TIM TAMASHIRO BIOGRAPHY

Tim Tamashiro is the author of the Amazon #1 bestselling book How To Ikigai. Tim Tamashiro’s a speaker, singer and explorer. For a decade Tim was the host of Tonic on CBC Radio 2. He departed from CBC to study positive psychology, wellbeing and Ikigai (life’s worth). Tim Tamashiro is the author of the non-fiction book How To Ikigai. His daily intention is to connect with people to share meaningful experiences. Ikigai is an ancient philosophy from Okinawa, Japan. It encourages all people to live their “life’s worth”. Studies show that the pillars of Ikigai support overall well-being. Each person has an ikigai that, once understood, will enhance daily life and personal fulfillment. Best of all, Ikigai is a map with four directions to follow:

1. Do what you love
2. Do what you’re good at
3. Do what the world needs
4. Do what you can be rewarded for

Tim Tamashiro has learned that his own Ikigai is “to delight”. Tim Tamashiro shares his Ikigai every chance he gets whether he’s giving a speech, singing a song on stage or sharing a smile with a stranger. In a world where people want purpose and meaning, it’s getting harder to retain talent. We all know that retaining employees is important for business success, but the numbers are not in your favor. According to Gallup, 70% of Americans hate their jobs or have checked out mentally. Add to that the world has changed over the past two years. There is a great resignation. employees want more from their employers. You can’t just throw around the word “meaning”. Instead, you need to help your employees with opportunities to find their potential.

Tim Tamashiro will show you how with his keynote speech on IKIGAI. His speeches are designed for HR leaders, executives and C-suite level decision-makers who are challenged by retention issues due to employees being unengaged or disengaged at work. He uses ikigai as an important tool for self-actualization in a time when employees want a meaningful life that includes a meaningful job. When he speaks on this topic he shares stories about real people who have found their reason for getting up each day and staying engaged at work through applying principles of ikigai into their daily lives. Tim Tamashiro also provides evidence from positive psychology for how people can ensure greater meaning from their jobs.

Tim Tamashiro helps companies define meaningful work by helping them understand what drives each individual employee so they can create an environment where people feel fulfilled and motivated to stay with the company long term. His presentations help companies develop strategies that engage employees while improving productivity and retention rates. This has helped many companies increase profitability by reducing turnover rates, increasing productivity and creating more engaged teams who love coming into work every day because they’re working towards something meaningful together as a team.
