 TestimonialsD'Arcy has been my personal coach for about 8 years and I have had a TREMENDOUSLY positive experience with her. Her professional expertise has assisted me GREATLY in both my personal and professional life. I recommend her most highly, and without reservations, whatsoever! Brad B. D'Arcy provided professional services as a coach to me for approximately one year. She provided insightful, valuable and very helpful coaching on a full range of issues from personal to professional development, organizational to individual improvement and technical to managerial enhancement. Ms. Vanderpool's coaching was also beneficial in facilitating the transition from one senior management position to another and in the development of an internal training program. Mike S. My experience with you has been extremely positive and productive. You are competent, caring and compassionate. I highly recommend you as a life coach. Darrin B. I haven't thanked you for all you contributed to our class. I have often reflected on your relaxed style that made it safe for these "seasoned" professionals to learn new material. I also appreciated the way you made all of us feel like we truly were part of somthing more solid than I could have imagined weekly phone calls would create. Again, thank you for the contributions you have made in my move into coaching. Renee F., PhD From the first time I heard D'Arcy speak I found her to be capitvating, knowledgeable and understanding. As my teacher and coach she helped me work through some of the difficulties and confusion surrounding my decisions as to what was most appropriate for my coaching business. She is a great listener and has a knack for pulling out what is best in me. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge stemming from professional and personal experiences which I believe only enhances who and what she is: a fine human being with much to offer. She has a unique way of blending her practical real-world sharpness with leading edge thinking while sharing ways for me to gain more control of my coaching business while balancing my personal life. She has a tremendously positive attitude and sincerely wants others to turn their dreams into reality. I highly recommend D'Arcy. Rosemarie M., MA,LMFT D'Arcy helped unlatch the lock which formerly held me in an unhappy and motionless life and career. Now, I've nearly completed my PhD, I've met the love of my life, and I am excited about growing older and experiencing the world with my eyes open! Mary Jo When I signed up for D'Arcy's class, "Foundation's of Coaching", I had no idea what kind of experience to expect. D'Arcy's warm welcome, fresh and astute ideas, organization of lecture material, and expert demonstration of coaching techniques, soon inspired me to participate in every class! Each class was uniquely fascinating and inspiring, and I knew that if I missed one, I would miss a lot! D'Arcy consistently handled our class's difficult questions on confidentiality, insurance, ethics, niche marketing, virtual groups, change processes, and so much more, with style and ease. I have always been impressed by her high standards, warm presence and deep focus. Her class far exceeded my expectations, and I feel that I owe her a debt of gratitude for inspiring me to learn so much! In a remarkable way, she taught me powerful coaching skills that I have used successfully to help real clients to move ahead with their life goals, to easily organize and conduct a virtual group, and most importantly to have my business underway! I am so proud of these personal achievements! I found D'Arcy's teaching, coaching and inspiration so important to my development as a life coach that as the Foundation's Class ended; I signed up with her for her next group. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have done so as she continues to inspire me toward my development of seminars, and the exploration of other coaching avenues. Sincerely, Thanks for making my participation for the class assignment such a pleasant, painless, and rewarding experience. There is definitely forward movement, which I am most grateful for. The assignments for this class have been crucial in helping me take forward steps in my career. With deepest gratitude, Thanks, D'Arcy, for the fun in our coaching class. It always amazes me how you think so quickly and can come up with unique ideas. Thanks, You did such a great job in leading the pod and going not an extra mile, but an extra 10 miles, in continuing to meet with us to further our development and learning. I really appreciate your dedication, professionalism, and just plain caring about us. It's been a pleasure getting to know you. D'Arcy, you have been a wonderful leader and facilitator. Thank you so much for all you have given us and particularly going way "above and beyond" the duties of the course. Philip R., Ph.D. You envision abundance and it is fulfilled! You exemplify that living in love, not in fear, abiding by strong principles, and giving to others begins to bring an abundant life. D'Arcy I cannot begin to tell you how influential you remain in my life even after much time has elapsed. I am presenting a workshop to a conference of Human Services Activities Professionals later this week. This would never be happening had it not been for your coaching and encouragement. The topic is "Motivation: Stoking the Inner Flame". I was hired for this while I attended a writer's workshop. Right after this another "job fell into my lap". It is still unbelievable to me how being positive and spiritual in life is the beginning of abundance. D'Arcy, thank you for all of your positive influence and counsel. I am positively grateful to have been part of your class and in your group. Thank you. You are phenomenal, visionary and a highest level expert in the coaching world! You have given me more than I can say. Sincerely, D'Arcy provided expert coaching and guidance in the area of my personal relationships, at a time when assistance was desperately needed. Her unique and multi-faceted approach ultimately empowered me to discover harmony in all relationships. Simultaneously, she magically inspired the search for self realization. Her presence was life changing... Lynn N. I have been most impressed with D'Arcy's ability to grow in a profession she has been in for many years. She is always looking for ways to improve the services she offers to others. She is an excellent coach, interacting with clients in a positive and supportive manner. She is professional, ethical, and compassionate. She is quite outstanding in her intuitive abilities and uses that to assist her clients in a powerful movement forward... She will continue to make significant contributions to coaching. Anne D. You are awesome. It is a pleasure and an honor to watch you teach and coach. I am in for the long haul with you and this awesome group!! Michelle F. You are amazing!! ... Thank you, D'Arcy, you were a STAR!! They loved you ... who wouldn't!! xo, I must say that D'Arcy was very attuned to my style, values, goals, etc. She is one of three coaches that I hired for myself... I found D'Arcy to be the most accepting, inspiring, and motivating. I found her to have high energy, a great sense of self, and success oriented. These were all of the qualities that I wanted in a personal coach. As a coach, I found D'Arcy to be intelligent, creative, with a good business sense. She consistently encouraged me to trust myself, my decisions and even my process with difficulties.

What I loved about working with D'Arcy was her unique intuitive ability. She was able to provide just the right combination of encouragement, emotional safety and inspiration that have enabled me to take risks that I thought were impossible. Jane F. D'Arcy and her team of coaches provided services to our agency...of approximately 115 employees... (when we merged from two agencies) for approximately 15 months... The services provided consisted of individual executive coaching for the department's management team and also included monthly training sessions for the entire group... I was certain that our employees would experience an adjustment process, which inherently comes with any major organizational culture change. Similarly, I knew that without access to, and understanding of, the tools available to our employees to effectively deal with such change, the merger would be, at worst, a disaster, and at best, the creation of a mediocre agency, ill equipped to adequately serve the public. Ms. Vanderpool and her team certainly had a daunting task placed before them... They were asked to take a group of individuals (many of whom would transition out, and others in, during the process -- not making their jobs any easier) who had little or no management training, and were coming from an under funded, understaffed, and under managed organization, and create a cohesive, innovative, respected, professional management team. No doubt adding to the challenge -- my expectations were high. D'Arcy served as my personal coach. From an individual perspective, I can say that D'Arcy served as both a sounding board (which is often difficult to access as the leader of an organization) and a prompter of thought, without providing unsolicited advice, which I both respect and appreciate. My personal experience was certainly a positive one. From a broader perspective, my expectations were met, as well. I could write volumes concerning the experiences of our team over the past year, but I will not. I will say that when I now use the word "team" to refer to our group, I use it truly in the manner with which it was intended and I also include D'Arcy and her colleagues as part of that team. It would be misleading to suggest that there have not been many challenges and hurdles along the way. If our organization, both as individuals and as a team, did not experience these challenges, I would question the need for the kind of coaching I was seeking for our management team in the first place. That said, we have grown as a management team by orders of magnitude over the past year, and I do not hesitate to suggest that that is, in part, due to the efforts of Ms. Vanderpool and her colleagues. In fact, I will be placing a contract renewal before our elected board for consideration.... Christine Robinson, Director D'Arcy is a fabulous coach and facilitator - warm, soulful and inspiring. She has a deep vision and great gift for helping others build meaningful personal and business lives. Carol S., PhD I know you are an excellent trainer, but I didn't know about everything else you do. It was delightful to read about you in Ben Dean's newsletter this week. We are blessed to have you as our instructor. With warm regards, |
