In today's dynamic business landscape, professionals across industries are constantly seeking guidance and support to achieve their goals and maximize their potential.


Coaching and mentoring have become indispensable tools for personal and professional growth, especially in the high pressure, high growth startup/ scaleup sector, but its also equally as important for an organically grown business. Especailly in this every changing economy. This blog will delve into different coaching and mentoring models that we are learning on the ILM Mentoring course sponsored by the UK Help To Grow program delivered by the Association of Business Mentors. Giving Revnu the certification to back up the last 4 years of coaching.


This will highlight the unique features and importance within the startup industry. We'll also identify the most popular models and discuss their significance in building a versatile toolkit to cater to various audiences' needs.

  1. The GROW Model (John Whitmore)

The GROW Model, developed by John Whitmore, stands as one of the most widely recognized coaching models. It is structured around four key stages: Goal, Reality, Options, and Will.

  • Goal: This stage encourages clients to define their aims and objectives clearly. It prompts them to consider what success looks like, their influence over the goal, and how they'll measure it.

  • Reality: Here, clients assess their current situation objectively. They focus on facts, identifying challenges, and those involved directly or indirectly.

  • Options: In this stage, clients brainstorm various strategies and approaches to address their challenges. It opens up possibilities and encourages creative thinking.

  • Will: The final stage involves committing to action. Clients choose the best options, set a timeline, and determine the support they need to achieve their goals.


The Grow Model is just what we use in the Natwest Accelerator and Help To Grow Mentoring program with business founders. It's a great start but from experience founders need a bit more accountability!
