Ikigai Life Coach
Overview
Course description
Ikigai: The art of living with purpose
Ikigai, a profound life philosophy embraced by millions worldwide, encourages individuals to live with intention, seeking fulfillment by harmonizing their passions, skills, and contributions to society. Rooted in Japanese culture, Ikigai offers a path to a meaningful, purpose-driven life, where joy and contribution coexist in perfect balance.
At its core, the word "Ikigai" can be translated as "A reason for being," encapsulating the essence of living with purpose and finding deep satisfaction in both personal and collective pursuits.
A philosophy that enriches both heart and soul
Ikigai is, above all, a way of living—a fusion of wisdom, tradition, and timeless principles that have been cherished for centuries in Japan and passed down through generations. At its core, Ikigai is the art of finding purpose, emphasizing the harmony between what we love, what we are good at, what the world needs, and what we can be rewarded for. It is a holistic approach that considers the entire individual: their passions, talents, and their place in the greater world.
Each person is seen as uniquely gifted, with qualities and dreams that cannot be replicated by anyone else. Ikigai recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, nor a simple path to happiness. Every individual's journey is unique, shaped by evolving passions and life circumstances. The pursuit of Ikigai is a deeply personal exploration, with the ultimate goal being to achieve a sense of balance and fulfillment that resonates within, and extends outward, to enrich the lives of others.

I am impressed!
I thought this is a cheap course, where the basics of Ikigai is explained somehow, but this course is hitting everything on the spot! The concept is well explained and it is a full scale course not just to get an understanding of Ikigai, but also building up your business, acquiring clients and keeping them happy. This is a very good course.

Eye-opening
So far, listening to all the talk about accepting failures and successes, and being able to reflect on them and analyzing your journey to find your true Ikegai is very uplifting! Also, being able to share this with others and turn it into a business/coach is just amazing! I’ve been a teacher for many years and now I could probably teach the adults about finding true happiness within themselves. And what I like is is that you guy is not constant Because we evolve and we change and as we do so that’s when we need to be aware of what is happening to us inside and our surroundings. I love it!

Uplifting
The course so far has opened my eyes into my own personal journey of my Ikigai! I thought my purpose was to enlighten young minds, but now I know that it goes beyond that, which is now the minds of adults that are going through changes in life. The charts and the examples of professionals, are also uplifting and a great guidance to where I should take my knowledge to the next step. Thank you for opening my purpose, it is transforming right now!
