70% of companies state that coaching has had a positive impact on their business results - according to a study conducted by the International Coaching Federation (ICF)  in 2022.

โ›ˆ๏ธ We are living times of uncertainty and rapid change, effective leadership is more important than ever. As leaders, we need to foster a culture of engagement and empowerment within our teams to successfully navigate these challenging times. Coaching skills play a central role in achieving this goal.

In case you have not heard of it before, let me share with you how the GROW model (developed by Sir John Whitmore) provides a simple and effective framework for coaching conversations:

๐ŸŽฏ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’‚๐’๐’”: Clearly define the desired coaching outcome or goal 
๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ๐‘น๐’†๐’‚๐’๐’Š๐’•๐’š: Assess the current situation and identify any challenges or obstacles
๐ŸŽจ๐‘ถ๐’‘๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’๐’”: Brainstorm a range of possible solutions or approaches
๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐‘พ๐’Š๐’๐’: Create a concrete action plan with specific steps and timelines
