This session introduces the GROW model and provides a brief overview of its history. The model serves as a foundational framework for coaching across many professions and organisations due to its proven success. It supports individuals in achieving personal or team-based goals.
This lesson helps shape your mindset for applying the GROW model. Its purpose is to raise awareness and encourage personal responsibility to unlock potential and reach goals. The aim is not to solve others’ problems or give advice, but to enable the coachee to take ownership of their actions and results.
We begin with the first step in the GROW model: setting goals. While many are familiar with the SMART goal-setting method, this session focuses on applying it to both short-term and long-term goals within the coaching framework.
The next stage focuses on exploring the current reality. This includes techniques that create space, foster empathy, and activate the power of active listening.
Here we explore a variety of techniques for use in the Reality stage, all designed to significantly increase your coaching effectiveness
This session completes the set of Reality stage techniques, teaching you to grasp deeper meanings behind spoken words, be patient with verbal and non-verbal cues, and recognise when it’s time to progress to the next stage.
This step addresses how to encourage the generation of options without giving advice and how to facilitate evaluation of those options without imposing decisions.
In the final stage—Will or Way Forward—we assess the coachee’s intention and readiness to move into concrete action, guiding them to create structured and achievable steps.
