More about Lori:

A third-generation Japanese American and a descendant of the Samurai Warrior, Lori Tsugawa Whaley is an inspirational speaker on a mission to empower others to reach their God-given potential, no matter their path, heritage, or circumstances.

Whether she is inspiring prison inmates at the local correctional facility to create better lives, empowering women business owners at Money Wise Women conferences to honor their financial resources, or addressing business executives at the Project Management Institute to celebrate cultural diversity, Lori Tsugawa Whaley captivates attention and compels listeners to live inspired, purposeful lives of powerful contribution that extend far beyond the day to day realities of commerce.

Growing up in a predominately Caucasian farming community, Lori struggled with being different.  She channeled her unrest into tireless research and curiosity to study and embrace her Japanese heritage.  Today, she models the ways of the Samurai Warrior with every story she tells and every move she makes.  Without judgment and with a full heart, she lives the principles of honor, courage, benevolence, rectitude, honesty, honor, and loyalty, while inspiring others to do the same.

Having endured and painstakingly continuing to recover from not one, but two auto collisions, Lori’s resilience has been strongly tested.  It is one thing to model the ways of the Samurai Warrior in good times.  It is another thing to do so after being diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), endure years of rehabilitation, and now is a TBI survivor.  Her compassion to guide others through tough times is informed by her own journey to regain wellness against demanding odds.
