Vincent Barlow
Vince Barlow has spent decades helping leaders close the gap between who they are and who they’re capable of being. He coaches from the inside out, because that’s the only direction that produces lasting change. And when he couldn’t find technology that did the same, he built it.
The story
He coaches from lived experience.
Vince didn’t arrive at emotional intelligence through a textbook. He arrived there through life — through the kind of moments that either break a person or build them into something deeper and more resilient than they were before.
A stroke survivor, Vince knows firsthand what it means to rebuild — not just physically, but from the inside. To rewire. To choose who you’re going to be when circumstances give you every reason to become something smaller. That experience lives in every coaching conversation he has.
For over 25 years, Vince has worked with executives, founders and teams across industries, helping them name what’s actually driving their behavior, dismantle the patterns that are holding them back, and build new ones that last. His approach is EQ-first, accountability-driven, and grounded in the conviction that the inner work always precedes the outer results.
He is an EQi 2.0 certified coach and EQ 360 facilitator, a Myers-Briggs practitioner and a TKI conflict modes practitioner. See how he works in executive coaching and the EQ 360 leadership intensive.
By the numbers
The builder
Coaching wasn’t enough. So he built more.
Vince realized that the principles behind great coaching — visibility, accountability, emotional intelligence, feeling seen — could be engineered into technology. Not cold technology. Technology with a heartbeat.
321 Clearpath
A team scoreboard that lives inside Microsoft Outlook. Built on the belief that visibility creates accountability — and that people do better work when they feel seen and supported, not surveilled.
GapMaster 4 Sports
The mental training app for young athletes and the people who raise them. Because the gap between talent and performance is almost always emotional. Coming soon.

Author & speaker
Author of Becoming Unshakeable.
Vince is the author of Becoming Unshakeable and co-author of Building a Career That Lasts with Ted Saul. He is a keynote speaker on EQ, resilience and leadership for conferences and company events.
What drives him
“No one outside of me is my problem. I choose who I’m going to be. I can love the most unlovely person and feel powerful doing it.”
The declaration of a person who has become unshakeable. This is what Vince coaches people toward.
The man behind the work
More than a professional biography.
Vince lives in Saint Augustine, Florida with his wife MaryAnn — his collaborator, his anchor, and the person who has walked every season of this journey alongside him.
Faith is woven into how Vince sees people — their worth, their potential, and what they’re truly capable of. He doesn’t impose it, but he doesn’t hide it either.
At the end of the day, Vince’s promise is the same one he made decades ago: to help people who have been given something give it away to others. Teaching them to fish.
