I use the GROW model:
G – Goal (The client’s goal for the session; a clear purpose understood by both client and coach)
R – Reality (Where they are and what’s going on for them)
O – Options (Ideas and brainstorming – what they COULD do to move forwards)
W – Will Do (Their actions – what they WILL do to move forwards). From 1995 to Present (20 years)
