The GROW model was created by Sir John Whitmore, an author and British Racing Driver. in the late 1980s.

coaching quote by Sir John Whitmore

GROW stands for

  • Goal

  • Reality

  • Options

  • Will

The coach guides the coachee to set a goal, and through the will stage they commit to a plan. The reality stage is about assessing the current situation, exploring perspectives and identifying gaps. It is where the coach helps the coachee with perspective and self-awareness. With greater clarity on a situation and on their own strengths and weaknesses, a coachee can develop greater self-awareness leading to greater self-efficacy. The O of the GROW model is the options element and is about brainstorming, assessing, evaluating, selecting and prioritising options and considering strategies for action, and W is for the will and commitment.Every website has a story, and your visitors want to hear yours.
