William Koty
While designing curriculum and creating other educational opportunities, William continues to ponder the same question he has been asking for most of his adult life: “What is the nature of reality and what does it all mean?”
Trying to understand the world
With a bachelors degree in world business and a masters degree in international policy studies, a few years as a professional chef in San Francisco, and a dozen years in California’s software industry, William eventually found himself a fulfilling career at the University of British Columbia. Most recently as Director of the UBC Continuing Studies Centre for Sustainability, and before that in a variety of roles, he stretched his creativity as never before, developing a host of programs at the intersection of business and technology, making a difference in the lives of thousands of students.
Now retired as Program Director Emeritus, UBC Extended Learning, his search for understanding the world continues along with his perpetual quest for greater meaning. So, what has he discovered so far?
“I’ve been doing a lot of doing ~ not a lot of being!”
On his journey of self-discovery as an educator, meditator and reflective thinker on the human condition, William has realized his greatest contribution to the world is in developing opportunities for individuals, teams and companies to stretch their own sense of self to be the best they can be for themselves and the world.
William has designed and facilitated many programs and workshops over the years, and today is the co-creator/facilitator of our Discover Your Purpose and Fulfilling Your Life Purpose workshops.
