There is always one moment of deep insight in our life we find the AAHA effect - Aim, Audit, Hash out and Act.
A coach helps you take the dip; helps you take a look inside yourself and takes you through the process of self-discovery of all the solutions which we believe is available with us already.
This process of ‘holy-dip’ and the discovering your AAHA! Moments is called ‘Coaching Conversations’.
GROW is one of the popular models of coaching conversations.
* First is identifying the G - goal, aim, in which you help your coachee to identify where is it that they want to be and the goal they want to achieve.
As a coach, it is your responsibility to help the coachee think thoroughly and decide the goal which is important for them.
* After identifying the aim, the coachee should be helped to assess where he/she is at this moment. This process is called, R - Reality, Audit.
The coachee may also be challenged at this stage by questioning what got them to this stage; what has worked for them, what are their strengths and what has been in the way of them and their goal.
* As a coach, your responsibility is to help the coachee to hash-out the all the clutter in his/her mind.
The key is, empowering questioning and listening. You will help the coachee to shift from an un-resourceful state to a more resourceful state; from problem-focus towards solution focus; solutions, which the coachee feels work best for them. You can help them reflect upon what all they can explore that they haven’t, yet; options, which are in-sync with coachee’s values and beliefs.
This process is the O - Options, Hashing out
* Next comes the W - Way forward, the action. After the coachee has thoroughly evaluated all of his available options, you need to help them to form an action plan.
This action plan has to come from coachee, and you help them by asking about when would they like to start working on this plan? What are the next steps they would like to take? Don’t forget to check their commitment levels and when you will follow-up on the progress.
