Combining NVC and GROW Coaching Models: Achieving Success and Understanding Others
The Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and the GROW coaching model are two powerful and effective tools that can assist individuals in reaching their goals, gaining clarity, and developing self-awareness. Both of these models emphasize the importance of communication and understanding one another, while also providing an opportunity to explore different options and create an action plan.
The NVC model, developed by Marshall Rosenberg, is based on the idea that we all have a need to be heard and understood, and that we should be able to express our thoughts and feelings in a respectful and authentic way. This model encourages individuals to use “I” statements, rather than blaming the other person, and to focus on the feelings and needs behind their words. It also encourages individuals to be mindful of their body language and tone of voice, as these can have a significant impact on how the message is received.
The GROW coaching model, created by Alan Fine and John Whitmore, is a structured approach to goal setting and personal development. This model encourages individuals to create a goal, identify the reality of their current situation, explore different options, and decide on an action plan. This model can be used to identify areas of improvement and create an actionable plan for achieving one’s goals.
When combining the NVC and GROW coaching models, individuals can more effectively express their thoughts and feelings, gain clarity on their goals, and develop an action plan. The following questions can be used to guide individuals in this process:
Goal:
1. What is the outcome that I am striving for?
2. How will this goal benefit me and others?
3. How can I ensure that I stay motivated and on track?
4. What resources do I have available to help me achieve this goal?
5. What other goals should I keep in mind while working towards this one?
Reality:
1. What is the current situation?
2. What are the challenges or obstacles I’m facing?
3. What skills or resources do I need to acquire or develop?
4. What other people or organizations can help me achieve this goal?
5. What resources do I have that can help me achieve this goal?
Options:
1. What are the different ways I can achieve this goal?
2. What are the pros and cons of each option?
3. How would each option benefit me and others?
4. What resources do I need to make each option a reality?
5. What other people or organizations can help me with each option?
Will:
1. What action steps can I take to achieve this goal?
2. What is the timeline for each step?
3. What resources do I need to complete each step?
4. What support do I need to stay motivated and on track?
5. What other action steps can I take to ensure success?
By using these questions and combining the NVC and GROW coaching models, individuals can gain clarity on their goals, explore different options, and develop an action plan. This process can help individuals to make meaningful progress towards their goals and create an environment of understanding and collaboration.
