How To Ikigai Keynote

At the heart of Tim’s work is one essential question: What’s my purpose?
It’s a question we all ask - quietly or loudly - especially during times of change. Tim helps people answer it in a way that’s simple, human, and doable. Through the lens of ikigai, he guides audiences to reconnect with what they love, what they’re good at, and how they can make a difference - without needing to overhaul their entire lives. His talks don’t just inspire - they offer a roadmap for real clarity, right where you are.
"It didn’t feel like a presentation because it felt more like a heartfelt conversation with a friend. Many of our members told me that they learnt a renewed sense of curiosity about our own paths." - Rou Lin Yu, Asian Employee Network, CMHC
