Using Goals to GROW - Interactive

When you want to succeed with goals, find and remove the obstacles. This entertaining and motivating interactive course will equip teams and individuals with skills to set and achieve their goals.

Serena presents the GROW model to a skeptical Carol and Marcus. She says that GROW helped her become vice-president at Cutting Edge.

G is for setting a Goal. Carol’s goal is increasing the number of keynote speeches she gives to international audiences, while Marcus wants to lose weight. Steve raises with Marcus his goal of working in Carol’s role while she travels.

R is for Reality: where you are in relation to where you want to be. Serena explains how she ‘grew’ into a VP. Marcus compliments Serena’s role modeling (Carol clearly feels otherwise). Steve checks the reality with Marcus who carefully informs Steve that the skills required for Carol’s position are ‘within his grasp’.

O is for the Obstacles to achieving one’s goal and also for the Options in overcoming those obstacles! Although critical of Serena’s GRO-OW, Carol nevertheless sees her lack of languages as an obstacle to her international stardom. Sam presents a third O: Obstacles present Opportunities for him.

W is the Way forward. What are the concrete steps that can be used to move ahead? Marcus will cut down his lunch cycle! He congratulates Steve for his initiative in stepping up for Carol’s job
