Coaching Others to Grow (Using the GROW Model )
Coaching isn’t solving problems for juniors, it’s helping them solve problems themselves. One effective framework is GROW:
· Goal – What do you want to achieve?
· Reality – What’s happening now?
· Options – What could you do?
· Will – What will you do, and by when?
Example
Junior: “I’m behind on the report.”
Manager asks:
· Goal: “What’s a good outcome?” → Finish by Friday, no late nights.
· Reality: “Where are you?” → 40% done; interrupted by emails.
· Options: “How to reduce interruptions?” → Mute notifications, ask for coverage.
· Will: “What’s your plan?” → Mute 9–11 AM tomorrow; check in at noon.
Why it works – Builds independence, saves time, and respects the learner.
Start using GROW in your next one‑on‑one.
