So my previous Field Note I mentioned
what the GROW model is and where it
comes from and how you can
find out more information.
The next obvious questions is
Do all coaches use the GROW model?
The answer to that is no.
The GROW model is a fantastic
task-focused tool you can use in many
work situations and in personal situations too
but it has some limitations to it.
So if you’re dealing with somebody or
coaching with things like values, beliefs
things about identity, you know, who a person is
where they’re going in life generally
the GROW model tends to run out of steam
pretty quickly and there’s a whole range
of other models and tools you might use.
So do all coaches use the GROW model?
All coaches tend to be very familiar with it
because it’s a nice simple process.
You can teach your clients it fairly 
quickly if they’re interested in coaching
but no it’s not a model used by all coaches.

So what is the GROW model of coaching?
The reasons I’ve created a Field Note out
of this is in the many workshops I ran last year
in the period of non-Covid I often asked the
question of engineers and people I was working
with if they had heard of the GROW model of coaching
and I was surprised to find that typically
only about 10% had heard of it.
So just a very quick word about the GROW model
and how you can find out more.
It’s one of the most basic and simple models of
coaching, often taught on many coaching courses
and it’s something that can take literally a few
minutes to learn and of course a lifetime to master
like any good coaching model.
So the GROW model originated from a book called
Coaching for Performance by John Whitmore.
It’s an excellent book. I think it’s in something like
the 5th or 6th edition now and well worth a read
around the whole coaching subject of
coaching at work.
And the GROW stands for
G is Goal in terms of the goal...
