Listen… I know what it’s like to be on the outside looking in — especially in corporate spaces where the rules are often unspoken and uneven. I’ve been there. I’ve navigated the closed-door conversations, the constant code-switching, and the exhausting push to prove yourself twice as much for half the credit. But here’s what I’ve learned: you don’t have to wait for permission to lead. You can define success on your own terms — and build a plan to rise with intention.

I’m Dr. Ebony Stone — leadership strategist, operational expert, and founder of Ebony Stone Enterprises, a WBE-certified firm redefining what leadership development looks like for both individuals and organizations.

With a Doctorate in Business Administration and over two decades of experience in leadership, training, and operations, I’ve coached professionals, built systems that scale, and helped organizations align culture with performance. Whether I’m working with high-achieving women navigating their next career move, or with companies ready to lead beyond buzzwords, my work is about one thing: building leadership that lasts.

At the core of it all is my PAUSE™ Framework — a soul-centered model that helps leaders reflect, reset, and rise. Through keynotes, coaching, and consulting, I help you stop the cycle of burnout, reclaim your voice, and lead with clarity and conviction.

Because leadership isn’t just about the title — it’s about the strategy, the systems, and the story you choose to write.

This isn't just leadership development...

This is leadership redefined
