Here at Transformation Academy we are excited to announce our January’s Transformation Academy Rising Star – Verleshia Hughes!

Our goal with this initiative is to recognize and celebrate group membership who demonstrate the heart and service of a coach. Each monthly recipient of this recognition will be selected for a unique reason. Some will be seasoned coaches who serve as valuable mentors within the group. Others may be just starting their coach-training journey and exude a contagious attitude or passion. Others may be actively supporting other group members, whether by providing resources, answering common questions, or providing moral support. Regardless of each of our wonderful group members’ background or experience, we all benefit from the mutual support and varied perspectives offered within this diverse group! The Rising Star initiative is a way to give a special THANK YOU to those who go above and beyond to share of themselves within this community.
This month we would like to recognize Verleshia Hughes for being a great role model coach who uses her personal experience as a powerful catalyst for her wellness coaching business!
Verleshia has been a group member for a year now, and she can often be found posting inspirational content that is well-written and an example of great social media posts! She comes across as authentic because she LIVES what she teaches. Having a purpose-driven niche is a key factor that makes a coach successful. By focusing on a topic area that Verleshia is passionate about and that she has experienced personally (wellness), she can communicate clearly and powerfully in what her ideal clients are experiencing and desire. She knows because she has been there! Her coaching business, Her Well Life, provides her a way to guide other women through their journey toward health, weight loss, and self-care, providing both the practical steps and by helping them find their motivation to change through their Faith and higher purpose.

Below is an interview we conducted with Verleshia.
WHAT IS YOUR NICHE (COACHING FOCUS) AND HOW DID YOU CHOOSE IT?
As a result of working with Her Well Life, women who were feeling overwhelmed, create healthier habits and wellness spaces so that they can feel fabulous, peaceful and productive.
WHO IS YOUR IDEAL CLIENT?
Overwhelmed female entrepreneurs and new wellness
coaches.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO BE A LIFE COACH?
When I was a center director, my supervisor (regional director) asked for my help to take her idea and create a health and safety campaign. She gave me a week, and I completed it in one day. It was successful throughout her region. Corporate asked her to
place it into 149 centers in nine states. Later that year, another regional director asked me to fly to Ohio to help her director for a week. That director made great success in her center the following week. Then people started asking to pick my brain. This is what inspired me to become a Life Coach. I continued my education and earned my Certification in Life Coaching & Mentoring.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN COACHING?
I have been a coach for 12 years.
HOW DID YOU GET YOUR FIRST CLIENT?
My first client observed my work as a director. She asked me to coach her in creating ideas for her baking business. That’s when I launched my coaching business.
HOW HAS YOUR COACHING JOURNEY CHANGED YOUR LIFE?
I am a product of my brand. I have improved significantly in my mindset, body and creating wellness spaces for women. Word of mouth and effective marketing research has helped me build my business. I’ve been able to make great connections and meet clients. I’m able to work from anywhere.
Wanting to help everyone.
Most importantly, impacting and transforming lives. Giving back and leaving a legacy for my children, grandchildren and great grandson. Living life on my own terms. Traveling and working from anywhere.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST INSPIRATIONAL MOMENT, WITH A CLIENT?
When a client had struggled for years to lose weight. As a result of working with my program, Her Well Life, she got results within the first week. She was so ecstatic, after our followup session, I cried too.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COACHING ACTIVITY TO DO WITH CLIENTS?
Mind exercises to get the client relaxed before getting transformed. When the mind is calm, she’ll be able to objectively define obstacles. So she can reduce and/or eliminate those obstacles—and focus on her big why.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST EFFECTIVE STRATEGY FOR FINDING CLIENTS AND/OR GROWING YOUR BUSINESS?
Market research and polling my audience.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOURSELF BACK WHEN YOU FIRST DREAMED OF BECOMING A COACH?
Stop self-limiting beliefs. Be yourself and show up. Your right client group is waiting on you.
WHAT IS THE IMPACT YOU WANT TO MAKE IN THIS WORLD?
I want to help women who are stuck in a mindset and struggling to lose weight, to achieve their wellness goals, so they can have quality of life, longevity and vitality.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE?
“When you are operating in your genuine gift, you will be equipped to succeed. Keep pressing forward towards the mark. You GOT this!” — Verleshia
THE MINDSET AND STRATEGY FOR THE MINDSET AND STRATEGY FOR The Mindset AND Strategy for ACTUALLY Achieving Your Goals ACTUALLY ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS ACTUALLY ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS
Goal setting is so much a key to success that it’s cliché. We know it, but most of us don’t do it.
By Natalie Rivera
First, we want you to know that this is NOT just another lame goal-setting program. This is the exact process we use to exceed in our goals year after year and coach thousands of clients to create BREAKTHROUGHS. Second, regardless of how cliché it is, setting goals is
VITAL if you want any chance of fulfilling your dreams with your career or your personal life.
Most people only consider their goals once per year— around New Year’s Eve. And, according to a study published by the University of Scranton, people who don’t set goals are missing out because people who explicitly make resolutions are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who don’t explicitly make resolutions. Ten times more likely. Those are some good odds! However, your odds could be much, MUCH greater. What if you could learn what those who succeed at their goals actually DO differently than everybody else—and then do that? Well, you can! In over a decade of studying human potential and psychology, coaching and training individuals and team members, and running our own businesses—we’ve learned why most people and businesses fail at achieving their goals.
The truth is that most people don’t have the mindset for success.
They don’t have goals and they don’t make a plan, and, when they do, they don’t use an effective strategy for executing their plan. Achieving any life goal requires knowing three things, which we refer to as “The 3 Ds.” In order to know these three things, you must ask three questions: • Desire: What do you really want? • Drive: Why do you want it? • Do: What do you need to do? DESIRE: WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?
Step 1: Brainstorm: Write down everything you can think of (big or small) that you would like to change, achieve or do. For the purpose of this activity, focus on long-term goals that you want to accomplish within one year. Feel free to dream further into the future, just make sure you narrow down to one or two yearly goals. If you have a goal that will take longer than one year, identify what part of it you CAN do in one year and write it down. Goals can be personal, work-related, or both. Step 2: Simplify. Look at your list and group items that are similar or that can be combined into one larger goal. Step 3: Prioritize. Look at your simplified goals and circle the ones you feel are your highest priority. Rate each circled goal on a scale of 1 to 3, 1 being the highest priority and 3 being the least.
Step 4: Identify one to two major goals for this year.
Looking at your priorities, identify one to two goals that: 1) Will make the biggest impact on your life (create your BREAKTHROUGH)
