"The GROW Model is a coaching framework used in conversations, meetings and everyday leadership to unlock potential and possibilities. GROW was created by our co-founder Sir John Whitmore and colleagues in the late 1980s. It has since become the world’s most popular coaching model for problem solving, goal setting and performance improvement."

So yesterday we had REACH and today we have GROW. A lot of companies like abbreviations, some drive it to extreme. You need to be a longer time in a company to understand all the common abbreviations, but some remain a mystery 😎. I like the moments in a meeting, when a new employee or intern is asking about the explanation behind an abbreviation and nobody is in the room who can explain or has a rough idea. As long as nobody is asking you can still give the impression that you are a member of the circle of trust and know the meaning behind. 31 Common Acronyms You’d Never Figure Out  https://www.rd.com/list/common-acronyms/

Every now and then I get requests from people who would like to have a story, content or link mentioned/shared in one of my BLOG posts. The latest one was about promoting safe browsing tools/tips. I did a quick Internet check about the search engine mentioned and found a very negative article about it, so nothing you really want to recommend 👎. But there are solutions available that are worth checking. Private Search Engines   https://restoreprivacy.com/private-search-engine/, ECOSIA is the one I use in the moment, before I had DuckDuckGo.
