Notes on Resilience 100: Life Transitions: Resilience and Community Support, with Dr. Ebony Stone
What happens when life throws you a curveball, and resilience feels like an elusive dream?
Join us for this next episode in the Life Transitions series to talk with Dr. Ebony Stone, a resilient voice in the world of coaching and personal growth, to explore how communities can uplift us during life's transitions. Her approach to resilience, emphasizing lessons learned and positive impacts, challenges us to redefine strength beyond the traditional narrative of merely pushing forward.
We discuss the power of pausing and pivoting. Resilience is not just a relentless forward march but sometimes a gentle step back to process and make mindful choices. These intentional pauses remind us to savor every day and find clarity amid chaos, and give us a fresh perspective on navigating life's inevitable twists and turns.
Dr. Ebony Stone wears many hats: corporate executive, entrepreneur, practitioner scholar, leader, mentor, author, speaker, and coach. She has led diverse teams across various levels of corporate structures, from entrepreneurial startups to large organizations. This extensive experience has fueled her passion for development, particularly in coaching women to become their best selves.
She is the author of The Power of the Pause: When a Female Executive Can No Longer Hide Behind High Functioning Anxiety and Depression, which delves into her personal struggles with anxiety and depression, offering a candid and empowering narrative that encourages women to embrace their vulnerabilities. By sharing her story, she aims to inspire others to own their narratives and find strength in their unique experiences.
Dr. Stone's authenticity, transparency, and candidness set her apart in her niche. As a high-achieving black woman, she understands the pressure to hide imperfections. However, she now recognizes that these so-called imperfections are what make us unique and drive our passions. Dr. Stone's message is clear: the effort to live up to unrealistic expectations can hinder us from realizing our true potential. Instead, she encourages embracing our journeys' beauty and greatness, which lies in our authenticity.
