What shape is your life?
Ten years ago, you might have envisioned a straight path filled with milestones like college degrees, career plans, and retirement. But life is rarely linear. Disruptions—whether in work or personal life—can derail even the best-laid plans. Research shows that over 70% of change initiatives at work fail and we spend over half our adult lives in transition - missed targets, shattered careers, fractured relationships, illness, forced retirement and more. Unexpected changes can shatter dreams, leaving us to scramble for solutions when we should be embracing new opportunities. We can navigate change successfully using breakthrough mindset and design principles that fit any scenario.
I’m Lesia Stone. My passion is investing in others.
With over 20 years of experience as a mindset coach, consultant, and advisor, I help business professionals and organizations develop the self-reliance needed to navigate transformational change with clarity, purpose, and resilience. I’ve had the privilege of partnering with leaders in multinational corporations, innovative startups, and high-performing teams to foster growth and drive meaningful, sustainable change.
Whether you're aligning your team with a new vision, disrupting your business, transitioning into a new role, or contemplating retirement, I’m here to help you make the next phase of your journey one of purpose and impact.
Let me guide you through the process of reimagining your career, your life, and your legacy.
Change is Inevitable. Transition is a Skill
Changes are events. You move or get a new job. Your company merges and you are redundant. A global pandemic breaks out. Your cat dies. Your kids leave home. You retire. Change is never ending. Transition is different. It is optional and it is a skill.
To successfully Transition means doing the work of creating inner shifts of identity, possibility and belief. Shifts to help us assimilate and adjust to changes. Some transitions are easy and others sap your energy, keep you stuck, confused, and unable to take a step forward. Transitions are not automatic and often require consistent and specific efforts.
Consider this: What if you had a guide to help you identify limiting beliefs and emotions that may be holding you back and keeping you stuck? What if you could craft a new chapter that allows you to design and live into your Purpose while navigating changes with finesse and equanimity?
Embrace Change as an Experiment
Rather than feeling overwhelmed by adversity, what if we viewed life as a playground for experimentation? Instead of being derailed, we can cultivate a mindset of curiosity, design a forward path, and engage fully with our passions and purpose.
Consider this: What if retirement became a chance to craft your next exciting chapter instead of a daunting void? You have control over what happens next.
Innovative Approaches for Lasting Change
Over the past two decades, breakthroughs in neuroscience, emotional intelligence, design thinking, and mindfulness have revolutionized personal development and team interaction dynamics. I have studied with, and gained insights from, esteemed experts—executive coaches, neuroscientists, and thought leaders—to evolve my work in this space.
Consider this: What if your team's challenges were the catalyst for innovation? Instead of viewing obstacles as setbacks, or team conflicts as hindrances, harness design thinking to turn them into opportunities for growth and collaboration.
By applying human-centered design principles, I help clients navigate the ever-changing landscape of work and life. My focus is on empowering Self-Reliance and Self-Mastery, enabling leaders to live balanced, fulfilling lives utilizing their growth mindset, inner strength and clarity.
