Dr. May Li is an international speaker and author who helps individuals navigate defining moments in business and career. Raised in a family that valued education as the primary predictor of success, she pursued it relentlessly, earning degrees from three Ivy League institutions and a PhD in science. Despite her academic achievements, wealth did not follow readily. She researched further and discovered it was not a lack of knowledge or strategy holding people back, but internal patterns that impede decisions at critical moments. With this insight, her approach shifted, and so did the outcomes. As new opportunities emerged, she began evaluating and selecting those that truly resonated, laying the foundation for her platform, Millionaire Mindset for Women. Dr. Li subsequently developed the Power on the Edge™ framework, which examines why capable people hesitate when called to expand and how to sustain momentum when higher levels of performance are required. Today, her program supports corporate women and entrepreneurs at all stages of expansion and wealth creation.
