Background
Explore options based on the coachee's
assessment of goals and current reality (as determined in Case 2). The objective of this session is to get your
coachee to commit to specific actions. Drawing on the background reading for this and the previous modules,
you will plan and carry out a coaching session that involves stage O of the GROW model.
There is a comprehensive explanation of the GROW model on the background page for Module 2. Here is a
shorter synopsis:
• Before the coaching session, write up a plan using course readings or additional research as a resource (1-2
pages).
• Then meet with the coachee, and use your plan as a guide for the session.
• The bulk of the report is on how it went, including successes and failures. What would you do differently
next time? (3 to 5 pages).
