What do ‘coaches’ actually do?
There are a few different coaching models. Many coaches follow what is known as the GROW model. The GROW model is applied to all forms of coaching, whether it be in a business or ‘life’ context. You book a series of sessions in which you work through the GROW model and continually review your progress towards achieving your goals.G – Goal Your coach will ask you lots of questions to establish specifically what it is that you want to achieve.R – Reality You will work with your coach to identify where you are right now in terms of meeting your goals, the progress you’ve made so far and any obstacles that might be getting in the way.O – Options You will be challenged to look at all the options open to you. You will look at things that you could do, but not necessarily should do.W – Will or Way Forward This is where you turn your ideas into action points. You will agree with your coach what you will do and when you will do it by. This will be reviewed at your next session.
