Designed for youths aged 17 - 35, Find Your Ikigai Singapore is a 5 week online programme with an optional 5 week leadership component that helps individuals understand themselves and seek clarity in what gives them meaning and motivation. Knowing your inner why and strengths gives you the key to begin discovering possibilities and guides you in planning for a purposeful career. The programme combines the use of unique and non-traditional elements, such as small - group life coaching, mindfulness and human library stories.

behind find your ikigai SG
Christopher Gordon
Founder of Find Your Ikigai SG |
While there are some youth who are extremely passionate and clear about where they are in headed in life and of the difference they want to make, there are also a good number who feel quite lost as to where they are headed. One of the key challenges of our generation is to empower each youth to write their personal success narrative (anchored on their unique talents/skills, passion and life purpose); empower them to live it out and pursue meaningful careers which are aligned to their personal success narrative.
In 2019, together with my wife Michele and our friends Shane, Shamantha and Humphrey, we launched the Find Your Ikigai SG programme, which was aimed at helping youth to identify their personal success narrative and to empower them to achieve it. The word “Ikigai” is a Japanese word which means “a reason for being” or “the things that make one’s life worthwhile”. The programme incorporates the use of non-traditional tools such as human library sharing, small – group life coaching and mindfulness meditation sessions to deepen the learning and personal growth of the youth and help them to achieve deeper realisations and to transform their lives. |

"become who you want to be"
The word “Ikigai” is the Japanese word that means a “reason for being” or “the things that make life worthwhile”. Ikigai (ick-ee-guy) is a Japanese concept which enables you to live a long, happy and fulfilled life through 4 elements: passion, mission, vocation and profession.
