What makes you leap out of bed in the morning? Or perhaps you hit snooze more times than you’d like to admit? It can be easy to get caught up in the day to day and not make time to invest in thinking about how to live a more meaningful life.
“Ikigai” is the Japanese concept for living a life of purpose and the concept has gained prominence globally over the past 5 years. Purpose is a key driver of employee engagement and individual wellbeing. In this half day session, you’ll begin the journey of discovering your Ikigai using the “IKIGAI Card Game”.
This unique coaching game helps to ask powerful questions to find the right direction for your life. The IKIGAI card game takes into account preferences, talents, skills and the realities of the market so you can make a balanced choice.

In this workshop you will explore in a group work the following questions:
・What motivates you?
・How can you live a happy and purposeful live? ・Do you think the current job is suitable for you?
・What is the right job for you?
・How can I make good use of my strenghts in society?
・What do you really want?
・What is necessary for implementing you IKIGAI?

Whether you are an individual looking for hints on your next career step or a people manager who wants to have more focused career conversations and increase engagement, this half day workshop will give you valuable insights and experiences.

【This event will be mainly held in English and a Japanese-English translation will be provided】
