    • 24. GROW: Goal Setting: What type of Goal?Long-Term Goals / Visionary Goals 1. Characteristic: they are really big and ambitious, e.g.: become the market leader (corporate level), become Chief Rep. (personal level), winning a gold medal. 2. Characteristic: External factors may be crucial: for achieving them factors matter, which you CANNOT control, e.g.: performance of competitors / corporate level helpful relations of competitors for the Chief Rep. Position / personal level A long-term goal is desirable: Having one is motivating. It can be the inspiration for our mid-term / performance related goals. Types of Goals: Long-Term and Mid-Term (1)GROW
    • 25. GROW: Goal Setting: What type of Goal?Mid-term Goals / Performance Goals 1. Characteristic: they are smaller and easier to achieve, e.g. : within 6 months, 95% of our products will pass the quality test our group sells 10,000 more packages of medicine X by next month I will run 1,000 meters in 3 minutes by next February. 2. Characteristic: These goals CAN be influenced / controlled by us. They are measurable and we can help that they are met, e.g.: improve quality control circles improve marketing activities / employ more sales personnel training A mid-term / performance related goal is necessary: to do your work and to bring us closer to the long-term goal Types of Goals: Long-Term and Mid-Term (2)GROW

Do not impose your solution on the coachee.Some goals may have to be adjusted or changed, if the next step, the reality check shows that the goal is not realistic or solvable!GROW
    • 28. GROW: Reality Check A: “I have a longstanding problem.” B: “What have you done so far?” Raising awarenessWhy this step?GROW
    • 29. GROW: Reality Check: Questions to help the coachee check reality Generally speaking in this phase of coaching questions like What? Who? Where? When? How much? will be dominant. Some examples:REMEMBER: Coaching is done to help the coachee help him/herself to solve a problem. THEY should solve the problem, not YOU. Do not impose your solution on the coachee.GROW
    • 30. GROW: Options CheckEncourage them to speaking out “impossible” solutions (they might have the seed for a good solution in them). Breaking negative attitudes Why this step, what is important? THE AIM IS: find as many solutions / as many alternatives as possible. GROW
    • 31. GROW: Options CheckDon’t hide it. If you have something to contribute, do so. But be careful how you do it. A good way is the following: ”I could think of some more options. Do you want to hear them?” They will be willing. Make sure that your options are NOT an order, are not necessarily the best. Do not go into every detail of your idea - it is not you who should solve the problem. Make sure that they are just a one point on the Option list, no better and no worse than the other points. You have a good suggestion for the coachee? GROW
    • 32. GROW: Options CheckStep 1: Let the coachee note down ALL options an Option List. Step 2: Select the best options: Go through the list again. Look at every single option. Pick out the most likely (might be a combination of more than one item). Balance the options, the good and the bad, the disadvantages and the advantages against each other, e.g. might be too time consuming, might not fit personality of the coachee, might lack certain hard skills to do it, etc. Step 3: Check options against the goal: Will this option help to achieve the goal the coachee was setting him/herself earlier?What to do with all the options? GROW
    • 33. GROW: Options Check: Questions to help the coachee find the a wide variety of options Do not hide your suggestions: say: I have a suggestion. Do not try to direct the coachee to accept your suggestion through your questionsREMEMBER: Coaching is done to help the coachee help him/herself to solve a problem. THEY should solve the problem, not YOU. Do not impose your solution on the coachee.GROW
    • 34. GROW: What? When? Who? Will be achieved by them answering a lot of questions. The main ones are: ”Which options will you chose?” “Who must be informed?” “When will you begin and when will you end?” ”What kind of support do you need?”Why this step? THE AIM IS: Sent them out with a clear plan of what to do and whenGROW
    • 35. GROW: Will?Answering the “Will?” Question: You have to ensure that the coachee sticks to his plan. Method: Your final question will be: “ how sure are you that you really finalise this option to achieve the aim?” If the coachee is unsure, he/she should be motivated to cross out some things on the plan Or he/she could give him/herself a little more time. Other important tasks: Be tough with a time commitment. Make the coachee name a STARTING date and an END. Talk about obstacles: Addressing them prepares the coachee. What is your role - Get a commitmentGROW
