About D'Arcy
Testimonials
Christine R.
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....

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.

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.

I was privileged to have Ms. D'Arcy Vanderpool as my personal and executive coach... I initially "met" D'Arcy s a result of her accepting an invitation to speak to the virtual executive coaching class I was taking... I was simply so impressed with her uncommon openness, enviable centeredness and seemingly unlimited generosity that just radiated from her.
My wife and I were planning a vacation to Las Vegas so I contacted D'Arcy to request her to meet with us which she promptly and so graciously accepted. Out of that came my further request that D'Arcy be my executive coach. I found her to be motivating, caring, knowledgeable and just a delight to work with. D'Arcy's style is so engaging, non- threatening and yet powerfully effective. D'Arcy's expertise was readily apparent as she would not only assist me with getting in touch with my own resources, but also seemed to never lack for wonderfully creative and practical suggestions.

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.
