The GROW Coaching Model

About the webinar

The GROW coaching model offers practitioners a highly practical, globally recognised framework to increase a client's level of self-awareness and perceived responsibility—two powerful outcomes in therapeutic and conflict resolution settings. This essential webinar is designed to equip you with the practical steps to successfully apply this model across multiple intervention modalities.

This training, led by mediation expert Simon Goode, clearly outlines the differences between coaching and other interventions used in Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) practice. The session then describes the practical application of the GROW model, using scenarios specific to FDR to demonstrate possible responses in both 1:1 and joint mediation sessions, relevant to funded and private practice settings.

Secure your registration to integrate a powerful coaching framework into your practice, enabling you to master goal-setting techniques and drive greater client accountability in complex dispute resolution processes.
