What is the GROW Coaching Model?

Do You Have What It Takes To Grow?

The GROW Coaching Model is fairly straightforward. The sessions are structured around four steps that allow you to realize an objective.

The first step of the process is the establishment of a Goal. Take care of making it specific and measurable. You want to know where you're going and how to know if you're on the right path.

  • What is your vision look like?
  • How would you like things to be?
  • How soon do you want to reach your goal?
The second step is when you determine where you are. When you look at your Reality. Everything we do happens in context; the awareness of our circumstances allows us to shed light on what route we need to take.
  • What are the roadblocks at this moment? What's slowing you down?
  • What have you tried so far?
  • What is the situation that you are currently in?
As a third step you'll find the Options. Which is basically assessing what tools you have of getting you to where you want to be.
  • What paths can you take?
  • What are your strengths?
  • Is there any other way?
The final step is defined as Will. Which is the driving force of the process, your motivation for why you're doing what you're doing. What moves you to action.
  • What actions are you going to take?
  • What will move you along?
  • What is the first step?
As you've noticed the steps end up making the acronym:

Goal
Reality
Options
Will

This is not to say that the steps are sequential; in other words you shouldn't take the steps to be etched in stone; to be followed in order or not at all. Be flexible, you're allowed to review your perceptions, make adjustments, tune it up a little.

This methodology although simple can be a powerful tool that you use to achieve your goals. Give it a shot!
