Teaching Paper: Coaching Session Plan Template – Applying GROW, CLEAR, and OSCAR Models in Non-Profit Leadership

Coaching is an essential component of leadership development in the non-profit sector, offering structured support for growth, performance, and reflection. This Teaching Paper presents a Coaching Session Plan Template that integrates three established coaching models—GROW, CLEAR, and OSCAR—into one practical framework. Each model provides a lens for setting goals, building trust, exploring options, and ensuring accountability. By applying these models, leaders can facilitate more meaningful conversations, develop their teams’ potential, and foster a culture of continuous learning. The paper provides practical steps, case applications, and reflection tools to help leaders translate coaching theory into actionable practice across diverse organizational contexts.
