my approach to suit your personality and needs.
Do you offer scholarships?
Yes. Scholarships for a six-session series are available for individuals working in social justice, youth development, and public service. Please contact me to learn more.
