Bill Campbell

He never took credit for coaching Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, or anyone else. If Campbell walked into a restaurant like Il Fornaio, where the digerati congregate, or the Old Pro, the bustling sports bar he co-owned in Palo Alto, even people who don’t generally look at you when they speak would smile broadly and give him a hug.

Coaching questions using the GROW model.

GROW stands for:

Goal. What do you want?

• What are you looking to achieve (in 6 weeks)?
• What do you want to get out of going on this new path?

Reality. Where are you now?

• What is the current situation?

Options. What could you do?

• What option appeals most to you right now?
• What else could you do?
• What factors will you use to weigh the options?
• What obstacles stand in your way?

Will. What will you do?

• What will you do now? When will you do it?
• How committed are you on a scale of 1 to 10?
