GROW – Business Meditation

In this first business meditation of the Unfolding Thought series, Eric Pratum introduces the GROW framework, a simple yet powerful tool for clarifying challenges and taking actionable steps forward.

GROW—an acronym for Goal, Reality, Options, and Way Forward—is widely used by coaches and managers to empower individuals, foster accountability, and generate meaningful solutions. Through a guided exercise, you’ll have the opportunity to apply GROW to your own challenges, uncover new possibilities, and identify your next steps.

Whether you’re a leader, manager, or simply looking to gain clarity in your personal or professional life, this episode will help you unlock the power of focus and intentionality.

Mentioned in the Episode:

  • The four phases of GROW: Goal, Reality, Options, and Way Forward.
  • How GROW empowers individuals and fosters commitment to solutions.
  • Practical questions to uncover challenges, explore options, and commit to action.
