Welcome to another A.W.E Inspired post!

Try following this 3 step approach as you create change.
A – Awareness
What do you want to change? What have you tried before? What is standing in your way? What are you willing to do? What are you willing to give-up? What resources do you need?
W – Work
Action steps – create a plan! What will you do today to start you on the path of making this change? Delegate? Delete? Create a power hour? Network? Turn off the TV? Practice self-care?
E- Evaluation
What worked? What didn’t? How will you need to fine tune your plan?
I challenge you to be A.W.E’d today. What does “life is like a turtle. You won’t get very far unless you stick out your neck.” mean to you?
Of all the things I believe awareness is the key. We often think about changing something but the question is are we aware of the actual problem not the superficial one that we think is staring us in the face. Going deeper will help identify the core issue and it’s at this point that you can begin to take action.

Agreed! If I could only help my clients with one thing – it would be to build awareness around the “big agenda” not the current, pesky, inconvenience! Thanks for your comment!

Hi Lisa!
I love the A.W.E’d approach. Like Linda, awareness is the key here. Until one is aware of what needs to done, accomplished, or achieved, there will be no work. Once one is aware, the work must be disciplined. Good habits and stick-to-it-evness must be present until the goal is reached.
Great article!

I’m liking this AWE approach it can help give each person a better perspective of where to go from here? I love the quote! If we are stuck in our shells waiting for miracles, waiting is all we will do. Great article!

Thanks for stopping by. So thrilled you like the AWE approach. The concepts have been in coaching for ages, I just reworded a bit.
How can you stick your neck out today?
