 Wednesday, October 12, 2005Welcome to Living in ExcellenceWelcome to Living In Excellence, a blog for helping you focus on creating excellence in your life. I am a personal and executive coach specializing in helping talented individuals and organizational teams live lives of excellence. Whether it is mastering your career or the daily activities you do, you will experience more happiness, satisfaction and well-being if you do it well. This site is dedicated to assisting you getting in the flow of your activities and creating more meaning in your life. We will also dedicate special attention to ideas that may develop more excellence in your relationships. I think a good place to start is to do little acts of kindness everyday. When you are thinking of others and giving to them, you have the opportunity to climb out of your self-absorption and share a little thoughtfulness and kindness with another. We have always been taught that it is better to give than to receive. So here is your opportunity to develop that part of your nature. It is through your giving that you get an extra dose of positive regard. When the receiver of your kindness accepts your gift, he or she is participating in a regard transaction and automatically sends back a positive regard exchange. It makes you feel good to see that you have made a positive difference in the experiential field of another. And that other begins to send it back to you. You are now receiving positive regard in two ways—through the other sending it and through your own experience of perceiving and receiving it. You are expanding your experiential field or the relationship with the other person. The reciprocal nature of positive regard is the connection of two souls. You are igniting the Light of the world and expanding it through your regard transaction. ACTION: Do a small act of kindness for someone else today. If you can, think of someone for whom you would like to do something and do it today. Secondly, look for an opportunity which spontaneously calls for an act of kindness and do it. This morning I took my sweetheart coffee and after talking a brief while helped him ease up so as to not stress the pain in his back. The look on his face of pain-free movement as he stood up was a gift of, “Thank you.” His smile gave to me. My smile gave back to him and the regard transaction went back and forth. We both felt loved… I hope you feel the love exchange as you do something thoughtful for another. Create excellence in your thoughtful day… Posted by D'Arcy Vanderpool on 10/12 at 10:06 AM

TESTIMONIALFrom 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
