In this episode of the Black Corporate Life podcast, host James Frison conducts a candid discussion with Lynne Stokes, founder of Stokes Unlimited. Lynne shares her journey from a technical background, to marketing roles in renowned companies like PepsiCo, and to her current endeavor of assisting mid-life professionals in pursuing their dreams while managing their current careers. This pursuit is described as 'working on your what's next while working on your what's now.'
Lynne offers advice on balancing professional aspirations with life's responsibilities, the importance of investing time toward individual interests, and harnessing personal experiences to share one's unique story. She places particular emphasis on seeking coaching or mentorship when in a period of transition or seeking clarity about one's personal path.
