Speaker bios:

Wai Ma

Wai is a man who continually lives his life by Breaking Limitations. He is an entrepreneur and professional speaker. Despite being born with the twin scourges of multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy, he has developed a positive philosophy by which he has changed from being helpless to getting more from life. It becomes a matter of risk: “…as you take more risk, you will fail from time to time, but your failures will lead to success, and you will live life fully.”

Wai’s infectious enthusiasm for whatever he is doing is contagious. He says: “You can choose the kind of energy you wish to attract into your life. Positive energy results from positive thoughts, and you can choose.” Wai had chosen a career in speaking when there was a time in his past when many doubted he would ever be able to communicate clearly. Wai is surrounded by a great support structure of family and friends who are inspired by his attitude and determination to make a difference in others’ lives by sharing his experience.
