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.


How Hoan Can Help You


Recognized as the best youth mentor by the International

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. Hoan’s young enough to relate to students, yet old enough to provide life changing advice. 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.
