Orly Wahba is here to empower people to discover and become the best versions of themselves and influence the world for good! She is a kindness expert, entrepreneur, educator, keynote speaker, and the best selling author of Kindness Boomerang: How to save the world (and yourself) through 365 daily acts.
In 2011, Orly created the short film “Kindness Boomerang” which went on to become a viral phenomenon, amassing 100 million+ views and seeping into the kindness vocabulary worldwide. Inspired by the massive international success of her film, Orly founded Life Vest Inside, a global non-profit that aims to empower and unite the world through the power of kindness.
In 2012, Orly launched Dance for Kindness, the largest annual worldwide flashmob. Dance for Kindness has since grown to become a phenomenal leadership training program with 100,000+ participants from 50+ countries.
Through her work over the past decade, Orly has created a dynamic kindness network that fosters dialogue with people across the globe, including parts of the world torn apart by conflict. Along with her multiple TED and TEDx talks, her book, and flashmobs, she now champions what is popularly known as the “Kindness Revolution”.
Orly is also the co-creator of Project Hope Exchange – a digital online repository of messages of hope, and the creator of Abraham’s Legacy – a one-of-a-kind social network for prayer and spiritual growth.
Orly and her work have been featured in numerous media outlets including NBC, CBS, The Today Show, TED, Forbes, Huffpost, Parade Magazine, International Business Times, Adweek, Psychology Today and Good Life Project.
When she isn’t passionately hustling to change the world, you might find Orly playing basketball, ping pong, the piano, drums, or figure skating at the nearest rink! She currently resides in Jerusalem, Israel, traveling between Jerusalem and New York for work.

Orly did not just speak to a group of conference attendees, she spoke to me. Though the audience was large, her words individually pierced my conscience. Her story is one that should be heard and absorbed. I walked away from the talk with an increased appreciation of people around me, those I know, and even those I don’t. This can be applied to personal, business, and community.

Orly is a remarkable individual and I loved her speech and delivery. As I sat listening to Orly and seeing her presence on the stage, she reminded me of Tony Robbins. The raw voice, the passion and the inspirational message was pure magic! Mark my words, Orly is going to be one of the best and well sought-after speakers in the industry.

Our students are still raving about Orly’s talk weeks later. She has a knack for evoking passion and emotion out of students and faculty alike. Many of our students have been inspired to take a more active role in helping others after hearing Orly speak. If you are looking to see a more positive change in your organization, I highly recommend bringing in Orly.
Orly Wahba is a ball of energy, super motivator, certifiable influencer, and encourager extraordinaire. We were inspirationally blown away and left compelled with the truth that we ALL have the capacity to change our world.

It was a pleasure working with Orly. From the start she showed real interest in understanding our program needs, organization culture, and worked with us to maximize the experience for our participants. She navigated connecting with a diverse group of Jewish high school leaders with warmth and sensitivity. Our students were left inspired and motivated to grow themselves and impact their Jewish communities with their unique capabilities.

Orly Wahba is an amazing speaker, storyteller, and entertainer! On some level, the concept of kindness is so simple. I mean, how many ways can we encourage people to be kind, right? The way Orly spoke with her stories, energy, and authenticity, including her impromptu reactions to what was happening at our event, made the simple idea of kindness come alive.
Orly Wahba's book 'Kindness Boomerang' is more than good philosophy, it is a box of spiritual tools - it is full of heart and decent thoughts, good will, and makes available a ready course of action for any given day. This is the work of a beautiful and evolved human being. When I grow up, I hope to be more like Orly Wahba. Get this book! Change the world a little bit at a time, and you yourself can change.

I have seen that Orly and LVI give a lot of people out there a community where they have a chance to belong to. No matter what each individual case is, LVI is their “Home”. Her care and positive outlook gives them the love they so ache for in this seemingly more and more unloving world. It’s nice to know that Orly’s light is out there, lighting the way away from darkness.
