AWE – ‘And What Else?’ – that magic little question, celebrated by Michael Bungay Stanier and used so often in coaching, gently nudges you to explore deeper, reach higher and dream bigger. It encourages you to unravel the intricacies of your thoughts, to confront what holds you back, and to envision the boundless possibilities that await you. It can invite you to dream and to experience that dream in all its glorious detail.

By asking you ‘And what else?’ your coach is inviting you to fully empty your thoughts, fears and aspirations out into the coaching space so that you can examine them, challenge the veracity of them, marvel at them, laugh at them. You might choose to hold some of them as sacred and reassemble them into a tapestry of thoughts that constitutes a healthy, growth mindset essential for a flourishing life..

This little ‘AWE’ question can lead to truly awe inspiring results. A dictionary definition of  ‘awe’ tells us that it means ‘to fill with wonder’.  To say that we have been filled with wonder at what our coaching clients have had the courage and  capacity to overcome and to achieve is only touching on how full it makes our hearts feel. We salute any of our coachees who might be reading this now. You are truly AWEsome!

One of the wonders of nature is how the tiny seed breaks forth from the dark earth and transforms into a plant or a tree. Dr. Jean Houston talks about this phenomenon when she talks about ‘Entelechy’. It is the entelechy of an acorn to become the oak tree or the tadpole to become the frog. We all have this coding inside us to become something radically greater than our beginnings. She refers to our entelechy as our potential selves, our higher selves that we already have all of the necessary ingredients to become.

Coaching serves as a compass guiding you towards embodying your entelechy, your highest potential self. Through exploration and action, your coach helps you translate your dreams into reality, supporting you as you step into your greatness and make your unique mark on the world. Dr. Houston talks about being ‘a midwife to the soul’. A good coach can be the midwife to your full potential awesome self as a professional, a leader, a change maker.
