This video introduces
the basic elements of
managing a coaching
session using GROW
The term “coaching”
literally comes from an old
Anglo-Saxon word for a
carriage, which is
something that takes you
from where you are now to
where you want to be.
Therefore coaching is a
vehicle to transport a
person from where they
are now to where they
want to be.
Coaching is facilitating
the learning of others
to help them reach their
unique potential.

1. Use GROW as a
structure to manage
the coaching session
2. Make sure you spend
most of the time on
Options
3. Always, always finish
on the actions part Will
with quality time
A good way of looking at the GROW model is to think about how you would plan a
journey. First, you decide where you want to go. That would be your GOAL.
Then you think about where you currently are – your current REALITY.
You then explore various ways and routes to your destination, these are the OPTIONS.
Once you have considered the most appropriate options to reach your final
destination, what now WILL you do to make sure you are committed and motivated to
start your journey as well as deal with obstacles that you might meet on the way.
