ID3, also called Three-Dimensional AWE, is an identity-development framework that models personal transformation across three dimensions — Awareness, Wisdom, and Experience.
Created by the coach 📝Ryan Wegenast, ID3 treats a major identity shift not as the loss of one self and the arrival of another, but as a transformation into someone with a different set of priorities, skills, and desires. The three dimensions give the work structure: noticing where one is, understanding what it means, and living the change into being.
The framework reached 📝Cynthia Johnson through her coaching work with Wegenast, in the period when she was moving from a marketing practice toward the study of selfhood. She has credited ID3 as a documented precursor to her current thinking and to 📝Ipseity: Academy of the Self — the language, she has said, for a change she was already moving toward.
