measurable, achievable, relevant, and timebound).
● Reality – coach asks questions to identify the coachee’s weaknesses and challenges.
● Options – the coach and coachee brainstorm different options and strategies to close the gap
between goals and reality.
● Will – coach helps coachee draw an action plan for achieving their goals, including identifying
specific steps, assigning responsibilities, and setting deadlines.

both the coach and coachee through a structured process. This model enhances communication,
goal setting, and accountability, ultimately leading to significant personal and professional growth.

the coaching process. It help set clear, measurable goals and provides direction and
motivation for both the coach and coachee.

their desired goal. => Identifying the gap highlights areas for improvement and helps the
coachee recognize obstacles.

for problem-solving. This collaborative process encourages creative thinking and
empowers the coachee to take ownership of their journey.
6. Agree on the Action Plan: Develop a clear and actionable plan that outlines specific
steps the coachee will take to achieve their goals. A well-defined action plan ensures
accountability and provides a roadmap for the coachee.
7. Support and Encourage: Providing ongoing motivation and check-ins is essential to
keep the coachee engaged and accountable. Regular support builds confidence and
reinforces commitment to the action plan.
8. Review and Reflect: Evaluate the outcomes of the coaching process and reflect on
lessons learned to enhance future coaching sessions. Reflection helps solidify learning
and encourages continuous improvement.
