GROW Coaching Reflection

Goal Setting Tools

Optional prompts for Goal, Reality, Options, and Way Forward.

About This Tool

GROW is one coaching framework that organizes optional prompts around Goal, Reality, Options, and a Way Forward. Use, reorder, adapt, or skip any section based on the client and context.

This worksheet offers one optional structure for recording a topic, present context, possibilities, and a possible next step. It does not require a sequence, completed section, commitment, or disclosure.

How to Use This Worksheet

  1. Choose any topic, situation, question, or blank that feels useful.
  2. Use, rename, reorder, revisit, or skip sections in any order.
  3. In the Options section, record any number of alternatives or leave it blank; no sequence or minimum is required.
  4. Use the Way Forward section only if an optional question, support, experiment, or no action is useful; timing may remain blank.
  5. Review or share only what the client chooses; the worksheet need not be completed.
