Fulfill Your Passion to Help Others and Become A Certified Ikigai Coach!

An 8-WEEK IKIGAI TRIBE COACH CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

Certified Ikigai Tribe Coach Badge

"There is nothing more for humans to live life fully than IKIGAI. Therefore there is no cruelty greater than to deprive humans of their ikigai, and there is no greater love than to give humans their ikigai."

- Mieko Kamiya, The Mother of Ikigai

Life Coaches, Business Coaches and HR Managers Have Got It WRONG!

Ikigai is NOT a framework of doing something that you love, that you are good at, that the world needs and that you can be paid for.

Not Ikigai

According to Japanese culture, finding your ikigai is the most honourable and rewarding thing one can do. It’s the key to a purposeful and fulfilling life. It's not a grandiose motivational framework, but a life philosophy involving daily rituals, appreciating the small joys of life, living your values, building intimate relationships, fulfilling your life roles and pursuing a life goal with a healthy sense of urgency.

If your ikigai is to help others find theirs, then becoming a Certified Ikigai Coach will give you an advantage over the thousands of life and business coaches teaching the wrong concept.

WHY BECOME AN IKIGAI TRIBE COACH?

  • Help people find meaning and purpose.
  • Do work that is aligned to your values.
  • Get well paid for helping others.
  • Set your own schedule and work when you want to.
  • Learn and grow as an individual.

THIS CERTIFICATION PROGRAM IS IDEAL FOR YOU IF:

  • You are a professor, teacher or trainer.
  • You are a physiologist.
  • You are a life coach or business coach.
  • You are an entrepreneur.
  • You are a HR manager wanting to get the best out of your staff.

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FOR YOU:

  • If you think passion alone will guarantee you success.
  • If you are not willing to apply the knowledge you learn from the program.
  • If you're hoping ikigai to be a magic bullet for you and your clients.
  • If you are only in it to make money.

THE IKIGAI TRIBE COACHING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

Week 1:
THE MOTHER OF IKIGAI- You'll learn exactly what ikigai is to the Japanese, how to best define and explain it, with an in-depth look at the life and work of Mieko Kamiya. As none of Kamiya's books have been published in English, you'll be one of only a handful of people who'll intimately know her groundbreaking ikigai philosophy.

Week 2:
THE IKIGAI FOUNDATIONS - A step by step walk-through of The Ikigai Framework. We'll look at the foundations of ikigai and explore values, mirai-sei (a bright future), roles & relationships and Dr. Shintaro Kono's ikigai leisure theory.

PURPOSE - In this module we explore shimei-kan, ascend through levels of purpose starting with how you do things, moving on to your roles and then finally exploring a personal mission with kokorozashi.

FLOW - An ikigai-kan state where we explore how Japanese craftsmen achieve states of flow to create exquisite pieces of art, and how the concept of flow goes beyond the individual in Japan.

7

I am really happy to share with you my thoughts about the Ikigai tribe coaching program certification. There is so much to say !

First, I would like underlying the high quality of the content which is delivered by Nick Kemp. This program provides valuable information from high qualified experts and researchers. I have to say that Nick put a lot of care and energy in building such a huge amount of content.

That brings me to the second point that I want to emphasise. Nick’s skills as an empathic coach. I have rarely met someone as sensitive as Nick. Nick shows remarkable human values. Thank to his personality traits, we were able as a group to develop a deep-level communication. Each week we were meeting, having intimate and meaningful discussions about life and ikigai.

Nick is an immensely knowledgeable and supportive instructor who created a learning environment in which participants felt comfortable asking questions, sharing insights from their own contexts, and discussing often quite profound personal experiences. As a result, we learned not only about ikigai itself, but also how it could manifest in and change the lives of a range of different people. 

This was a unique, enriching, and incredibly rewarding course, and I feel grateful to have been able to enrol!

Nick is very caring, patient, and honest with his work on ikigai. He cares about this concept, understanding it deeply and sharing his insights with the world. He patiently listens to many ikigai experts. He creates authentic learning communities about ikigai. I have been blessed with knowing and working with Nick.
