GROW Model

The GROW Model is a simple four-step method for goal setting and problem solving.

Goal

The Goal is the end point, where do you want to be.

The goal has to be defined in such a way that it is very clear to the client when they have achieved it

Reality, right now

The current Reality is where are you right now.

What are the issues, the challenges, how far are you away from your goal?

Options and Obstacles

There will be Obstacles stopping you from where you are now to where you want to go. What are they?

Once Obstacles have been identified, how will you deal with them? What are your Options?

Way Forward

Convert the Options into action steps to achieve your goal. These are the Way Forward.

Include When and by Whom and the Willingness to do it.
