"Karaoke Life Coaching is an immersive and engaging experience that integrates relationship systems coaching, game design, new media communications and technology, and expression through music. Karaoke Life Coaching focuses on awareness and development, through social-emotional-relational-creative intelligence capacity building and collaborative skills training. It is formatted into 5-7 minute facilitated sessions that integrate a coaching exercise with performance. Participants can be solo or in a group for a shared experience. Inspired by private karaoke rooms in Toronto's Little Korea and Hong Kong, and family karaoke embedded in Filipino culture, Karaoke Life Coaching recreates the aesthetic of these intimate spaces; time spent, not necessarily talking with each other, but still engaging in positively generative activities, experiencing cathartic outcomes through the emotional release song allows."
