Power Acronym 207: G.R.O.W. - The Questions That Will Help You Grow in 2026

In this episode, I break down Power Acronym 207: G.R.O.W., a coaching model from BNI that doubles as a powerful year-end reflection tool. December is a reflective season, and scribing, journaling, and answering intentional prompts can accelerate breakthroughs both personally and professionally.

I also share why I believe prompts are power, and why the G.R.O.W. framework is perfect for preparing for 2026—not by accident, but on purpose.

In This Episode:

• Why scribing is one of the most transformational habits from S.A.V.E.R.S.

• The origin of G.R.O.W. and how it became Power Acronym 207

• How prompts accelerate breakthroughs

• The breakdown of G.R.O.W.:

  • G — Goal: Where do you want to go long-term?

  • R — Reality: What’s true right now?

  • O — Options: What opportunities open when you explore possibility?

• Why December is the “practice run” for 2026

• How these questions apply whether you’re leading yourself, your business, or your chapter
