How did one doctor create multiple pathways to heal and ‘strengthen’ others?

In a world that often demands that we choose only one path, Dr. Wendy Ward was determined to choose more than one path. Dr. Ward is an anesthesiologist whose life has undergone a transformative transformation. Mpower Productionsa life coaching company and self-empowerment academy for young people.

Dr. “Although I did a good job as a doctor, I couldn’t imagine being assigned to do just one thing,” Ward said of an earlier phase of his career. He says his calling was never just about medicine; it was about creating change on a deeper level.

Mpower Productions, which he calls “CPR for empowerment,” focuses on managing stress, building resilience, and helping others realize their unique strengths.

Dr. Ward’s story of self-discovery began long before he entered medicine. Growing up on President Street, also known as Doctors’ Row in Crown Heights, he was surrounded by people like Shirley Chisholm. Rev. William A. JonesAnd Josephine EnglishThey all had an unwavering commitment to their communities. His father, a doctor, and his mother, a teacher, instilled in him the values ​​of service and community involvement.

“You were just expected to serve and give back — that was the way it was,” he said.

As a young girl, Dr. Ward dreamed of being an entertainer, athlete and storyteller. He honed his basketball skills with neighborhood kids, igniting a passion for the sport that would later earn him a college basketball scholarship. He also developed a love for storytelling, poetry, and music; these talents now shape his work with Mpower Productions.

About eight years after he started practicing medicine, he realized something was missing. He wanted to serve on a larger scale. Medicine was one of his channels of influence, but he felt he needed to go beyond his role as a doctor. He began to define himself as a healer rather than merely a doctor (he did not consider these terms synonymous) and turned to holistic methods to complement his Western medical training. The vision was to combine science and spirituality to create transformative experiences that would resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds.

He founded Mpower Productions ten years ago. It wasn’t simple. “Historically, doctors are the worst businessmen on the planet,” he said. So he educated himself on the basics of starting a nonprofit business. When his business partner was unable to continue due to personal difficulties, he continued on his own.

Dr. “The first empowerment event I had after incorporating Mpower Productions and ‘teaching people to fish,’ I self-financed it entirely with my doctor money,” Ward said. “If I don’t invest in myself, why should anyone else invest in me?”

Her work now focuses on helping clients, especially young people, accept and activate their inner greatness, manage stress effectively, and lead lives that are not only fulfilling for themselves but also beneficial to their communities. Its customers range from local schools to individual customers as far away as Europe.

He often told young people in his workshops, “Do not reduce your dreams to make them fit into reality.” “Instead, elevate your reality to achieve your dreams.” Dr. Ward has made it her mission to encourage others to view failure as an event, not an identity.

Her own experiences as a black female doctor in the 1990s, facing racism, sexism, and jealousy, taught her: “An obstacle is something you see when you take your eyes off the goal,” she says.

Part of this mentality stemmed from basketball in his youth, where he faced his own physical disadvantage as an undersized player. “I’m 1.80 tall, but everyone I played against would say I played like I was 1.80 tall,” he said. He outmaneuvered his opponents by outpacing them and investing hours of training. This same grit and determination would later lead him to become an anesthesiologist and eventually an entrepreneur at Mpower Productions.

Dr. Ward recently hinted at the “global empowerment mission” he’s working on; a vision that blends talents in sports, music and multimedia to create an accessible, engaging platform for people around the world. But it doesn’t stop there; With her roots in underserved communities, she is committed to ensuring her work reaches those who need it most.

“I was raised to level the playing field,” he said. “Everyone deserves access to opportunities, support and a future they can be proud of.”

Whether he’s speaking in schools or mentoring teenagers, Dr. Ward’s presence is atypical. Known for his energetic approach, he enjoys surprising students by wearing a vintage New York Knicks jersey and dribbling a basketball during his presentations, instantly transforming him from a “boring doctor” into someone relatable and inspiring.

Throughout his journey, Dr. Ward has come full circle. He is both the doctor his parents dreamed of and the mentor and storyteller he always knew he was meant to be. Dr. With Mpower, Ward not only pursues his own purpose, but also helps others achieve theirs.

“This second part of my second act is the most important and most effective,” he said.
