ABOUT HOAN
RAVING CLIENTS INCLUDE
Hoan Do is a student success coach, author of Succeeding in the
Real World, and city finalist in NBC’s hit show, American Ninja
Warrior.
From Humble Beginnings to a Bright Future
From an early age, Hoan was conscious of the sacrifices his
parents had made in their escape to the United States during the
Vietnam War- in pursuit of the American Dream. Feeling indebted to his parents for their courageous pursuit of a better life, Hoan vowed to ensure that one day, he would be able to take care of his parents. Hoan’s hard work took him to Malibu, California, where he attended Pepperdine University, fully engaging in the academic rigor and array of opportunities that the school offered.
Stressed Student to Successful Speaker
With the tremendous pressure Hoan placed on himself, in
addition to the stresses of demanding classes, extracurricular
responsibilities, and important life decisions, Hoan found himself overwhelmed. His self-esteem reached an all- time low. He even contemplated suicide. Refusing to settle and give up on life, Hoan used this experience as a turning point to learn the practical skills that was necessary to succeed in school and in life. After graduating from Pepperdine University, Hoan beat out
candidates who were considerably older and vastly more
experienced than him to work with the #1 personal development company in the world. As a national speaker and corporate trainer, Hoan conducted training sessions for distinguished audiences that included: 21, Bank of America, Honda, Toyota, UBS Financial, Chambers of Commerce, and the U.S. Army.

Examiner, Hoan travels across North America speaking at colleges, high schools, and associations sharing practical advice that helps students to succeed in school and adults to thrive in the real world.

His engaging style and ability to share important life lessons in a way that students and adults resonate with has earned him the Verizon Wireless Motivator Award.
CANDID THOUGHTS FROM CLIENTS' AMAZING EXPERIENCE WITH HOAN
“It was amazing to see how much the students connected with what Hoan had to say. When he spoke, it didn’t feel like a speech, it felt more like an experience. The event was so successful that we exceeded seating capacity!"
Melissa Uyesugi
Asst. Director for Student Engagement & Leadership, Edmonds Community College
“Hoan went above and beyond what we asked for. After Hoan finished speaking, his time with us was technically up. Most speakers would have packed up and left.
He stayed throughout the day to take pictures, sign books, and connect with every person that wanted to speak with him.”
Geoffrey Grigg
Asst. Director Multicultural Affairs, Baylor University [Waco, TX]
“I had SEVERAL teachers come find me and tell me that Hoan was the best speaker we have had at HOSA. One
told me that God sent him with a message that she needed to hear. She was on the verge of leaving teaching
(she is a first year teacher and that is stressful). But the message that it was okay not to be okay hit home with
her and she is renewed.
