  • Gifts from Spiritual Divorce Coaching
    November 13, 2008

    Spiritual Divorce was one of the best coaching experiences of my life. I separated from my ex-wife a year a half ago and, needless to say, was lost on how to start my life over again. Anxiety, fear and anger were daily themes for me.

    Throughout the coaching process, my anxiety and fear started to subside. The best gift I received from Spiritual Divorce was letting go of my anger which allowed me to get to know myself all over again. I saw that fear and anger mask a lot of other things and when you see that you are given the choice to do something different.

    Out of the coaching my ex-wife and I are still friends and we left the relationship without any ill will, and have compassion towards each other. I am doing things that I have always wanted to do and having more fun that I have in a long time. I feel like a kid again.

    Thank you, Darby, for your contribution to my life.

  • Darby lights the way while you’re walking the path!
    September 12, 2008

    I have twice done Integrative Coaching with Darby Barclay. The results have reached far beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I produced the results I set out to produce, and the path was one I was not expecting at all.

    The first time through I said I wanted to create an amazing relationship with the boyfriend I was with. What I discovered from searching my heart in our coaching was that I was in a relationship that did not support me, I wasn't loved or honored in the way I really wanted to be. In fact, I discovered this was a pattern in my life. Through Darby’s coaching I found the courage within myself to admit that, to do the work of loving that part of myself, and the courage to end the relationship so I could heal and open up to an amazing relationship.

    I changed careers and tried something completely new for a year and from that I discovered what I'm truly passionate about, where my talents truly are and I'm in the process of obtaining that.

    In my second time of Coaching with Darby I was single. I met and I fell in love with the most amazing man! I was not looking for a relationship when I first me him, and everything about our relationship is a miracle. When he asked me out, I said, “no”. I told him I was not interested in a relationship or dating. The following day, after checking in with myself, I chose to go on the date, to trust we met for a reason; whatever that was, and just have fun. It’s completely blossomed from that day.

    I also took responsibility for what I had tolerated in my previous relationships and how I had sold out on myself and what I really wanted and deserved. I have experienced power, confidence and self worth for the first time in this new relationship. I no longer doubt my worthiness. This man loves that about me, he honors and respects me. As Darby has said, “ my ceiling became my floor”; meaning what I used to reach for is now here, it’s now the foundation I stand on and I won’t allow for anything less, and yet so much more.

    On top of all this I have chosen to move out of state to start a brand new chapter of my life with the man I love. I’m excited about the adventure of moving and creating new friendships, a new community, and new career.

    If you’re considering coaching with Darby, just do it! Darby is an amazing man whose God given talent is to coach you, teach you and support you. You will feel heard and understood as never before. No matter what it is you’re up to in life – if you’re willing to do the work – it will happen. Just be willing to have it all!!! Darby lights the way while you’re walking the path!

  • A Coach Who Will Be a Stand for Your Greatness and Success
    June 3, 2005

    I met Darby Barclay in a life-training program where I committed one year of my life to being rigorously trained in creating an extraordinary life. Darby had already completed 2 years of his life to the training and was, of course, naturally, coaching participants in the program. Darby and I became friends, as well.

    I am writing this as a personal recommendation for Darby’s skills. If you are looking for someone who will let you slide by and play small, don’t choose Darby. If you looking for a coach who will be a stand for your greatness and success, be authentically involved in your personal transformation and be straight with you in the most loving way, choose Darby.

    Personally, Darby has contributed to my life in countless ways, by gently pointing out where I was playing small and didn’t know it. I have met my fiancée because of Darby. You can count on him to see things you cannot and he will always tell the truth. In other words, he is trained thoroughly in listening for things that are not being said as well as those that are. Knowing what to say, and how to say it, such that it makes a difference in your in your life and what you see as possible.

    If you are seriously committed to being coached by a Standout Leader who has an equal balance of craft and commitment I most heartedly cannot recommend anyone else than Darby Barclay.

  • Strength, Character and Leadership
    April 26, 2005

    It is with great honor and joy that I write this letter for my coach, Darby Barclay. I have known and worked with Darby for over four years. He has continually demonstrated strength, character and leadership in our coaching relationship and embodies this work. I would not have the Life I have today without his continued support and guidance.

    Darby has coached me as the CEO and President of Pacific Blue Investments (PBI) since the summer of 2003. Through Darby’s insight and direction, I have developed and expanded my small real estate investment business into the nationally recognized company that is known as being an expert in the field of investment real estate.
    In the past two years, PBI has grown in exponential measures that have included a published book “The Real Guide to Making Millions in Real Estate Investing”, Numerous TV appearances, Radio Shows, Magazine Articles, National Speaking events with key note speakers such as Donald Trump, Anthony Robbins and Robert Kiyosaki, educational workshops, software development and much more.

    Darby’s steadfast support and keen insight have been invaluable during these past years. He has helped me stay focused and to keep on track with my goals and dreams. He has been especially supportive during the scary and unknown early phases of my company’s growth and expansion. Darby encouraged me to stay alive to my dreams and to experience being out on the “skinny branches” of life. He saw my potential, when I had lost all hope and he stood for my greatness and to be all that I could be so that I could make a difference in the world around me.

    I owe an enormous debt to him for keeping me in the game when the going was tough and I wanted to throw it all away. He laughed and cried with me and never gave up the hope and inspiration to keep me going. My company has turned the corner and I would not be here today to enjoy it if it were not for Darby’s continual and persistent support of me.

    Gratefully and enthusiastically,

    Lisa Vander, M.Ed.
    President and CEO Pacific Blue Investments
