ABOUT

The Ikigai Expert

Helpingleaders create workplaces where people feel they belong, matter, and do meaningful work.

Drawing on more than a decade of living and working in Japan, Nick brings the ideas of ikigai (meaning), ibasho (belonging), and rolefulness (feeling useful and needed) into practical organisational settings. His keynotes help leaders build healthier cultures, stronger teams, and more sustainable performance by addressing a challenge many organisations still miss: people do their best work when they feel connected to purpose, place, and contribution.

In a world full of burnout, disengagement, and surface-level culture talk, Nick offers a more thoughtful and actionable approach to leadership and employee wellbeing—one that resonates with modern organisations looking to create lasting impact.
