Nicholas Kemp is a father, husband, Japanologist, researcher, solopreneur, and author of IKIGAI-KAN: Feel a Life Worth Living. He is the founder and head coach of Ikigai Tribe, a small community of educators, psychologists, coaches, and trainers who serve their personal communities using the ikigai concept.
It was April 1998 when Nicholas was introduced to the word ikigai – a word that has enriched his life and made it worth living. He had returned to Tokyo to teach English at an Eikaiwa school, a commercial English conversation school. On his first day of work, while he was walking to a café on his lunch break, a Japanese co-worker asked him what my ikigai was. Unfamiliar with the word, he asked for its definition. His co-worker’s explanation filled him with excitement and left him intrigued. He couldn’t believe the Japanese language had a single word that encapsulated ‘What makes our life worth living; the reasons we battle on through life’. Upon returning to the office, he immediately shared the word with his fellow English conversation teachers. The following day, keen to learn more about ikigai from his Japanese co-worker, he was disappointed to learn that she had been transferred to another school. More immediate matters got in the way that day, the word ikigai quickly went into hibernation somewhere in the recesses of his brain, and his life moved on. 20 years later, he encountered this word again and has made it his life’s work to train educators, psychologists, coaches, and professionals this concept while dispelling any myths.
