I’m big into models as they can simplify a topic and make it easier to understand. Sometimes the topic of coaching can seem daunting, but it needn’t be. A simple model of coaching is the GROW model.
The acronym to remember is GROW.
- G – Goals. What are the goals of the client? Has the client done a good job and defined SMART goals?
- R – Reality. What is an accurate assessment of the client’s current situation?
- O – Options. What options are available for the client? Generally the more options available, the more likely a good strategy can be selected.
- W – Way forward. What are the decision points around the selection process of which option to take? Decide which option is best and take massive action on the option selected.
Coaching is not just about coaching others, but also about coaching yourself. We can all improve our life situation. By using the GROW model you can have a way towards that brighter future. Be bold and GROW!
