Hi, I’m Roland — and I believe every person has a calling worth living.

From a shy young man afraid to speak, to an international inspirational speaker and bestselling author — this is the story of how I found my voice and now help others find theirs.

The Beginning

I grew up as an ordinary young man in Estonia.
Back then, I didn’t know what I wanted to do — only that I didn’t want to live a life that felt small or unfulfilled.

After high school, I followed the expected path and went to university, but deep inside I knew something was missing. I had big dreams, but also fear — fear of failure, fear of speaking, fear of truly being seen.

By age 19, I had already faced my first heartbreaks, setbacks, and moments of doubt. I wanted to do something meaningful with my life, but I was afraid to take the leap.

The Turning Point

Everything changed in 2008 when I discovered the world of personal growth.
Through books, seminars, and mentors, I learned something life-changing — that courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s choosing to act in spite of it.

That same year, I made a decision to transform my life from the inside out. I started sharing what I was learning with others, and slowly, one step at a time, I found my passion for inspiring people.

Since then, my life has been a journey of learning, teaching, and helping others believe in themselves again.

From Estonia to the Global Stage

Today, I’ve had the privilege to speak to audiences from 10 to 10,000 people — both in Estonia and internationally.
I’ve shared the stage with some of the world’s most inspiring leaders, including Jean-Claude Van Damme, Robert Kiyosaki, Robin Sharma, Jack Canfield, Nick Vujicic, and T. Harv Eker.

In 2019, I also released my first inspirational music album Better You, combining my love for music and personal growth into one experience that touches both the heart and mind.

In 2021, I was honored to receive the title of Outstanding Young Estonian, a recognition that reminds me every day to keep sharing hope, courage, and inspiration wherever I go.

The Mission

My mission is simple:
To bring out the potential of human beings.

Starting from 2025 I’m especially keen on bringing out the potential of heart-led speakers, leaders, entrepreneurs and helping spread their voice to global stages.

I inspire people to believe in themselves, find their true calling, and take action toward the life they were meant to live.

Through my keynote talks, workshops, and books, I help people reconnect with their passion, purpose, and confidence — because I know firsthand what it feels like to doubt yourself, and what it takes to overcome that.

As my own speaking career grew internationally, I wanted to help other mission-driven leaders do the same. That’s why I co-founded Becoming International together with Janet Attwood — a movement and mastermind that supports speakers and coaches in expanding their message globally while staying aligned with their purpose.

When people realize that they already have what it takes, transformation begins.

“To be truly great, you don’t have to be above others. The most powerful leaders are Outstandingly Humble.” — Roland Tokko

The Author Within

I’ve poured everything I’ve learned into my books:

12 Things That Weren’t Taught at School — practical lessons for happiness, courage, and success that everyone should know but were never taught.

This book is about one thing: helping you become who you truly are.

Beyond the Stage

When I’m not speaking or writing, you’ll find me creating new songs, enjoying time in nature, or learning something new.

I believe personal growth is a lifelong journey — and that happiness comes not from achieving, but from growing and giving.
