Bio

Recognized as one of the most prominent voices for mental health advocacy, Dr. Rhonda M. Wood shines as an award-winning international keynoter, bestselling author, and leading authority on mental health and wellness. Leveraging over 30 years of corporate experience, Rhonda impacts audiences with her mission to normalize and destigmatize mental health conversations. She trains individuals and corporations worldwide on how to shatter mental health stigmas and embrace compassion, awareness, knowledge, and acceptance.

Rhonda’s extensive expertise had earned her invitations to speak on major corporate stages across the country. She has delivered dynamic live and virtual keynote speeches for large international audiences, including Shawn Fair’s Leadership Experience Tour, Cheryl Wood’s SpeakerCon, Northwestern Mutual “Leading the Way” Conference, and the Women’s R.I.S.E. Conference in Paris, France, to name a few.

Rhonda is a compelling thought leader and motivational speaker dedicated to supporting women's personal empowerment worldwide. In line with her unyielding passion for helping women succeed, Rhonda founded RMW Enterprises, a global movement that focuses on Helping Women Win from Within. ™ She specializes in helping women reclaim their inner power, make peace with their past, and prosper in their purpose so that they are empowered to reach their highest potential, personally and professionally.

Rhonda uses her unique voice and talents to serve women from the classroom to the boardroom and beyond. She unapologetically shares her mental health journey with a level of transparency that allows her voice to resonate in the hearts of women around the world. In a world where women are expected to stay silent about mental health issues, Rhonda chooses to speak up and shine light and awareness on matters that have remained in the shadows. She has a deep-rooted passion for helping women reset their value, renew their vision, restore their vocation, and rediscover their voice.

Rhonda was awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree of Philosophy in Entrepreneurship & Business Administration by Trinity International University of Ambassadors School of Business Honors Program in recognition of being a successful leader in business and her work with mental health advocacy and women’s empowerment. She also received the United Nations Global Women of Distinction Award for her lifelong commitment to building a strong global reach of service to the world.

  • There is no question that Rhonda is a dynamic empowerment speaker with an undeniable passion for mental health awareness and childhood trauma. I had the pleasure of hearing her speak at The Leadership Experience Tour in Troy, Michigan. She gave an awesome presentation on what it means to stand in your truth and give power to your voice because “every voice matters.” It was powerful and her delivery was outstanding. Rhonda’s message, personal knowledge, and experience will inspire those who are suffering in silence. I was truly blessed hearing her presentation and recommend her for any organization looking for a speaker to motivate, encourage, and inspire their audience.

  • My encounter with Rhonda M. Wood was one of respect and astonishment. I was in awe of Rhonda’s presentation. Not only did she wow us with her story but her conviction and commitment to empower people to overcome their past trauma was exceptional. I cannot imagine living through the pain she experienced but I could certainly relate to how she dealt with it. I understand living to please others while all along being unfulfilled on the inside. I appreciate Rhonda’s journey from Brokenness to Breakthrough. Her strategy to Redefine her life through Reset, Renew and Rediscover is a powerful reminder of how your past wounds don’t determine your future. If you need a Coach or Speaker for your next event, I know that Rhonda will not disappoint you and she is an absolute great choice.

  • I am Kasundra "Dr. K." Brown The Tilted Fedora Trainer, motivational teacher, inspirational speaker, author and transformational thought coach. I am so excited to say a word about Rhonda M. Wood, the World's #1 Mental Health Advocate. Rhonda's decision to not hold back and speak her truth about the horrible abuse she suffered as a child is an inspiration to us all. Few people take the chance to flip the script on the pain in their lives and turn "stumbling blocks" into "stepping stones." This is exactly what Rhonda has done. She gives a dynamic, passionate presentation on the emotional damage she suffered from one event that happened when she was only 7 years old. And how by telling her story, breaking the silence, she has been freed up to enjoy the extraordinary life she managed to build for herself despite the tragedy. Her story will lift and inspire the brokenhearted among us for ages to come. I recommend her heartily to any group or organization that wants to empower its members and make a real difference in the lives of others.

Rhonda’s presence on stage is undeniable and her humbleness off it brings a since of joy to her audience. What I love about her most is her confidence on the stage. It commands the attention of her audience. It communicates lucidly that she is the authority on the topic at hand. I cannot say enough about how great it was to have the opportunity to work with Rhonda and I highly recommend her without reservation. If you want to create a memorable experience for your conference Rhonda is the obvious choice.
