Natasha Hughes:
About Natasha Hughes
Originally from County Mayo and now based in Wexford in Ireland’s sunny South-East, I am passionate about helping people grow personally, professionally and emotionally.
I bring more than 20 years of experience in global financial services, including my role as Co-Site Head at BNY Mellon. Throughout my corporate career, I led large teams, supported cultural change and developed a strong reputation for delivering results through empathetic, values-led leadership.
My community involvement, including serving as President of the Rotary Club of Wexford, has further strengthened my commitment to service, education and creating a positive, lasting impact.
Today, I work as an Executive and Emotional Intelligence Coach, Master EQ Practitioner and RocheMartin-accredited Emotional Capital Report (ECR) assessor. I support individuals, teams, schools, SMEs and multinational organisations to strengthen emotional intelligence, resilience and leadership capabilities that are human, sustainable and future-ready.
As a mother of three daughters who returned to education later in life, I understand the realities of balancing ambition, personal development and family life. I bring this lived experience to my coaching and facilitation, creating an approach that is grounded, compassionate, practical and deeply human.
I have delivered Emotional Intelligence programmes for students, educators, parents, professionals, leadership teams, SMEs and multinational organisations. I am continually inspired by the transformation this work can create. Emotional intelligence is not fixed—it can be developed at any stage of life. It is never too late to begin. You can train your brain.
I also speak at events, conferences and leadership forums on emotional intelligence, modern leadership, personal growth and creating cultures of trust and connection. My keynotes combine personal stories, professional insights and practical tools, leaving audiences inspired, informed and ready to take action.
Whether through coaching, training or keynote speaking, my goal is to help people unlock their potential, strengthen their relationships and lead with greater confidence and emotional intelligence.
