As a Coach:
Reynold Chen is a certified Life Coach and powerful motivational force who helps individuals living with disabilities, self-doubt, or emotional setbacks reclaim their confidence, purpose, and power. Blinded by a rare genetic condition over 20 years ago, Reynold’s journey has taken him from despair and depression to a place of deep self-acceptance and resilience.
Once told he couldn’t succeed or contribute, Reynold defied every expectation by turning his blindness into a strength—and now he empowers others to do the same. Through his coaching, Reynold helps clients reframe their “limitations” not as obstacles, but as openings to a richer, more meaningful life.
His coaching philosophy is grounded in empathy, honesty, humor, and deep personal insight. Whether you feel stuck, unseen, or unworthy—Reynold will meet you where you are, walk with you through the storm, and guide you toward the life you can live—fully, freely, and fearlessly.
“I may have lost my sight, but I gained clarity. And I believe you can, too.”
As a Speaker:
Reynold Chen is a motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and single father who has turned personal adversity into a message of radical self-acceptance, resilience, and transformation. After gradually losing his vision to a rare hereditary eye disease in his early 20s, Reynold spent years resisting the reality of his blindness—clinging to old habits, identities, and societal expectations. But through deep introspection, hard-earned wisdom, and a lot of messy, meaningful trial and error, he discovered that acceptance isn’t defeat—it’s power.
With over 20 years of lived experience navigating disability, depression, and identity loss, Reynold shares honest, vulnerable, and often humorous insights about what it really takes to rebuild from the ground up—again and again. Today, he operates a successful vending services business through the Business Enterprise Program for the Blind, raises his son as a blind single father, and uses assistive technology to thrive in a world designed for the sighted.
Reynold’s talks are a wake-up call for anyone stuck in survival mode or running from their reality. His message resonates deeply with students, working professionals, and anyone facing physical, emotional, or mental challenges. His unique blend of raw storytelling, inspiring takeaways, and lighthearted perspective empowers audiences to stop waiting for the perfect moment—and start building a fulfilling life from where they are, just as they are.
Whether speaking on stages, at colleges, in corporate training, or on podcasts, Reynold’s authenticity reminds us all that self-belief begins with self-acceptance—and that true strength is built from embracing the truth of our stories.
