Description
From the author of the 4 Steps of Powerful Coaching, Create a Resilient Project Management and Delivery Culture, and Strengths in the Workplace,
over 1,000 students enrolled for the predecessor of this course, previously focused on project teams only, with a star rating over 4.5.
The course has been expanded so much by The Growth Lab, that we have issued it as a new course with a new name.
There are two clear concepts that you need to take away from this course. You will
learn how to refine and prioritize actionable goals for yourself, and you will
learn to develop those around you.
You will learn a simple structure for setting ambitious, achievable, and actionable goals, applying this to yourself, and to others.
With clear
specific,
measurable,
aligned,
realistic, and
time-boxed goals (SMART)
you can keep yourself on track and learn how to confidently say no to others when it is a reactive distraction. To get to these smart goals you need to
Define them.
Refine them.
Map them.
You need to
be clear on what you want to achieve,
validate the goal,
brainstorm ways to get there,
create a roadmap,
then get specific and act.
We will take a fresh look at the coaching model of defining the Goal, having a Reality check, brainstorming Options, selecting from the options, and creating the Will to action. In other words, to apply the GROW model.
We will explore the myriad of ways that you already unconsciously apply the GROW model in your life. Identifying the ways that you use the model enables you to refine your overall effectiveness in those areas and in many new ones.
Then we will look at applying these very same concepts to your team members, and even at a team level, to clarify goals and manage your way to achieve them.
Who this course is for:
- Leaders who are struggling to motivate team members who have hit a blank on problem solving and creativity. You will find an 'in the moment' or 'on the fly' approach to problem solving. Use this to help colleagues develop options to solve a problem before coming to you.
- Managers wanting to mobilise their organisation in pursuit of successful change, needing to use a coach approach to raising awareness of the need for change, using the GROW model to gain ownership of the process, and craft a way to move it forward.
- Project Managers needing to understand team dynamics and managing project teams to rapid high-performance, and dealing with poor performance, using the Coach Approach and the E4 Xchange Leadership Model of Engage, Enable, Encourage, and Evaluate
- People wanting to help others think through dreams, opportunities, and obstacles and find the next steps to take that will make a difference to their lives. This might include amateur sports people wanting to think through their sporting ambitions and need a framework to structure their thoughts, or school sports coaches (often teachers) looking for an easy 'in the moment' framework for assessing a point of improvement with a teenager. Parents wanting to speak to their older children about career choices in a structured way, or young adults moving out of home and having to choose between different options but struggling to frame the decision process.

We are particularly interested in building personal resilience, having come out of the pandemic where many of us have both lost and found.

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.
