Coaching Bio:

Hello, my name is Beverly Hughes and I am a Personal and Business Empowerment Coach. I came to this profession, as many do, seeking to help others find their way to live more passionate, fulfilling lives, and to reach the goals they set out to achieve, or the dreams they want to realize.

All too often, people spend their lives doing things that drain them of their life force. I was one of those people. After several jobs/endeavors out of college that didn’t pay much, I took a job in a Fortune 500 company for a larger paycheck. The next thing I knew, I was in so deep that I felt trapped, as by then, I was vested, advancing on a career path, making a good income and able to live in a small, beautiful town that otherwise didn’t have many viable employment opportunities.

I won’t say that I didn’t have good experiences or didn’t meet lots of great people along the way – because I did; but for too much of my time there, I struggled to hang onto myself. It was a high stress, hyper-competitive environment, with long hours, and not a lot of consideration for the people doing the work. Unfortunately, this is common now at many workplaces. I continued for the reasons I did – but I dreamed of a future where I could do something that better-matched my unique gifts of helping others in a creative, meaningful way.

I eventually left that business, and took a sabbatical – traveling, volunteering, and seriously contemplating how I wanted to show up in this world for the next chapter. The experience and skills that I had built, while useful to leverage and share, were not ones that I wanted to continue in quite the same way. What did resonate strongly for me was to continue being of service, as I always loved that in each of the jobs that I had done. But this time I wanted to be involved directly with others in doing something to support their personal empowerment, and help them reach their goals of living more passionate, authentic and successful lives.

In the realm of business, because of my background in finance, sales, and management (non-profit, entrepreneurial and corporate), my opportunities now are to help people looking to develop themselves professionally, or those running small or mid-sized businesses, who want to up their game, and achieve a balance where their work and personal lives are in harmony. I also want to help people in work environments who choose that path for particular reasons, be able to hang onto their own sense of well-being and make their lives work better, while being more successful. I have a deep understanding of how that feels, AND what it takes to do it. I want to support people in these journeys, and coaching is a perfect way to do that.

We are all walking this larger path together at the same time in history. We each have unique gifts to bring to the world. For me, it’s all about connecting in a creative process, exploring potential and possibilities, and seeing things come together for people to be the best that they can be. Are you ready to begin your journey? Take the first step!
