Ikigai x Softskills Engagement Flow
1. Ikigai discovery session
Find your why. Shape your how.
✨ What’s this about?
You’ve probably heard of ikigai—but this isn’t just about finding “your purpose.”
It’s about noticing the things that light you up.
It’s about connecting your values, your vibes, and your next move.
In this session, you’ll explore what matters to you.
No pressure to have it all figured out—just space to reflect, feel, and start where you are.
🧭When a Discovery Session can really help
- You want to express your strengths and values more clearly—for a job, interview, or career change
- You are stepping into a new role and wondering how to lead or connect
- You are feeling a bit lost and want to reset how you work or live
- You are entering a new chapter—like study abroad or returning to work—and want to feel grounded
- You just want to talk things out, even if you’re not sure where to start
💡 Try this quick self-check
If jumping straight into a session feels like too much—no worries. I recommend starting with a free tool called the StandOut Assessment.
It helps you explore questions like:
- When do you naturally shine?
- How do you tend to influence the people around you?
In just 15–20 minutes, you might discover a surprising “That’s so me” moment. We’ll look at your results together during the session, and you’ll start to see your strengths take shape in a way that feels more real.

If English isn’t your first language, afer creating your account, I recommend changing the language settings so you can take the assessment in your native language.
💬 What to expect during the discovery session?
- Real talk, not lectures
- Reflection prompts that actually makes sense
- A personal ikigai map that helps you see your own pattern
- One small action to take right away

2. Interpret the meaning
Ikigai starts with words. Softskills bring them to life.
💡What’s next after the discovery?
In your Discovery Session, you’ll tap into the words that reveal your strengths, values, and what matters most to you.
But knowing the words is just the beginning. Turning them into action—that’s the next step.
If you’re looking for clarity, direction, or just someone to help connect the dots, a follow-up session is where we start putting things in motion.
🙋♀️FAQ – You’ve got questions? Cool.
Q1. Can I just take the results and do my own thing?
A: 100%. If you’re self-driven, that’s honestly the best way to turn your why into your way. Go for it!
Q2. What if I need some extra help figuring it all out?
A: That’s what the follow-up sessions are for. When you’re ready, book a follow-up session.
Q3. How many sessions do I need?
A: Totally your call. One at a time, whenever you feel like you need a little boost.
✨Why this matters
Your words reveal something powerful—your values, your energy, your direction. But reflection alone isn’t enough.
Ikigai grows when what you feel lines up with what you do. Softskills are what turn that insight into presence, choices, and real-world change.
This isn’t therapy. It’s guided reflection—so you can move with clarity and act in a way that feels like you.
🎯 Ready to move from insight to action?
In a follow-up session, we’ll narrow in on the softskills that matter most to you, the ones that can amplify your strengths and help your ikigai show up in what you do.
Book a session when you’re ready. I’ll be here to walk through it with you.

3. Design a learning path
With purpose, not just performance.
🎒Got a list of skills you want to level up?
If you’ve just discovered a bunch of softskills you want to work on – communication, aglie mindset, leadership, negotiations – you are not alone.
But here’s the thing: Going after them all at once with random YouTube videos and half-finished online courses can leave you stuck or scattered.
That’s where I come in.
Together, we’ll co-create a learning path that makes sense for you, your job, your lifestyle, your energy level. No more guesswork. Just a path that fits.
🔧What we’ll do
- Zoom in on the softskills that matter most to your context
- Set realistic goals (that aren’t soul-crushing)
- Choose learning methods that actually fit your style
- Build momentum without burnout
🤝Why this works
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all curriculum. It’s a flexible, personalized roadmap that keeps your ikigai in view while you build the skills to bring it to life.
Your “how” deserves just as much attention as your “why.”
🚀Let’s build your softskills plan—your way, your pace.
Start designing a learning path that actually works for your real life.

4. Learn in bilingual mode
Navigate cultures with clarity and heart.
🌐Working across languages? Let’s make it work for you.
Whether you’re a Japanese speaker wanting to grow your confidence in English, or an English speaker trying to feel more natural in Japanese, this isn’t about grammar. It’s about how you show up when you speak.
Bilingual communication isn’t just translation—it’s presence, tone, and nuance. It’s about getting your message across and staying true to yourself.
I offer one-on-one bilingual coaching to support you as you grow your softskills in both languages—with cultural empathy, not just vocabulary lists.
🧭Who is this for?
- Japanese speakers who want to lead or communicate better in English
- English speakers working in Japan or with Japanese teams
- Anyone stuck between “I understand the words” and “I don’t feel confident using them”
👀What it looks like
- Coaching in both English and Japanese, depending on your comfort level
- Real conversations, roleplays, and feedback based on your goals
- Support while you build softskills like clarity, confidence, and listening—across languages
🤝Why it matters
Learning how to speak and connect across cultures is a skill that lasts a lifetime.
When you combine language with presence, everything changes.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
💬Let’s build your voice—in both languages.

5. Capture / share the ikigai moments
Make your purpose visible. And unforgettable.
📱Show the world what drives you.
That little moment when your eyes light up. When you’re in your zone. When you helped someone, made something, felt something real. That’s an ikigai moment—and yes, people can feel it even through a screen.
Whether you’re an individual or a team, sharing your story online doesn’t have to be perfect. You don’t need pro gear or a marketing degree—just a smartphone, some intention, and the right guidance.
Let’s make your ikigai moments visible—and meaningful to others.
🎯What we’ll explore
- What counts as an “ikigai moment” (hint: it’s not always big)
- How to notice it when it happens
- How to capture it—photos, short videos, writing, even behind-the-scenes vibes
- Basic tools and strategies for social media storytelling (that don’t overwhelm you)
💡Why this matters
In a noisy world, realness stands out. Showing your purpose in action can connect you with others, open new doors, or simply remind you why you do what you do.
Self-promotion doesn’t have to feel cringe—it can feel aligned. And just like softskills, you get better at it the more you try.
