ValueSoul Liberate Your Heart, Mind & Wallet book cover

"I believe love reveals our true intentions, allowing full consciousness, mindfulness, and unrestrained expression—no barriers, false pretenses, or innuendos. It comes directly from the source that fuels our soul, our purpose for being here, and why we are all interconnected. We have a wonderful opportunity to understand our role in relation to the rest of humanity. By understanding this, we unveil the true colors of our intentions, which are the expressions of our love. May we Color The World in LoveTM.”

– Darby Hobbs

Inside the Exhibition:

This book is part of an exhibition that has gathered over 40 global voices, yet it speaks from a single, unified heart.

These voices

Change Champions in their own right, they stem from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and disciplines but remain connected by one fundamental truth: the shared journey of the human condition. Their individual paths come together toward a collective vision—the emergence of what we call the Human Condition Age.

Their reflections

Reflections on psychology, insight, courage, wisdom, freedom, consciousness, innovation, fortitude, higher purpose, spirituality, power, and love are woven into a transformative narrative. Each story represents a thread from a much larger tapestry that explores who we are and who we are becoming.

A Fresh Perspective

Within this exhibition, a fresh perspective emerges. An invitation to shape the soul, rediscover the rhythm of your purpose, and present your transformed self in service to others. It’s a journey of renewal, hope, and deeper connection - to community, shared humanity, purpose, and the unfolding path as each story is shared. It offers a window into your own Soul Intelligence (SLQ).

To ValueSoul is to believe in a society that uplifts openness, creates value rooted in values, and elevates people beyond their circumstances—freeing them to contribute their unique gifts to the greater good. At the core of it all lies one unifying thread: love.

The goal of this book is to offer more than words. It is to guide you toward a deeper understanding of self, of being, of social consciousness, and of the meaningful work you are called to do. At every turn, you’ll find a resonant truth: transformation begins with love. And from that love, in all its forms, a more conscious, connected, and compassionate world is born.

In creating this anthology, our goal is not to be limited by traditional ideas of societal change. Instead, we aim to provide a holistic experience. One that goes beyond your starting point and invites you into a transformative, multi-sensory journey. This narrative is crafted to empower you to reflect on your personal path and see how your choices can help build a more sustainable, conscious, and impactful world. In doing so, it frees your Heart, Mind, and Wallet.

“As you engage in self-exploration and gain clarity on your identity, your criteria for assessing value naturally shift toward a more elevated, positive frequency. Discernment, in turn, evolves into a holistic practice. When you embrace your authentic self, make wise choices, and generate meaningful, lasting solutions, you operate from a place of compassion and intentionality—serving not just yourself, but the broader human collective.”

As you embrace ValueSoul you:

  • Are empowered to create, grow, and transform your life through a deeper connection with your purpose.
  • Are invited to become stewards of conscious change.
  • See love as the ‘Currency for Change.’
  • Become a BRIDGE between mindfulness and business values.
  • Honor others’ perspectives as a sacred contribution to our collective evolution.
  • Embrace the use of intentional language, which invites curiosity, alignment, and transformation in how we understand, lead, and love.
  • See your life as a canvas to paint the world with hope, kindness, and grace.

As you grow in ValueSoul you:

  • Connect your Heart to your Mind to your Wallet.
  • Lead with integrated intelligence, a multi-dimensional awareness of self and others.
  • Design systems of value.
  • Live with a shared purpose.
  • Understand that workplaces must become ecosystems of care.
  • Realize that transformation lives in the questions we dare to ask and the presence we bring to the answers.
  • Acknowledge that Love is the invisible architecture of life.

The exhibition provides Three Galleries:

40 Years of Experience

Darby’s passion is in creating positive change, combined with the belief that businesses exist for both profit and purpose, and that the financial system and associated value drivers are both significant challenges and opportunities to unlock. She emphasizes building networks, fostering community, and developing materials and curriculum to help individuals align their hearts, minds, and wallets to make the world a better place.

After a distinguished career in the financial services and investment industries, which included holding senior level positions at American Express, First Data, BISYS, PFPC, Fidelity Investments and Brown Brothers Harriman, including her own publishing and conference firm focused on the mutual fund industry, Darby devoted her expertise towards strategies to awaken the financial services industry to be accountable for all of humanity and our environment. Met with hurdles, she gallantly leaped over them to continue her crusade to educate the next generation, so that fundamental change would be inevitable for all sentient life.

Part of that journey was developing and teaching courses on Social Entrepreneurship and Impact Investing at Boston University and Bridgewater State University. As a mentor to colleagues, undergraduate, and graduate students at Boston College and other universities, Darby has expanded the horizons of many she has mentored.

She embodies the grace of a thinker, the compassion of a mentor, the courage of a strategist, and the creativity and imagination of an artist. All these qualities combined give her a unique perspective and a kaleidoscope of ideas that come naturally to her and, consequently, to her readers.

She has served on numerous advisory boards, social impact competitions for graduates, and co-founded the Boston Chapter of Conscious Capitalism, where she served as President for two years. Darby has led various impact-focused educational programs and mentored with Net Impact, Ashoka, NEIII, MIT, Boston University, Brandeis University, and Turner MIINT. She serves today on the Advisory Board of NEIII (New England Impact Investing Initiative).

Darby has been a member and now President of the Cape Cod branch of NLAPW (National League of American Pen Women).
