Wani Iris Manly

One decision can change the entire trajectory of your life, and for Wani Iris Manly, Esq., that came on New Year's Eve 2010. While living in Miami, she spent a year receiving daily signs pointing her to Paris. So she listened. She gave away nearly all her belongings to three charities and leaped with less than $500, no French, no contacts, and no plan. That leap revealed one powerful truth: Changing Changes Everything®.

A TEDx and award-winning keynote speaker, attorney, and bestselling author of Get Out of Survival Mode and Live the Life You Really Want, Wani is an international speaker who has graced global stages at Harvard, Cambridge, Penn State, Oxford, WeWork, and more. From the moment she steps on stage, audiences are captivated — her passion, authenticity, and signature style leave students feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to take on the world. Not your average speaker, Wani exudes a star presence, that certain "je ne sais quoi" that enthralls crowds and individuals alike.

Her core message — The sky is not the limit, but the viewpoint. And from that vantage point, your success is inevitable.
