What happens when someone finally asks themselves the questions they’ve spent a lifetime avoiding? In this powerful, soul-searching presentation, attendees are invited to step into that quiet, honest space within—where real clarity lives and true purpose begins.

Through a blend of compelling insights, personal reflection, and life-altering lessons, Dr Koka challenges participants to confront the questions that define a meaningful life: Why am I here? What legacy am I leaving? Would the world be any different if I hadn’t lived?

By sharing key personal discoveries, Dr Koka offers a starting point for participants ready to pause, reflect, and explore these deeper questions. While he does not claim to have all the answers, he generously shares what he has learned—inviting others to explore what it means to live with purpose, connection, and a true sense of what matters most.

Upon completion of this workshop, attendees should be able to:

• Reconnect with their core values and reflect on the legacy they wish to create.
• Explore essential life questions that shape purpose, fulfillment, and connection.
• Challenge familiar definitions of success by considering deeper measures of meaning.
• Apply new perspectives to living more intentionally, authentically, and impactfully.
•
