GROW coaching model - Step 1: Goal

The first step in the GROW coaching model is defining the goal of the coaching trajectory. That includes long term (the central theme of the trajectory) and short term (the goal for every session).

Goals need to be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Acceptable, Realistic and Timely.

GROW coaching model - Step 2: Reality

Step two of the GROW coaching model is becoming aware of the actual situation the coachee is in. The coache's role here is to stimulate self-evaluation with his client, and to identify the obstacles that have been holding the client back.

It's important to not lose oneself in this phase; people have patterns and stories they can repeat and expand on endlessly. Keep on summarising and repeating what you understand from the coachee. Often, this phase of the GROW coaching model reveals underlying fears and convictions that can be worked on during or in between coaching sessions.

GROW coaching model - Step 3: Options

Step three of the GROW coaching model is to generate ideas that can contribute to the solution of the problem. Try to start a creative brainstorming process without censure or conditionality. Generate solutions, then structure it to evaluate every option. If needed, you can also offer some suggestions.

GROW coaching model - Step 4: Will

The fourth and last step of the GROW coaching model is the choice of one option. This is converted into a concrete plan of action. Then the coachee's motivation to follow this plan is maximised.
