Follow up on “Coaching in Two Stages” (January 15)
After I posted last week’s article, Angus McLeod, Ph.D., Visiting Professor of Coaching at Birmingham City Business School, UK, and AMA Coaching School [www.angusmcleod.com www.coachingfoundation.org] and one of our Expert Coaches in Meta-Coaching sent me links to the fact that the original source and creator of the GROW model has been claimed by several people — up to 4 different persons!
After I posted last week’s article, Angus McLeod, Ph.D., Visiting Professor of Coaching at Birmingham City Business School, UK, and AMA Coaching School [www.angusmcleod.com www.coachingfoundation.org] and one of our Expert Coaches in Meta-Coaching sent me links to the fact that the original source and creator of the GROW model has been claimed by several people — up to 4 different persons! Wikipedia says the following about it: There have been many claims to authorship of GROW as a way of achieving goals and solving problems. While no one person can be clearly identified as the originator Graham Alexander, Alan Fine (You Already Know How to Be Great), Sir John Whitmore (Coaching for Performance), who are well known in the world of coaching, made significant contributions. Max Landsberg describes GROW in his book The Tao of Coaching.
