COACHING THE IKIGAI CONCEPT
If you are a coach, psychologist, or educator, ikigai is a life philosophy you can use to help clients live with greater fulfillment and meaning.
Closely aligned with positive psychology, ikigai offers a way to guide others toward motivation and resilience in times of hardship, while opening the door to self-actualisation.
The challenge? Ikigai has become one of Japan’s most misunderstood and culturally appropriated concepts. It's not a term from Okinawa. It’s not the Japanese “secret” to longevity. It’s not a Venn diagram to find your bliss or a formula for entrepreneurial success. And it’s certainly not the pursuit of a single life purpose.
You don’t want to be that coach who misinforms clients or leads them down the wrong path.
Are you ready to coach the ikigai concept? Take our assessment.
