Beverley Jones

Beverley Jones is a transformational speaker and author, renowned as the Founder of Awaken Coaching Ltd and Awaken Mentoring Ltd. Her life journey is truly motivational, encompassing a 30-year senior manager corporate career across the UK and Ireland, to experiencing burnout and starting her own wellbeing company in 2010. During her battle with burnout, Beverley crashed through suicidal thoughts, self-harm, paranoia, loneliness and anger. It was a dark, sad part of her life, and despite being an experience she never wants to repeat, today she sees it as one of her life’s greatest gifts. Through her inspirational journey, Beverley leads her clients through her relationship with depression and anxiety, demonstrating how the road she travelled was tough, how her trust in people was knocked, how her life turned upside down and how indeed through her recovery and beyond an ordinary life became extraordinary.

As her life took on the twists and turns of recovery, Beverley decided it was her life mission to not only help others not to go where she went, but to help them transform and achieve calm in their life - by recognising who they are born to be. Beverley inspires others with her honest, authentic account of her journey and through her personable character, she delivers her talks in a thought-provoking manner. Often with humour, always with tips to take away, she delivers her mission, leaving audiences with the understanding that they have the right to be the person they were born to be, that someone may be hidden, that someone may be lost, that someone may be living life through others dreams, but deep inside is the very person that needs to shine. Today, she shares her expertise in recovering from burnout as the author of the Breaking Burnout Newsletter, and a media contributor across press outlets and has recently appeared on BBC Wales Live. Alongside this, she has also hosted a local weekly community radio show in her local town. 

Since experiencing burnout, Beverley now understands that it was indeed the bullies, the emotionally abusive relationship she was in and the working long hours that stripped her of herself, all of which she now talks candidly about. It is indeed these experiences that have presented the gift of her award-winning talks - which always end with the motto of ‘life is simple, humans make it difficult’. Beverley has spoken at countless events of all sizes, encompassing everything from large organisations and conferences to small business events and wellbeing expos. She is also the proud author of Made it Thru the Rain, an inspirational book following her journey through depression.
