If I can DREAM BIG so can you.

About Michele Okimura

Do You Believe You're a Creative Genius?

You are a creator. That spark is not confined to a canvas or a stage; it flows through the way you solve a problem, mend a relationship, or find a new path forward. For years, I forgot how to dream. I believed my past defined my limits. My journey taught me that healing is the foundation for hope. My purpose is to help you dream bigger for every facet of your life. Your dreams have the power to change the world.

How Will You Dream Big?

The Dream Big Framework is a practical 15-step guide for transformation. Whether you’re leading a team, nurturing children & youth, or seeking your own purpose, there’s a path to a more vibrant future.

Dream Big For
Your Organization

Cultivate a culture of courage, build resilient teams, and lead with clear vision. I partner with leaders to unlock the creative potential within their organizations.

Dream Big For
Your Family & Community

Strengthen the relationships in your life. I provide practical workshops and resources to help parents and educators nurture the next generation of hopeful dreamers.

Dream Big For
Your Personal Journey

Reclaim your story, awaken your purpose, and step into the fullness of who you are. Explore my books and retreats to guide you on your personal adventure.

“Michele’s presentation on ‘Dreaming’ was well prepared and addressed the multiple learning styles of our diverse Leadership Team. Through her presentation, Michele was able to rekindle and inspire the need and desire to reignite our Leadership Team, that it is never too late to become a ‘dreamer’ and make a positive impact and difference in the world.”
