What If It Works? The Encouragement Mug

Before every beginning come the questions. What if it goes wrong? What if I embarrass myself? What if everyone is watching?

The mug asks it in German: Und was, wenn’s klappt? – and what if it works?

This mug asks the one question that is almost always missing.

The question nobody asks

Anyone starting something new has a plan B for every case except the best one. Und was, wenn’s klappt? runs all the way round the mug, red on pink, and simply turns the worry around. No motivational poster, no “you’ve got this” with three exclamation marks. Just one question, every morning, until the answer is in.

The line wraps once around the mug. Turn it and you read it word by word, as in the video.

An encouragement gift for grown-ups

For anyone about to jump: a new job, the first client of a new business, the week before an exam, handing in your notice, a move to a new city or a fresh start after a break-up.

Good for your own desk, too. If you work as a coach, you ask this question all day anyway. Now it sits on the table.
