Conducting growth sessions

You will plan and carry out a coaching session that involves stages G and R of the GROW model. There is a comprehensive explanation of the GROW model on the background page. Here is a shorter synopsis:

The structure of the Live Case (As a reminder, each case involves three separate activities.)

Each module will follow this cycle: Plan, execute, report

• Before the coaching session, write up a plan using course readings or additional research as a resource (1-2 pages).
• Then meet with the coachee and use your plan as a guide for the session.
• The bulk of the report is on how the session went, including successes and failures. What would you do differently next time? (4 to 5 pages).
