About this course

There are a number of ways that you can recognise your own value and the benefits that this can bring in both your personal life and at work. You might identify your value through your relationships, your happiness, your purpose or many other things.

This Personal Development course will look into the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai. There is no direct English translation, but it’s a term that embodies the idea of happiness in living, or your reason for getting up in the morning. It is composed of two words: iki, meaning life, and gai, describing value or worth. Westernised cultures have interpreted this philosophy into the Ikigai Venn diagram comprising of; what you love, what the world needs, what you can be paid for and what you are good at.

This training is suitable for all levels of employees. Employers, managers, supervisors, and employees alike should be aware of their value and in turn, it could create a more supportive workplace culture.

good course

interesting hope i can make changes

Yes really good point

Good course

Introduction to self discovery

I had never heard of IKIGAI before. Now explained, it looks like a valuable tool to improve wellbeing, self-esteem and self-worth. Excellent presentation on the structure and then the actions to potentially change your life and / or your personal effectiveness.

Clear, helpful and interesting

I really enjoyed the simple way this course was structured and the useful links to further reading.

Great content in this short course

Great content. I enjoyed taking this course. It was very informative, and I enjoyed the slightly offbeat sense of humour used to get the points across. I would take more of iHasgo training, both in and out of my work. Couldnt really fault anything in particular. Thanks.

This topic was well covered

The topic was well covered, and the course was very well conceived and designed using motion graphics and real people. Could it go even further if the training gets updated? There is always room for improvement. Some courses have Q & A testing as they go along in ones and twos, and some have a longer 15 question and answer test at the end, and I think its best to have longer question and answer content at the end of each module. I just feel that it is better remembered than merely answering one or two questions correctly. For example, the GDPR is the more memorable section for me because I failed it at first, and then passed it after reviewing the content and testing myself before taking the test again weeks later.

Very informative

The course made me feel more confident in my role.
