- 2. Intent of Session The aim of this session is to: • Be able to apply the GROW model to coaching sessions • Use the GROW model for effective, structured methodology for goal-setting and problem-solving
- 3. Why use the GROW model? • Easy to understand, straight-forward to apply, thorough • Simple structured framework • Breaks down a problem into constituent parts, making it easier to develop solutions • Helps those being coached to develop the solutions themselves – improving their learning experience
- 4. The GROW Model TOPIC Initial understanding GOAL For session OPTIONS What’s possible? REALITY Who/what/where/ how much? WILL Clarity/commitment /support GOAL - what do you want? REALITY - what is happening? OPTIONS - what could you do? WILL - what will you do?
- 5. Examples Questions for GOAL • What is it you would like to discuss? • What would you like to achieve? • What would you like from (to achieve in) this session? • What would need to happen for you to walk away feeling that this time was well spent? • If I could grant you a wish for this session, what would it be? • What would you like to be different when you leave this session? • What would you like to happen that is not happening now, or what would you like not to happen that is happening now? • What outcome would you like from this session/discussion/interaction? • Is that realistic? • Can we do that in the time we have available? • Will that be of real value to you?
- 6. Examples Questions for REALITY • What is happening at the moment? • How do you know that this is accurate? • When does this happen? • How often does this happen? Be precise if possible. • What effect does this have? • How have you verified, or would you verify, that this is so? • What other factors are relevant? • Who else is relevant? • What is their perception of the situation? • What have you tried so far?
- 7. GROW Model - REALITY Clarity about…… • The issue • The environment • Other people • Him / herself • Business culture • Own responsibilities
- 8. Example Questions for OPTIONS • What could you do to change the situation? • What alternatives are there to that approach? • Tell me what possibilities for action you see. Do not worry about whether they are realistic at this stage. • What approach/actions have you seen used, or used yourself, in similar circumstances? • Who might be able to help? • Would you like suggestions from me? • Which options do you like most? • What are the benefits and pitfalls of these options? • Which options are of interest to you? • Rate from 1-10 your interest level in/the practicality of each of these options. • Would you like to choose an option to act on?
- 9. GROW Model – OPTIONS • As many ideas as can be generated • Theirs - not yours • Don’t evaluate!
- 10. Example Questions for WILL • What are the next steps? • Precisely when will you take them? • What might get in the way? • Do you need to log the steps in your diary? • What support do you need? • How and when will you enlist that support?
- 11. GROW Model - WILL What will you do? • Make decisions • Convert ideas into actions • Commit
- 12. What would you like to achieve as an output from this conversation? How would you know that this goal has been achieved? On a scale of 1-10 how important is this goal compared to your other priorities? Is that realistic in the time period available? (What would be realistic?) What is happening at the moment? How is this affecting your end goal? What have you tried so far? How effective has this been? What could you do to move towards your goal? (and what else?) What approaches/actions have you seen used that may help? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these options? Would you like to choose an option to act on? What are your next steps? What might get in your way? On a scale of 1-10 how committed are you to making this happen? When do you intend to take the first action? Quick GROW! G R O W
