Chapter 6: Coaching Models 161Performance and Development
Coaching Models
Performance and/or development coaching uses insight-oriented
and learner led inquiry-based models. The three performance and
development coaching models, CLEAR, Flow and GROW, are
presented in this section. These flexible models allow coaches and
learners to (a) identify areas for improvement in performance or
growth and (b) set a system in place to meet specific goals and
objectives.
Coaches serve as facilitators and collaborative problem solvers in
helping learners reach their goals. Development coaching in
particular is described as “less directive than the other types, and is
aimed at challenging and stimulating growth and areas of
excellence. Coaches challenge learners to develop deeper levels of
critical thinking to assimilate theory, research and practice” (Potter
& Brittain, 2009). Development coaching can be used to identify
goals to improve professional performance or the effectiveness of
the organization. Performance coaching is not to be confused with
coaching that addresses personnel issues, although the strategies
may be helpful if using coaching as a corrective action.
