What are the key components of the GROW framework and how do they contribute to effective coaching sessions?

The GROW framework consists of four key components: Goal, Reality, Options, and Way Forward. Each component plays a crucial role in effective coaching sessions. The 'Goal' component helps in setting clear objectives for the session. The 'Reality' component assists in assessing the current situation and identifying the gap between the current state and the desired goal. The 'Options' component is about exploring potential solutions to bridge the gap. Finally, the 'Way Forward' component is about committing to actionable steps to achieve the goal. This structured approach ensures that coaching sessions lead to meaningful progress rather than vague, open-ended discussions.
