GROW Model - Coaching questions to consider

I recently came across the GROW model which I think complements my own RAGE model quite nicely when it comes to inspecting aspirations and goals. It's all about seeking clarity through questions:

Goal - What do you want? What's your desired outcomes (Aspirations)?

  • What would you notice if you were performing in this area more proficiently?
  • What would others notice if you were performing in this area more proficiently?
  • What would be the benefits to your team / family / business / friends of you gaining proficiency in this area?
  • What is the short- and long-term impact of you not enhancing in this area?

Reality - What's your current situation? Be brutally honest about current reality.

  • What is the current state of your proficiency in this area?
  • What have you done till date to develop proficiency in this area?
  • What has helped your progress?
  • What has held you back?
  • How long have you been working on enhancing yourself in this area?
  • Where do you feel stuck?
  • What perceptions about yourself might be getting in your way?
  • Are these perceptions accurate? How do you know?

Options - Exploring possibilities / Expectations. What could you do?

  • What do you feel you need to gain proficiency in this area?
  • What are the possible actions you can take to enhance yourself in this area?
  • What else can you do? Probe deeper
  • Now that you are aware of the possibilities, which one would you try first?
  • What would you like to have happen?
  • If you do nothing, what will be the impact?
  • What does the wiser part of you tell you?
  • If you were coaching someone on enhancing themselves in this area, what might you say to them?
  • If there were no limitations/restrictions, what might you do?
  • What options are within your control?

Will - What will you do? Commitment / Next Steps? 

  • What support do you need to be successful in your next steps?
  • What obstacles do you anticipate? How will you navigate them?
  • How might you motivate yourself when things get tough?
  • Who might be able to help you in achieving your next steps?
