Some speakers talk about resilience. Norliza Pavlakos has lived it, and that difference is what audiences feel the moment she steps on stage. A survivor of childhood abuse, homelessness and domestic violence, Norliza refused to let her beginning decide her future. She rose to become an internationally recognised keynote speaker, entrepreneur and one of the top 10 female speakers in the world, proof, in person, that strength can be built from the ground up. Her entrepreneurial drive is just as remarkable. At 23, with no startup capital, she drew 4,000 attendees to the Miss India International Event. She built and ran Mini Bar Piccolo, then grew a thriving tailoring business across five locations, serving the Australian Open, the Grand Prix, Marriott Hotels and international celebrities. She went on to found My Mind Hub, a mental health directory connecting people to the right practitioners, turning her hardest chapters into a tool that helps others. Today, a Golden Gavel Honouree and a leading global voice in mental health and suicide prevention, Norliza works with Fortune 500 companies including Microsoft, Dell and Emirates, helping their people perform at a higher level through a message of strength, hope and resilience.
