In this 4-part series (this post is part zero), you will learn about one of the most powerful models I use with my life coaching clients to help them get unstuck and escape mediocrity to live the life they really want!
…
If you have a part of your life, whether it be your career, your relationships, your fitness, or something else, where…
- you’re not really happy with your current situation (you would give it maybe a 7 or less out of 10)…
- you haven’t done anything to change the situation in the past few weeks, or even months…
- you WANT things to be better…
…then the GROW model is exactly for you!
Put simply, it’s a way to structure your thoughts that will help you move from “I’d like things to be better, but I don’t know what to do” to “I know exactly what I want, how I will get there, and I will take action to move towards it in the next few days!”
…
The GROW model consits of four main steps:
1. G for Goals
This is where you figure out what your ideal situation would be. You describe it in detail, and visualize it, to make sure you know exactly what you’re aiming for.
2. R for Reality
In this step, you compare your ideal situation to where you are right now. You notice the differences, so you know exactly what you want to change.
3. O for Options
Here you brainstorm a lot of different ways to move from where you are right now to where you want to be.
4. W for Way forward
And in this step, you select a couple of actions you came up with in the previous step, and set a clear deadline to accomplish them! (As well as doing a few more tricks to make sure you’re more likely to take the action.)
…
It might sound simple, but it’s an incredibly powerful model to structure your thinking. If you know you want to change something, but haven’t done anything because you always get overwhelmed by the scope or the number of options, the GROW model is exactly what you need!

This is my message of the hour; coming at a time when I’m taking a long look at my life and wondering where I missed it but more importantly how to turn around all the negatives into positives with tangible results. I’m looking forward to growing into success in all areas of my life with GROW Model.
@Lilly:
Awesome! I’m sure the GROW model will help you get unstuck and start moving towards the life you want
(And if, by any chance, reading about the GROW model won’t be enough, you can always hire a life coach. Wink wink, nudge nudge
