Meet Ladeidra Stokes-roberts, M.s.,m.a

We recently connected with Ladeidra Stokes-roberts, M.s.,m.a and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have LaDeidra with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?

I get my work ethic from my father Leroy Stokes. He was a huge influence in our lives. My dad was so dedicated and passionate about being a truck driver and he dedicated over 50 years to the trucking industry. My dad started us at a very young age to get out to work hard at any and everything that you want in life. He taught me, my siblings, and my cousins that you can be anything you want to be in this world but you have to go out there and work hard for it. I remember as a young girl my dad made me work for everything and he would pay me for it. Even as a young girl, my cousin and I would travel with him on his 18-wheeler and he would pay us for taking his per diem, his meals,etc. I was taught by my parents at a very early age how to deposit money into the bank, write out deposit slips,etc. Honestly, this taught me to be time management, consistency, and discipline when it relates to my career.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

My name is LaDeidra Stokes-Roberts, M.S, M.A and I am a Provisional Mental Health Counselor Licensee from the State of Florida, Kids Life Coach, and Educational Coach. I am currently the owner of RBS Counseling & Educational Services, and RBS Consulting & Training Services. I feel really excited about bringing innovative and creative ways to cope with challenges and identify strengths to children, parents, and families. I am also excited about being a life coach that inspire music artist when it relates to music and mental health. One of my specialties are inspiring clients with innovative coping mechanisms during our sessions including music, art, toys (fidgets), etc.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

I want my story to inspire others to understand that you can turn your passion, talents, and interest into a business venture. I want readers to believe in his or her craft. I want people to operate off their talents and gifts. I think the most successful people became successful not because of their income but because of the talents and gifts they displayed to make an impact in their communities.

What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?

The most impactful thing my parents did for me was to teach me empathy, generosity,and how to network with others in the community. My parents enjoyed helping others in the community, so I was encouraged and motivated to continue their legacy of helping others.
