Coaching Model and Techniques

Coaching Model and Techniques PSY-611 Daphne Sutton January 13, 21

Coaching Model and Techniques There were so many amazing models to choose from but of them all I would choose the GROW model. The model was originally developed in the 1980’s by business coaches Graham Alexander, Alan Fine, and Sir John Whitmore. (Mindtools,2020). A great way to think about the grow model is how you would plan a journey. You first decide where you are going which is the goal, and establish where you currently are, your reality. Then you will explore the many routes (options) that it will take to get to your destination. In the final step, you would then establish the will, you want to ensure that you stay committed to making the journey(Leadership & performance,2019). You also want to ensure that you are prepared for any road blocked (obstacles) that may meet you on the way. This model to me yields more results because I can use it to help my families grow each week. They want to see the changes each week towards their goals and that is why we will map it out for them. Each week we will revisit the goals and the progress they have made so far in reaching them. How I would incorporate the GROW model is as follows; G- Goals as I stated previous, I would sit down with my client and ask them what their goals are for the next 12 months. We want to ensure the client is writing down goals they will work hard to maintain, not just any goals. The main goals of my clients currently are to find a career and eventually own a home. So, we would map out their personal goals along with their financial goals so they can get to the overall goal. In the case of my clients wanting a better career and then owning a home the short-term goal would be the career. The long-term goal would be to own a house because that would take time to plan and save. R-Reality – here we will establish a baseline for where they are currently in life with job stability and their search for a better career. I would ask what money they do have saved towards

O-Obstacles- My clients need to be fully aware of the amount of no’s they will receive on their journey to finding a good career. If we do not prepare them for the rejection, they will think the path would be easy. That also goes for looking for a home there are so many requirements that come with owning a house. The client would need to know the obstacles that may come up when he/she starts the process. As a coach I don’t want my clients to think the path is straight with no curves or bumps. The goal is for them to be prepared for everything. W-Wrap up is the final step in the GROW process because now we are combining everything we discussed and putting it all together. I want my client to commit to the goals we went over to get to the goal discussed. I will be that motivator and encourager along the way I will ask the client specific questions which are; 1. What will you do now? What else? 2. What do you feel will stop you from moving forward? 3. How will you keep yourself motivated? 4. When do you feel we should revisit your goals? Daily, weekly or monthly? Lastly, we would decide on a date when we will revisit his/her progress and tweak it as we go. This would allow me to hold my clients accountable when he/she falls off or starts to get off course. Client A is a young mother of 2 who has a small 2-bedroom apartment and a temporary job. As we started working together, we sat down to define her clear goals and the lifestyle she would like to have. The most challenging part was she has been knocked down so much she didn’t see her accomplishing anything. We worked on what was hurting her so she can

Coaching Model and Techniques get to the root of the issue. Once we uncovered her trust issues, we started to go over how her life would be if she had the career of her dreams. How her family would view her if she was successful with her dream house. We went over ways she can motivate herself by looking at all she has done for herself and family with the little she had. We realized she needed to change her career and do something she enjoy instead of another temp job. We also went over what a great career can do for her as far as a house. She started speaking out more and telling me what she loved about customer service. We were able to map out her goals and she then saw the vision. The GROW model is a very powerful model overall because it will yield results however, I understand that all clients won’t react the dame to this approach. Setting goals could be challenging because like client A they can get discouraged. They may also set goals and not achieve them because they feel they aren’t attainable so they will check out. For example; if client A goes to 5 interviews for the week and all of them say no. She may think the next one will say no and so forth so there wouldn’t be any point to try. As I stated earlier you have to give your client the good and the bad. You have to prepare them for the highs and the lows and that makes for a great coach.
