T-GROW Coaching Model
The T-GROW model was published by Miles Downey in 2003. It builds on the GROW model, with the addition of T for Topic. Downey explains his model in his book, ‘Effective Coaching’T
I think this model represents a shift in the use of coaching principles. As explained earlier, coaching and mentoring have both evolved, and coaching used to be more often linked with a shorter-term relationship, and for coaching for a specific skill or objective. The evolution of coaching principles has meant that they can be applied in a much wider range of areas. The Topic element of the T-GROW model allows for the bigger picture, broader area, or wider environment to be discussed, and helps the coach and coachee to develop their relationship and gain greater understanding on the purpose of their conversations.
