Unit 5: Powerful coaching tools - part 1

As participants develop as coaches, they will gather a number of tools that will help them to become ever more effective. The GROW model sets the framework for coaching and in many coaching situations effective use of this will provide great outcomes.

The tools in Units 5 and 6 provide additional strategies to use at various stages before, during and after the GROW model.

This unit looks at the first four of these tools:

A coaching record sheet - General 

The balance wheel - Pre-GROW
The rating scale - General
Experiencing the future – now! - Goal
