The Power of Awe: A Leadership and Life Superpower

I am currently experiencing a lot of awe. Perhaps it’s because I’m surrounded by vast mountains, pristine lakes, and breathtaking landscapes whilst visiting Tyroll. Being in nature seems to be the easiest and most accessible way to evoke this powerful emotion. It stops me in my tracks, expands my perspective, and makes me feel both small and deeply connected at the same time.

But I don’t always have access to dramatic landscapes, so at home, I’ve built a practice to train my awe muscle—I run a daily awe Instagram account where I post a photo of something that symbolises my experience of awe that day. It forces me to slow down, notice, and appreciate the extraordinary within the ordinary.
