With almost a decade of keynote speaking and coaching experience, Obando draws from her own life events in overcoming unthinkable hardships, which she shares in her book, “Without A Voice – A Woman’s Journey to Resiliency,” and her TEDx Talk, “When Breaking Points Lead To Empowerment.” She uses her prevailing tools to help others thrive in life, teach how to overcome challenges, and achieve goals regardless of the circumstance.
