Zai is an alumni and mentor of the Women’s Leadership Academy of the US Department of State. She was nominated for ‘The Most Compassionate Womenpreneur Award’ in 2019, awarded the ‘Kindness Advocate’ and ambassador of VOLK – Voice of Loving Kindness by Singapore Kindness Movement and conferred as ‘101 Most Fabulous Global Coaching Leader 2020’ by the World HRD Congress, recognized as ‘Iconic Women Creating a Better World for All’ in March 2020 at the Women Economic Forum🤝🏼  

Despite her success momentum, little is known of the tragedy that struck her in April 2005.  After a painful recovery from an accident that broke her spine and almost rendered her paralysed, Zai's determination for a comeback redefined her life's mission and that became a driving force for her to positively impact humanity. During her recovery, Zai knew that she had to step up, even when it means having to learn to walk all over again.  

Zai stands today to share her story today, empowering others on how she managed to overcome her fears and doubts and the framework she used to turn any obstacles or pain into power. She recorded her comeback journey in a semi autobiography-styled book titled ‘Turn Your Passion into Profit’ and ‘5 Things I Love About Being A Woman’, both Amazon Best-selling books🎇  

Reflecting on how far she has come, Zai explained, “I feel like I have been given a second chance in life. And now that the world brings an entirely new meaning, I am dedicating myself to inspiring others. I aspire to help people turn their pain into power and turn their dreams into reality with confidence and clarity. My hope is for the world to be on a #stepupjourney to be the strong soulful success they are meant to be. My dream is for humanity to believe that they can be whatever they want to be with faith and love."
