About Sharon

My name is Sharon and I am a fully qualified and practicing Life, Business and Career Coach based in Dublin Ireland. If you would like to know more about Coaching and what it is, I wrote a post on it HERE.

I am passionate about People and particularly in Personal and Career Development. I’m especially interested in people wanting to make a total career change particularly through the growth of a personal Side-Hustle. If you’d like to know more about a Side-Hustle I wrote on it HERE.

I work with clients on a one-to-one basis but I also deliver training in areas such as Leadership skills, Time Management, Goal Setting and other personal growth areas.

I work full time in the Events and Communications Industry and I live in Dublin city with my partner, daughter and our dog Billi. I Blog for fun and tweet from @SharonHughesIre. I’m an accidental gardener and love a good DIY project.

Testimonials

I’ve had the great privilege of working with some fabulous people over the years, through training or one-to-one coaching. Heres what they have to say!

“Sharon coached me through a tricky career shift, giving me the perspective I needed to reshape my work situation. Her no-nonsense practicality combined with genuine enthusiasm and moxy delivers results. I came home from a 1-hour session with 15 new strategies and exercises to implement. In 60 minutes I felt a new sense of agency over my life direction. A month later, as I work my way through each of her suggestions, I’m seeing new opportunities emerge from each action I take. I have been singing her praises to everyone I meet. She’s the real deal!”

“Sharon worked incredibly well with our speakers, encouraging them to really interrogate their content and find the story within that would capture an audiences attention. Her inclusive and no nonsense attitude was well received and helped to level the room between very experienced speakers and novices”

DCU FemSoc Leadership Workshop

“Sharon was extremely informative, clear and professional. Her workshop was inspiring for all involved and there was an approachable atmosphere where interaction was inspired throughout. The concept of Sharons classes got great interest from thw student body and she was able confident on working with the crowd on the day. The talk was well thought out and well organised and DCU would recommend Sharon and her coaching services to anyone in need of motivation and organisation in their personal lives or careers.”

“Sharon worked with WFE since 2013. In that time she has been heavily involved in the design, promotion and implementation of a programme aimed at encouraging more women to participate in Leadership roles.

Other Projects

As well as Coaching I am an avid volunteer and I volunteer with a number of groups I’m interested in including Unemployment Networks, Womens groups and Volunteering organisations. I’m always looking for my next project.

TEDx Ha’Penny Bridge

I was delighted to be asked by the organisers of this great event to work with their Speakers as Official Speaker Coach of the organisation. As well as facilitating a group session to help participants work on delivery, I also worked with the individuals on polishing their talks. It was a huge honour to work with so many motivated people.
