Question
The GROW model is a simple yet powerful framework for structuring your coaching or mentoring sessions. It stands for Goal, Reality, Options, and Way Forward. It helps individuals define clear goals, understand their current reality, explore various options and ways to achieve their goals, and decide on a way forward.
On the other hand, the OSKAR model (Outcome, Scaling, Know-How, Affirm and Action, Review) is a solution-focused coaching model. It focuses on the desired outcome, measures success, identifies resources, affirms positive actions, and reviews progress.
The CLEAR model (Contracting, Listening, Exploring, Action, Review) is a more holistic approach. It starts with a contract or agreement between the coach and the coachee, followed by active listening, exploration of options, taking action, and reviewing progress.
Each model has its strengths and can be used depending on the situation and the individual's needs.
