But that’s on the down-low. Don’t tell anyone else.
Four Practical Tips for Asking “And What Else?”
To make sure the magic of AWE happens, follow a few simple
guidelines:
Stay Curious, Stay Genuine
Just because you’ve now got a fabulous question to use, that
doesn’t mean you can slip into a bored groove when asking it.
As you build this habit, don’t just practice asking “And what
else?” Use Dan Coyle’s principles of Deep Practice from the
chapter on habit building and get used to asking the question with
genuine interest and curiosity. For bonus points, practice listening
to the answers.
Ask It One More Time
Let’s start with the understanding that as a
general rule, people ask this question too
few times rather than too many. And the
way to master this habit is to try it out and
experiment and see what works. As a guideline, I typically ask it at
least three times, and rarely more than five.
