When someone shares a thought or idea, ask “And What Else?” (AWE) to dig deeper, moving beyond the obvious into the innovative solutions

Why?

People often give the first thing that comes to mind, which may not be the most important or complete thought. AWE signals that you're genuinely interested in hearing more and creates a safe space for the other person to share what's really on their mind, leading to more insightful conversations and a fuller understanding of the situation.

You know it’s working when:

• You have deeper, more thoughtful responses

• People will start revealing information they might have otherwise held back

• Conversations move from a simple question-and-answer format to a more collaborative exploration
