Finding out WHO can help

Last week I was in a round table discussion focused on personal and professional growth. One of the points raised was the powerful acronym H.O.W., which is designed to help people remember to be: Honest, Open-minded and Willing. As we sat talking, I began doodling with the letters H, O, and W and realized that when rearranged, they also spell W.H.O. Immediately, the classic Abbot and Costello “Who’s On First” comedy routine came rolling through my head. So, with all due respect and apologies to two great comedians, here is a (much shortened) version I hope you will enjoy.
So W.H.O will help me change my focus?
Yes!
I mean the name.
W.H.O.
The guy with the answers?
W.H.O’s the guy.
That’s what I asked?
W.H.O!
The guy helping me change my focus is….
WHO is that person!
That’s exactly what I am asking.
Well, that’s his name.
That's W.H.O’s name?
Exactly!
Well go ahead and tell me.
I just did, that's it.
That's W.H.O?
Yes.
What's going to help me become a better person?
No.
Well, ok then W.H.O’s going to help?
Exactly!
Sometimes I can get wrapped around the axle trying to do this personal and professional growth thing just the “right way”. 
But there is no right way. Personal and professional growth is always evolving and never arriving. I know WHO is a key and whenever I am stressed I will lean back and remember WHO will help me live to my full potential. Exactly!
If you would like to have a laugh, here's a link to the original text andvideo.
