The Story Of My Life - IKIGAI
The Story of My Life: Discovering Your IKIGAI with LEGO Serious Play®
In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly drives us. We often find ourselves caught between personal expectations, professional obligations, and the desire for deeper meaning. But what if you could tap into a method that not only helped you explore your life’s purpose but also gave you practical steps to align your career and personal goals with that purpose? Enter “The Story of My Life”, a unique IKIGAI workshop designed to help you discover your true purpose using the transformative power of LEGO® Serious Play® (LSP).
Your story is waiting to be built—discover your IKIGAI, brick by brick, and create a life filled with purpose and passion.
What is IKIGAI?
IKIGAI, a Japanese concept, refers to “a reason for being” or the sweet spot where your passions, strengths, and what the world needs all intersect. It’s the place where you find fulfillment and flow, where work and life no longer feel like separate pursuits but part of a harmonious whole. Discovering your IKIGAI is the key to living a life filled with meaning and purpose.
But finding that balance—especially in today’s fast-paced world—isn’t always easy. That’s where The Story of My Life workshop comes in.
The Power of LEGO Serious Play® in Discovering IKIGAI
LEGO Serious Play® is more than just building with bricks. It’s a hands-on, minds-on method designed to unlock creative thinking and deeper insights. In The Story of My Life workshop, we use LSP to help you visualize and build the key elements of your personal and professional journey, piece by piece. The tactile, playful nature of LSP allows you to break through mental barriers, tap into your subconscious, and surface ideas and perspectives that might otherwise remain hidden.
By building your story—literally—you create a tangible representation of your life’s passions, skills, and values. You’ll walk away with more than just a model; you’ll have a clear, actionable vision of your IKIGAI.
Why LEGO Serious Play® Works
There’s something truly special about combining play with purpose. The power of LEGO Serious Play® lies in its ability to engage both the logical and creative sides of the brain. When we build with our hands, we unlock new ways of thinking that help us tackle complex problems and see things from fresh perspectives.
For many participants, the experience of physically building their life story creates a powerful “AHA” moment. As the pieces come together, so do the insights about what truly drives them and how they can align their lives with their purpose. The process is as enlightening as it is enjoyable—and the results are lasting
What You’ll Experience in the Workshop
The Story of My Life workshop is designed to be a deeply personal and reflective experience. Here’s what you can expect:
· Building Your Story: Through guided exercises, you’ll use LEGO Serious Play® to construct models representing your past experiences, current challenges, and future aspirations. These models will serve as a foundation for discovering the key elements of your IKIGAI—your passions, strengths, and purpose.
· Uncovering Your Purpose: As you build, you’ll engage in meaningful discussions that help you explore the intersections of what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. The physical act of building encourages new ways of thinking, allowing you to gain deeper insights into your personal and professional life.
· Connecting the Dots: The workshop doesn’t stop at self-discovery. We focus on practical application, helping you map out actionable steps to align your career and personal life with your IKIGAI. Whether you’re seeking a career transition, wanting to infuse more purpose into your current role, or simply exploring your next steps, you’ll leave with a clear plan for how to move forward.
