Leading Well was developed to engage the community we serve through digital conversations with academics, business executives, executive coaches, community leaders, and leadership experts. These wide-ranging discussions cover topics from personal growth to leading others, and human development to leadership best practices, with a goal of engaging leaders at all levels. Through this series, we provide access to expertise, insight, advice, and best practices on topics related to leadership, leadership development, and leading well.

The years that followed lead to personal and professional transformation through- reading, meditating, heuristics and personal reflection writing. After a 2014 trip to Bhutan and hiking in the Himalayas, Ebony decided to become a Certified Executive Coach, a Creative Insights Journey trainer, Hypnotist, and MBTI Certified Practitioner. Ebony now sets out to help others find their bliss.
