Leverage the Growth Mindset with the GROW Model SMART goals
What you'll learn
- Learn the GROW model of coaching
- Develop a Growth Mindset in you and others
- Apply the GROW model to any life and work challenges
- Teach the GROW model to build thinking skills in your organisation
- Define Goals and the actionable next steps

Requirements
- I recommend that you have about 4 hours available over 7 days - because there are three walk-through personal exercises that could take you 30 minutes each, and then maybe a practice 'coach' with someone.
- You will get maximum benefit by working through the exercises and a couple of follow-up real 'practice' sessions with someone.
Description
You cannot coach a finite mindset - a mindset that is stuck in self-limiting beliefs and self-narratives.
Introduce the Growth Mindset to your client - a belief in possibilities greater than now. If it doesn't sit well, maybe move on.
Building on the GROW model—Goal, Reality, Options, Will—we show you how to use it to shift leadership conversations from reactive to forward-looking. Managers will be able to use this structure to think more clearly, take ownership, and inspire the same mindset in their teams.
Unlock the power of a growth mindset by learning how to embed coaching into everyday leadership. We will help you develop the skills to guide managers in leading with purpose, curiosity, and a commitment to continuous improvement. By using coaching tools that promote reflection, feedback, and goal clarity, you'll empower others to lead their teams toward long-term success—not just short-term results.
You’ll learn how to support managers in setting SMART goals that are ambitious, measurable, and aligned with personal and team development. Through practical coaching techniques, you’ll help them clarify their objectives, explore possibilities, and build actionable plans. You’ll also guide them in staying focused, removing distractions, and aligning actions with priorities—essential traits of a growth-oriented leader.
Finally, you’ll integrate the 4 keys—Engagement, Enablement, Encouragement, and Evaluation—to foster a coaching culture rooted in trust and learning. This course helps you turn leadership into a catalyst for growth—for yourself and for others.
Who this course is for:
- Life coaches looking to become management coaches
- Management development coaches looking to improve their impact
- Emerging leaders
- First and second-line managers
- Mentors

The Growth Lab is committed to our client's personal and professional growth. Our clients are motivated individuals and forward-thinking companies who are prepared to challenge and be challenged in their pursuit of future growth.
We are particularly interested in building personal resilience, having come out of the pandemic where many of us have both lost and found. Although, of course, we have lost people and our sense of security and stability, in some cases, we have discovered new strengths in ourselves and the value of those around us. At the Growth Lab, we want to see a world that takes hold of all personal and professional discoveries and enables and encourages us to innovate in every aspect of life in pursuit of balance and fulfilment while impacting our society.
Collectively, our team has experience and qualifications in engineering, the performing arts, business, academia, digital, programme management, recruitment, coaching, mentoring, teaching, wellbeing, and events management.
