TED MA

Be the One: How Great Leaders Bring Out the Best in Others

We all have a leader who made a significant impact on our career. The mentor who challenged the way we see ourselves and how we show up in the world. As a result, they become “the one” for us. Our ability to be the one for others doesn’t happen by chance; it is a result of a specific mindset and set of behaviors. Based on a national research study, this interactive keynote will teach you how to overcome the barriers that hold most leaders back and create a culture that people never want to leave.

Ted Ma is an international keynote speaker, author, and leadership strategist who works with leaders and organizations to create a culture that people never want to leave. As an elder millennial, he has been coaching leaders for over 20 years. Unlike many leadership experts, Ted built and led an international sales team of over 6,000 independent agents. His work has been featured in numerous publications such as USA Today, Inc, CNBC, and the New York Times.

When he’s not traveling the world speaking, you may find him rappelling down waterfalls, trying to keep up with his new son, or ordering complicated coffee drinks.
