Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means your ‘reason for being”:
So, your ikigai is your life purpose or your bliss. It’s what brings you joy and inspires you to get out of bed every day!
Specifically, it is a tool that helps you to find the right balance among:
🧡 what you love,
💪🏽 what you are good at,
🌍 what the world needs and
🤑 what you are paid for!
I am a great fan of Ikigai. I have used for my self and for my clients.
You can apply it in different ways and perspectives: more theoretical, analytical or creative. And why not, from all these points of view at the same time?! Personally, I like it the most. In the workshops I facilitate, this is the way I accompany people to find their ikigai.
A concrete example has been a challenging training day session at Nova Terra Coaching Training & Corporate Development on alignment and flow to improve the quality of “presence” as a coach. I applied a creative version of an Ikigai exercise applied to future professional coaches looking for meaning and purpose (photo above).
It was a great session and I am very grateful to the students for their energie, active participation and insides!I really recommend it!
FIND YOUR IKIGAY AND ENJOY IT!!!
