Reinvention Starts Here…Starts Anywhere
It’s never too late to choose yourself and create the life you’ve always imagined
About Vivian
After 21 years in the corporate world, Vivian Kong Doctora had the title, the stability, and the respect — but she didn’t have fulfillment. She took the courageous leap into entrepreneurship, and what started with a single idea has since grown into multiple businesses, a children’s book, and a platform empowering women and young entrepreneurs.
Vivian knows the messy middle of reinvention because she’s lived it. Today, she’s the finalist of the Athena Leadership Award, co-founder of a young entrepreneur market for ages 5–17, co-founder of an Entrepreneur Group, host of a podcast featuring female founders, and a recognized leader in her community.
Through her speaking, Vivian blends powerful storytelling, real-world lessons, and practical takeaways to help audiences believe in themselves, embrace reinvention, and start building the life and business they’ve been dreaming of.
