Coaching model, which can be used as a good way to structure a mentoring conversation.
It can be used to help achieve a goal or solve a problem. It can help explore where they are now, where they want to be and how to get there.
G - goal
R - reality
O - options
W - way forward
Describe the G from the GROW model
Goal.
Clarify their goal.
What do they want?
What are they working towards?
Describe the R from the GROW model
Reality
Clarify their current reality. Where are they now with this issue? What are their current problems and challenges? What approaches have they tried? What resources are available to them? What feedback have they received?
Describe the O from the GROW model
Options.
Brainstorm as many options and ideas as possible which could help move a person from where they are now to where they want to be.
Describe the W from the GROW model
Way forward.
Review the possible options and decide the path forward
Define a clear plan and timescales.
What are the next steps?
What obstacles do you foresee and what is the plan to mitigate them?
What support is needed?
What model can be used to give feedback?
BOOST
B - balanced (+ve / -ve)
O - observed
O - objective
S - specific
T - timely
What are the 3 stages to facilitating good feedback?
- What was their aim? What are the standards / what does good look like?
- How well are the agreed standards being met?
- Plan - how to get current performance to that of the standards?
What questions can be asked in the G phase of the GROW model?
What would you like to focus on today?
Specifically, what do you want to achieve in this area?
How do you want the situation to be different to the way it currently is?
What does good look like?
How would you know if you have succeeded?
What do you want to be happening that isn’t happening now?
What are the main benefits of achieving this?
What questions can you ask in the R of the GROW model?
Reality
What is the current situation?
What is happening at the moment?
What are the important facts as things stand?
What are the current problems?/when and why do they happen?
What’s going well?
What resources do you have?
Who else is involved?
What feedback have you received?
What have you done already?/what have you tried thus far?
What obstacles have you encountered?
What questions can be used in the O phase of the GROW model?
Options
Let’s brainstorm together – what are all the things you could do to move forward in this area?
What are all the things you can think of, which you can do, to get from where you are to where you want to be?
What could you possibly do to change things?
If there were no limitations, what would you do?
What could you do despite the limitations?
What else could you do?… And what else?
What questions can be used in the W phase of the GROW model?
Way forward
Let’s review the options, which of these are you going to do?
When will you do these? Let’s develop a plan
What’s the next step?
What obstacles could get in the way? How can you mitigate these or plan around them?
What support do you need? How will you get this support?
How can I support you?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would rate the chances of you sticking to this plan for the next (x?) months? (Is there anything you need to change or reduce in the plan to give you a better chance of sticking to it?)
