The GROW Model: The Gold Standard for Goal Achievement
Most professional coaching sessions globally are structured around the GROW model. It helps define, structure, and achieve goals efficiently. Developed by Sir John Whitmore, the model remains relevant today due to its simplicity and effectiveness.
GROW stands for:
G (Goal): What do you want?
R (Reality): Where are you now?
O (Options): What could you do?
W (Will / Way Forward): What will you do?
Enhancing GROW with MriyaRun Tools
Theory works best when supported by practice. The MriyaRun project is designed to guide you through all stages of this model.
Deep Dive into the Stages
1. G – Goal
What would you like to focus on today?
What does your ideal future look like in a year?
How will you know you have achieved this goal?
2. R – Reality
What is happening right now? (Facts only).
What have you already tried?
What is the biggest obstacle facing you?
3. O – Options
If success were guaranteed, what would you do?
If money/time were no object, what would be the first step?
Who can help you?
? MriyaRun Tip:
If you're stuck and can't see new options, use the "Dream. Wish. Fantasize" MAC cards. Draw one card blindly — the image on it will prompt an unexpected solution hidden in your subconscious and help you think outside the box.
4. W – Will / Way Forward
What exactly will you do in the next 24 hours?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how motivated are you?
How will you celebrate your first success?
? Action Tools:
To ensure your answers don't remain just thoughts, record your action plan in the MriyaRun Planner. Studies show that writing down your goals increases the likelihood of achieving them by 42%.
For a systematic approach, use the MriyaRun Web Diary. It is the perfect space to turn your plan into regular habits, schedule your weeks, and visually track your achievement statistics.
Tips
Flexibility: You can jump back to previous stages if needed.
