GROW Model Application
Leadership Belief Shifts

The GROW coaching model helps us reflect on and shift a belief that may be influencing how we lead.

This isn't about forcing "positive thinking"—it's about testing and intentionally shifting beliefs that may be limiting you.

Use the questions to self-coach outside of the session and GROW to coach each other in breakout rooms.

Explore how to apply GROW in real leadership situations.

GROW Model Overview

G

Goal

What is a belief you want to shift that affects your leadership?

R

Reality

O

Options

What are some ways you could test or shift this belief?

W

Way Forward

What action will you take to put this shift into practice?

"Think about a belief that shows up for you in leadership—one that might be holding you back or shaping how you interact with others."

Case Studies

Situation:

"I struggle to speak up in meetings because I don't feel I have enough experience."

G - Goal:

I want to feel more confident contributing in leadership meetings.

R - Reality:

I believe I need to be an expert to speak up. Others seem more qualified.

O - Options:

• Reframe: I don't need all the answers—leadership is about contributing perspective.

• Test: Commit to speaking once in the next meeting, even if just to ask a question.

• Observe: How do people respond? Do they expect me to be an expert, or is input valued?

W - Way Forward:

I will contribute at least once in the next two meetings and notice the impact.

Situation:

"I hesitate to delegate because I believe others won't do the task as well as I would."

G - Goal:

I want to delegate more effectively and trust my team.

R - Reality:

I believe that if I don't do it myself, it won't be done well.

O - Options:

• Reframe: Leadership isn't about doing everything myself—it's about empowering others.

• Test: Delegate one small decision and observe the outcome.

• Observe: What actually happens? What assumptions am I making?

W - Way Forward:

I will delegate one task this week and reflect on the results.
