BFH & Ikigai

IKIGAI Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a Japanese concept that translates to "a reason for being" or "the value of living". It represents the intersection of your passions, skills, the needs of the world, and what you can get paid for, giving you a sense of purpose and a reason to wake up each morning.

It serves as a quiet framework across the House, aligning career strategy with personal aspirations and wellbeing. It acts as a consistent lens for testing choices and ensuring alignment.
