💡 Quick Tutorial

Achieve Your Goals With Personalized, Step-By-Step Guidance

The GROW coaching model facilitates personal and professional development by serving as a roadmap for goal attainment — delving into challenges, opportunities, and actionable steps.

But you don’t have to hire a coach to get these valuable insights… just ask ChatGPT (or any other major LLM)!

The Prompt

My aspiration is to [insert your specific goal/s]. However, I acknowledge the hurdles in my path, including [insert your challenges]. Use the GROW coaching model to provide me a comprehensive personal development plan.

Goal: What specific, measurable objectives do I intend to achieve? Please consider both short-term milestones and the ultimate long-term goal.

Reality: What is my current situation in relation to these goals? Highlight my strengths, weaknesses, and any external factors influencing my journey.

Options: Can you propose a variety of strategies or actions that could steer me towards my goals? Feel free to think creatively and suggest multiple alternatives.

Will: What steps will I commit to initially? Help me prioritize these actions, provide step-by-step details for each step, and offer suggestions on how I might overcome potential obstacles.

Example Response

Let’s say your aspiration is to enhance your public speaking skills, with the ultimate ambition of delivering a keynote speech at an industry conference within the next year.

And your challenges include anxiety when addressing large audiences, time constraints, & lack of opportunities to speak in front of an audience

Your personalized guidance might look like:

Grow

  • Within 1 month, complete a public speaking online course

  • Within 3 months, participate in at least 3 small speaking engagements (e.g. local meetups, company presentations)

  • Within 6 months, receive positive feedback on your speaking skills from peers or mentors in at least 70% of engagements

Reality

Currently, you’re comfortable speaking in small groups, and you have a strong command of your subject matter — which is a significant strength. Your main challenges are time and lack of opportunities.

Options

  • Start a vlog or book virtual speaking engagements to build confidence sharing your expertise with an online audience

  • Join Toastmasters to gain regular practice opportunities and constructive feedback from a supportive community

Will

  • Step 1: Enroll in a public speaking course within the next 2 weeks

  • Step 2: Join a local Toastmasters within 1 month to get regular practice

  • Step 3: Schedule a low-stakes speaking opportunity, such as a local community event, that’s happening within the next 3 months

  • Overcome obstacles: To manage anxiety, incorporate 10 minutes of mindfulness or deep breathing exercises into your daily routine. For time constraints, determine and remove or reduce less critical tasks in order to prioritize speaking practice and activities.
