Coaching Fundamentals

The name of the model – GROW – is an acronym for the different stages that make up one or more coaching sessions:

• Goal setting, short and long term
• Reality check, exploring the current situation
• Options for action
• Way forward - what is to be done, when, and by whom

Typically, you would start with goal setting and move through the other GROW stages, however, if you are revisiting an issue that has already been discussed, you might start or end with any of the four stages.
