Ikigai & DCL
Purpose Meets Execution
It’s easy to stay busy while losing clarity in day-to-day work.
This session helps professionals align purpose with execution using two powerful frameworks: Ikigai and DCL (Direction. Capacity. Leverage.).
Busy ≠ Impact
Fast-paced, delivery-driven environments often create motion without meaning.
Professionals and teams struggle with:
Noise replacing focus
Activity replacing results
Speed replacing direction
Without clarity, even capable people drift into reactive work.
This session exists to restore focus and intent.
What We’ll Explore
Ikigai (Why): Identifying the overlap between what matters to you, what you’re good at, what creates value, and how you contribute.
DCL (How): Turning clarity into action through:
Direction: Choosing the right problems and priorities
Capacity: Building the skills, energy, and systems to execute
Leverage: Applying effort where it compounds for maximum impact
Session Format
This is a highly interactive session—focused on guided reflection, practical examples, and discussion rather than a one-way presentation.
Participants will engage in:
Guided self-reflection exercises
Practical, work-relevant examples
Group discussion and shared learning
The session is designed to be practical, reflective, and immediately applicable to individual roles, team dynamics, and leadership decision-making—especially within technology and delivery-driven environments.
