Every person can live a richly textured life and lift themselves up from any circumstance. Wayne Elsey has done it—and so can others in any community by tapping into their inner strength. From his humble beginnings as an awkward teenager to finding his path in the footwear industry, creating a global nonprofit, and social enterprises, Wayne has seen the vision—even when others haven’t. Everyone has the power within themselves to do the same.

A Strategic Shift: Promoting Self-Leadership and Empowerment

Wayne has set on a new path after decades of creating visionary leadership, growing his social enterprises to support the planet, and providing work opportunities in the U.S. and 24 countries worldwide for thousands of people. He realized there are too many telling others what to do and insufficient people promoting self-leadership and empowerment. Everyone has a gift.
