What our clients are saying:
Hughes Solutions recently facilitated a full-day board retreat for our non-profit trade association. We are all lawyers from a wide array of companies and law firms across the country. Hughes Solutions did thorough advance work, identifying key needs, drivers, and roadblocks, then provided carefully curated pre-reads to make the most of our time. In the retreat itself, Hughes Solutions ensured that everyone felt heard and seen, and that we kept to our ambitious agenda. These efforts were immensely helpful to the Board in gaining clarity, alignment, and actionable commitments we are implementing to drive our work forward. We’d gladly work with them again and I personally will refer Hughes Solutions at any opportunity.

Donna was fully engaged as a coach, listened to what I expressed were my areas of challenge and shared meaningful insight and practical tools I could use to address them. She helped me to re-think how I perform my work and to re-focus my attention in ways that have helped me be more productive and less overwhelmed. And I truly enjoyed our interactions as I felt a wonderful rapport with Donna.

Donna presented a zoom seminar for our group on “Empowering Your Negotiations.” Donna is insightful, engaging, relatable and passionate. She effectively led a group discussion, and really made the screen come to life. While I was familiar with the topic (and have read and participated in other discussions regarding the topic), Donna’s workshop really helped me have a “mindshift” above my own negotiation style. I also found her to be extremely helpful and enthusiastic in planning the event. I would definitely recommend her in the future for both coaching sessions and offering training and group coaching.

Engaging Hughes Solutions for professional coaching was the best thing I could have done. My coach provided clarity when I was looking for professional alignment with my personal life. She engages in role play and asks tough questions and helps you find the answers that aren’t readily on the surface. I’ll use my coach again and again and again!

Reaching the C-Suite does not mean that your professional development has come to an end. Working with Donna has been my portal into the consistent growth that is necessary in today’s fast-paced business environment. Donna’s coaching style is one of introspection. Her guidance is delivered as a means for her client to discover, within one’s own mind, the solutions that enhance leadership presence and performance. Donna inspires mindfulness in a frenetic corporate world, encouraging her clients to “stop and think” before taking action. Her energy is contagious and motivating. Following each session, I come away with new tools to apply to my day-to-day executive responsibilities and always look forward to our next discussion.
