Our world as we know it has ended…
And this is is good thing.
Yet us humans, we grossly fear change. We are deathly afraid of it.
Infact at the end of 2021, Google Trends shows that people googled the “fear of Covid” and the “fear of change” at alarming and rivaling rates. That is how much we fear change. We fear it equally as death.
Even under the best of circumstances, change is a disruptive force and for many, it’s a trigger for stress, fear, and anxiety.
If not carefully managed, it can destroy morale in a company, decrease productivity, and wreak havoc on a team and an organization.
To successfully lead through change however, leaders within organizations must learn to manage their own response first, then support others as they navigate through it themselves. And, as a leader, you must also learn to identify and advocate for necessary change, in order to stop any resistance to change from your team.
And this is where Wani comes in…
A sought-after keynote speaker, Wani Iris Manly, Esq. teaches leaders how to lead with change to transform a company’s cultures in order to build sustainability, remain competitive and thrive. This results in leaders that inspire, a culture that isn’t resistant to any change initiatives or change adoption, a workforce that has the “Entrepreneurial Mindset,” that is self-led, takes responsibility, thinks creatively, are cooperative, and has a stakeholder mindset.
Through engaging in-person live speaking events, virtual programs, and consulting, Wani equips leaders with the necessary tools they need to change their mindset and lead with change, create inspired teams, and create a thriving culture that has an ownership mindset.

Hi! I’m Wani.
I’m TEDx and award-winning keynote speaker on Change and Entrepreneurship, a multip-bestselling author of Get Out Of Surivival Mode and Live the Life You Really Want, a corporate, businss and IP attorney of 19 years, and a woman that is fueled with a passion of unwavering courage.
I’ve been featured in nearly 30 publications, 20 podcasts, and have spoken on stages across the globe, includig a TEDx stage in Northern Ireland. I’ve lived in five countries, the US, Liberia, Spain, Italy, and France, and and most widely known for my daredevil move to Paris from Miami — where I knew absolutely no one, not one word of French, and without a Plan A or B, but went purely on following repeated signs that led me the iconic city of Lights.
However, I’m no stranger to change…
From starting my first business in 2008, my law firm W. Manly, P.A, as a brand-new entrepreneur, to living in five countries, learning three languages, and more, I’m not adverse to taking big leaps and navigating change.
Fueled by an unquenchable thirst for business, I’ve worked my entire life championing on behalf of corporations, businesses of all size including public companies, and entrepreneurs. I’ve been a corporate, business and IP lawyer for 20 years working exclusively with C-Suite executives, Start-Ups and Entrepreneurs, whilst serving some of the most recognizable companies in the world, including MasterCard Int’l, Inc., Visa, Inc., Office Depot, Inc., to name a few.
Today, I help organizations’ teams and cultures stop resisting change, and instead see the gifts and unique opporutnity inherent in every change. Through my framework of “Changing, Changes Everything” I show them how they can transform their culture from resisting change to thriving with change.
