DONNA SAYS, ASK YOURSELF:
Are you more afraid of success than failure?
Do you undervalue your worth?
Are you unaware of the limitations that keep you from flourishing in your life, work, and relationships?
A major reason why people don’t thrive is because we’re focusing on the wrong things―on keeping up rather than waking up to what matters most. In The Thriver’s Edge, master executive coach and transformational leadership expert Dr. Donna Stoneham uses her powerful THRIVER model to help readers uncover the beliefs and fears holding them back from more fully expressing their gifts.
THE SEVEN KEYS:
- trust
- humility
- resilience
- inner direction
- vision
- expansiveness
- responsibility
WHAT IS THRIVING?
Thriving is being in full bloom no matter what season of life you are in.
Thrivers make the choice to break through fears that hold them back from expressing their full potential.

Thrivers look for why things can happen, rather than why they can’t.

Thrivers embrace challenges as learning opportunities.
Thrivers are committed to fulfilling their vision and they take action, one step at a time.
