How to Coach with the GROW Model

Coaching is the best way to develop the people around you. And the best-known approach is the GROW Model. It's perfect for beginner coaches and will continue to serve you for many years. So, here's how to coach with the GROW model.


Coaching is one of the best ways a leader or Project Manager can develop the people around you. In fact, I believe that Coaching is the best way a leader or Project Manager can develop the people around you.

Awareness
The first task of a coach is to help evoke awareness of all of the relevant facts around the issue that the person you’re coaching is grappling with. Often, when we are faced with a problem, especially an urgent one, we dive in, and focus on only the most obvious information.

The presumption built into coaching is simple…
the more precise and accurate our awareness is, the better is our ability to select the best choices

Responsibility
The second key aspect of coaching is to help the learner to take responsibility for their choices.

GROW is an acronym. Indeed, the full acronym is GROW ME:
• Goal – Reality – Options -Will
• Monitor - Evaluate

Goal: The Purpose of the Coaching Session
Reality: Coaching for Awareness
Options: Coaching to Unlock Possibility
Will: Coaching to Secure Responsibility
Monitor and...
Evaluate: Follow-up to the Coaching Conversation
