Ikigai Kokoro Learning Philosophy
The heart of learning at Ikigai Kokoro is building and promoting a life-long learning mindset, reflective practice and personal mastery. The pursuit of mastery isn’t an endpoint, it’s a journey. It’s an on-going road of discovery, inquiry, reflections, discourse, appreciation and being comfortable in the space of the unknown. Learning doesn’t always have to have an answer, rather it should evoke new awareness. At the heart of it all, to step into the space of learning without pretence, with openness, curiosity and a thirst to learn more about the world around us and who we are. Learning is best self-initiated where the learner is in control of their learning outcomes and does a deep inner world within themselves before inspiring others.
Learning is an on-going process of discovering your unique learning styles and being adaptable to exploring new ways of learning, studying and exploring.
Learning is about change and honouring each moment that life presents.
Learning is the quintessential element of leadership and coaching mastery.
