More about Me Ra
Trusted by leaders at Oprah, Live with Kelly & Mark, Disney, and Sony, Me Ra Koh is a sought-after speaker who helps organizations understand a critical truth modern leadership often overlooks: the brain decides confidence, trust, and capability visually—long before logic ever enters the room.
A founding Sony Artisan Photographer and six-time bestselling author, Me Ra brings a rare blend of storytelling mastery, visual-perception insight, and lived leadership experience to audiences navigating change, burnout, imposter syndrome, and high-stakes decision-making. Her work explores how identity is formed—and reformed—through what individuals repeatedly see, believe, and internalize.

As co-founder of FIORIA and the nonprofit FIORIA Institute, Me Ra’s methods are now being used to help leaders and teams strengthen resilience, restore clarity, and lead with grounded confidence. Her signature Rising Phoenix framework reveals why performance shifts when the brain’s visual feedback loop shifts.
Me Ra’s story is as compelling as her insight. After surviving profound personal trauma—including homelessness and time spent in a psychiatric ward—she went on to build a global career spanning media, publishing, and leadership development. Today, she brings this work to rooms of every size, including a recent keynote delivered to 20,000 attendees that earned a standing ovation.
Rather than leading with inspiration alone, Me Ra equips audiences with practical, neuroscience-informed tools they can apply immediately.
Audiences don’t just leave inspired. They leave seeing themselves—and what’s possible—more clearly.

Rising Phoenix: Seeing Yourself Clearly in Times of Change
Join Me Ra Koh, a global storyteller and Sony Artisan of Imagery, for a visually powerful exploration of resilience and leadership. Through compelling stories, cinematic imagery, and insight drawn from advancing the study of visual neuroplasticity, Me Ra reveals how perception shapes confidence, performance, and the ability to move forward through change.
Brave Clarity: How Trust Is Actually Earned
Trust is rarely earned the way leaders expect. In Brave Clarity, Me Ra Koh shows how trust, alignment, and credibility form before words are spoken. Drawing on partnerships with brands like Disney, she reveals why identity matters more than tools or titles. Through storytelling and neuroplasticity, leaders become easier to trust by aligning who they are with how they’re seen.
“What we repeatedly see shapes what we believe we’re capable of.”
