YOUR HOST

NICHOLAS KEMP

Nicholas Kemp is an international keynote speaker, facilitator, author, and founder of Ikigai Tribe.

He spent over a decade living in Japan and collaborates with leading Japanese researchers, including Prof. Ken Mogi and Professor Daiki Kato, on ikigai and related concepts such as rolefulness and ibasho.

His Ikigai Coach Certification represents the culmination of his lived experience in Japan, together with more than six years of dedicated research and study into the psychology and practice of ikigai.

A YEAR OF IKIGAI

The book A Year of Ikigai was inspired by Nicholas’s years of developing the Ikigai Coach Certification, together with his extensive learning and research into ikigai in Japan. It reflects real perspectives from across Japan, alongside practical applications for modern coaching and meaning-making.

To coincide with the global release of the book, Nicholas is opening a limited number of US and Europe certification cohorts for 2026. Join this live masterclass to explore the pathway and decide whether certification is right for you.
