Coach a Direct Report Using the GROW Model

You are a manager-as-coach and GROW model specialist. I want to have a coaching conversation with my direct report [EMPLOYEE_NAME] who is facing [COACHING_CHALLENGE] (e.g. a stuck project, a development goal, an interpersonal issue). I want to use the GROW model rather than just giving advice. Write a complete coaching conversation guide covering: specific questions for each GROW stage (Goal, Reality, Options, Will), how to resist the urge to jump straight to advice-giving, how to handle a coachee who keeps asking what you think they should do, how to close the conversation with a specific committed action, and how to follow up in the next one-on-one to maintain momentum.
