    The Roots of Resilience with Rebecca Yeung and Kesha Kent

    · Power Shift

    This episode features Rebecca Yeung, Corporate VP, Operations, Science and Advanced Technology, FedEx and Dress for Success Global Ambassador Kesha Kent.

    They discuss RESILENCE, how overcoming challenges gave them strength, family and childhood legacy and the impact of collective resilience.

    “My family really taught me what resilience meant... by saying no to the statistics and saying no to the odds and saying yes to what we want in life.”
    —Kesha Kent

    “A definition of resilience is you never give up when faced with adversity. If you look at me, growing up in China in the (19)70’s without running water or electricity... eventually I found my way and today I am proud of my journey, proud of my family... I think resilience comes with a positive mind set”
    —Rebecca Yeung

    Building Courage with Cynt Marshall and Cheyenne Jones

    · Power Shift

    This episode features Cynthia “Cynt” Marshall, CEO of the Dallas Mavericks, and Dress for Success Global Ambassador and entrepreneur, Cheyenne Jones. They discuss COURAGE, how this quality has allowed them to defy obstacles that seemed insurmountable, and how the concept has evolved as they advanced their careers.

    “Courage is choosing to do something that scares me, that’s unfamiliar or uncomfortable. It’s the strength to just look at it in the face. When I think about it, I always think of my mother. She was a courageous woman.” –Cynthia Marshall

    “You just have to let it come out. Put yourself in situations where courage will start to drop out of you and, before you know it, you’re going to be taking leaps and bounds and you’re going to be saying how did I do that?”
    –Cheyenne Jones

They discuss AGENCY, how this quality is emerging as a vital force in our society-- especially for women, how it is linked to both free thinking and responsible action, and how role models ranging from Oprah to Barbara Walters influenced their paths.

    “We don’t control what happens to us, but we can certainly control what we can do about it.”
    —Claudia Hernandez

    “I define agency as control over your actions, it is as if they are self-motivated as opposed to imposed by someone else, like society or an institutional structure. This is an important moment for women as we take control over our bodies and our careers.”—Sunny Hostin
