Keynote #1: How To Ikigai
Most people struggle to find their purpose—but what if there was a map to guide the way?
In his keynote, How to Ikigai, bestselling author Tim Tamashiro introduces audiences to the Okinawan way of life that helps people live with clarity, joy, and a deep sense of meaning. Ikigai is more than a concept—it’s a lifestyle rooted in four transformative directions:
Do what you love.
Do what you’re good at.
Do what the world needs.
Do what you can be rewarded for.
These principles provide a practical and inspiring map to align life’s passions, talents, and contributions into daily practices that spark fulfillment. Through How to Ikigai, Tim explains how anyone can complete daily cycles of giving their gifts to the world and receiving appreciation in return.
As the author of the Amazon bestseller How to Ikigai, Tim brings a wealth of knowledge, warmth, and relatability to every presentation. With his unique ability to simplify profound ideas, Tim empowers audiences to discover their Ikigai and integrate it into their lives. Whether navigating personal growth, career transitions, or seeking balance, this keynote inspires participants to embrace a life of purpose and connection.

Keynote #2: I am the “i” in Happiness
Happiness isn’t something we stumble upon—it’s something we create. In this uplifting keynote, Tim Tamashiro draws on life-changing lessons from his brief but transformative time as a Buddhist monk. From the simplicity and discipline of monk life to the profound practices of meditation and mindfulness, Tim offers a glimpse into what it’s like to live a life focused on reducing suffering and cultivating peace of mind.
Through heartfelt stories, humor, and practical tools, Tim shares how the principles he practiced as a monk—such as living with intention and embracing the present moment—have become core to how he reduces suffering in his own life. He reveals how you, too, can adopt these timeless practices to find joy, purpose, and calm in your everyday routine.
Whether you’re curious about the inner workings of monk life, seeking fresh ways to approach mindfulness, or looking for inspiration to take control of your happiness, this keynote will leave you with one powerful realization: you are the “I” in happiness.
