But laying out my 'what if' scenarios made me realize there are other cool paths I could pursue if my main plan goes sideways.

The steps of theGROW Model include: a) establishing a goal; b) evaluating the current reality (what ishappening now and what are the effects or results?); c) exploring options and obstacles (whatelse could you do? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each option?); and d)establishing a will or a way to move forward.Each coach met with a student in one-on-one sessions 4 to 5 times during the semester. Duringeach coaching session, the student completed a form detailing the challenges faced and theprogress made in seeking academic improvements. Each student established a SMART academicgoal, which was tracked throughout the semester.This presentation
