Four ways to coach. Pick what clicks with how you think.
People think differently. Some need structure. Some need to explore beliefs. Some want to build on strengths.
Try all four in 5 minutes each. See which one feels like it gets you. That's the one you'll use for 12 weeks.
For people who like plans
GROW is for people who like clear steps. You want structure. A path from A to B. Tangible outcomes. This isn't touchy-feely. It's practical: figure out the goal, look at reality, brainstorm options, commit to action.
Goal: "What do you want? What does success look like?"
Reality: "What's happening now? What have you tried? What's in the way?"
Options: "What could you do? What else? What if you had no limits?"
Will: "What will you actually do? When? How committed are you?"
Example: You want better time management. We nail down what that looks like (leaving work by 6pm). Look at what's keeping you late (emails, meetings). Brainstorm options (turn off Slack, delegate tasks). You commit: "I'll turn off notifications during my focus block, starting tomorrow."
For when your beliefs are the problem
Transformational is for when you're stuck in your head. You keep hitting the same wall. You've tried tactics, but something deeper is blocking you. This method goes after beliefs, identity, meaning. Who do you need to become?
We dig into how you see yourself. What you believe about your capabilities. Where those beliefs came from. What's possible if you try on a new story. Less "what should I do?" More "who am I becoming?"
Example: You want to start a business but don't see yourself as an entrepreneur. "Entrepreneurs are bold risk-takers. I'm cautious." We explore that belief. Where'd it come from? Is it true? What if you're resourceful, not reckless? What becomes possible then?
Build on what works
Strengths-based is for when you're tired of fixing what's "wrong." Instead: what's working? What are you naturally good at? When do you feel energized? Let's do more of that. Growth comes from leveraging strengths, not obsessing over weaknesses.
We mine for gold. When have you succeeded? What were you doing? What strengths showed up? How can you use those same strengths to tackle your current challenge? It's less "fix yourself," more "amplify what's already there."
Example: You're job hunting and feeling stuck. We look at when you felt successfulβ that cross-functional project you led. You're great at collaboration, strategy, communication. Your current role? Individual, task-focused. No wonder you're drained. Let's find roles that use those strengths daily.
When everything feels too loud
Mindful is for when you need to slow down. You're reactive. Overwhelmed. Disconnected from what you're feeling. This method helps you pause, notice what's happening in your body, listen to emotions as data. Clarity comes from presence, not more thinking.
We start with breath. Notice what's happening in your body. What emotion is present? What's it telling you? From that grounded place, what becomes clear? Less rushing to action, more tuning in to what you already know.
Example: You're anxious about a presentation. We pause. "Take a breath. What do you notice?" Tension in your chest. Anxiety. "What's the anxiety telling you?" That this matters. That you care about doing well. From that place of knowing what you value, you realize you're over-preparing because you don't trust yourself. What would it feel like to trust?
