Ikigai is a Japanese word, meaning a reason to get up in the morning. My children have long been my reason, even if for a while it was a little too early to be getting up!
Recently, I discovered a diagram of four circles converging to access your ikigai and I realised that being a Parent Coach was my ideal ‘reason for getting up in the morning’.
I love parenting, even when it’s challenging and I love contributing meaningfully in people’s lives. I’m not convinced that giving advice works but believe in using; searching questions, storytelling, role playing and humour to help people get more in touch with how they want to live their lives and make this a reality.
A life worth living includes, connection, contribution and challenge and for me that flows to my top three values of, Joy, Making a difference and Growth.
I would love to support your parenting, feel free to call for a chat to see if I can be of any help.
