How can healthcare professionals develop a growth mindset using life coaching models?

2 How can life coaching models help you develop a growth mindset?

Life coaching models can help you develop a growth mindset by providing a framework to reflect on your current situation, desired outcomes, and action steps. They also enable you to challenge your limiting beliefs, embrace feedback, and celebrate your progress. GROW, OSCAR, and CLEAR are three of the most common life coaching models. GROW stands for Goal, Reality, Options, and Will; it helps you define a SMART goal, assess current reality, brainstorm options, and commit to an action plan. OSCAR stands for Outcome, Situation, Choices, Actions, and Review; it helps you clarify a desired outcome, understand the current situation, evaluate choices, decide on actions, and review results. CLEAR stands for Contract, Listen, Explore, Action, and Review; it helps you establish a contract with your coach, listen actively and empathically; explore your situation and feelings; take action towards a goal; and review learning and achievements.

3 How to use the GROW model to develop a growth mindset?

The GROW model is one of the most widely used life coaching models. It can help you develop a growth mindset by setting a SMART goal that reflects your vision and values, assessing your current situation and identifying the gap between where you are and where you want to be, brainstorming as many possible ways to achieve your goal as you can, and choosing the best option or options for you and committing to a specific action plan. For instance, if the goal is to improve communication skills with patients and colleagues by the end of the year, the reality may be that you struggle to express yourself clearly, listen attentively, and handle conflict constructively. The options could include enrolling in a communication course, reading books and articles, watching videos and podcasts, practicing with a friend or colleague, seeking feedback, etc. The plan could be signing up for a communication course that starts next month, reading one book on communication skills every week, and asking for feedback from your supervisor and peers every month.

4 How to use the OSCAR model to develop a growth mindset?

The OSCAR model is a popular life coaching model that can help you develop a growth mindset. It begins with defining a desired outcome that is positive, realistic, and within your control. Then, describe your current situation and identify the factors that influence it. Next, explore your choices and alternatives to reach your outcome by considering the pros and cons of each option. Select the most suitable choice or choices for you and create a SMART action plan. Finally, monitor your progress and evaluate your results, celebrating achievements and learning from challenges.

5 How to use the CLEAR model to develop a growth mindset?

The CLEAR model is a newer life coaching model that emphasizes the relationship between the coach and the client. It can help you develop a growth mindset by following these steps: Establishing a contract with your coach that outlines the purpose, scope, duration, and expectations of the coaching relationship, listening actively and empathically to your coach and yourself, exploring your situation, goals, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, taking action towards your goals and overcoming any barriers or obstacles, and reviewing your action and outcomes. Additionally, use questions, tools, exercises, strategies, techniques, resources, feedback, evidence, and evaluation to measure your success and improvement.
