A Simple Four-Step Structure The GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, Wrap-up) model is one of the most common coaching tools. The framework provides a simple four-step structure for a coaching session: Step 1: Goal Coach and coachee agree on a specific aim, objective and topic for the discussion. Step 2: Reality Both coach and coachee invite self-assessment and offer specific examples to illustrate their points. Step 3: Options Coach elicits suggestions from the coachee by asking effective questions and guides him/her towards making the right choices. Step 4: Wrap-up Coach and coachee commit to action, define a timeframe for their objectives and identify how to overcome obstacles. Self-Coaching: Using the GROW Model on Yourself To improve your performance and develop a roadmap to your personal success, you can also use the GROW model on yourself: identify specific goals you wish to achieve; assess the current situation; list your options and make choices; and, finally, make steps towards your goal specific and define timing.
