Teaching Paper: Coaching Frameworks for Public Speaking Development

This Teaching Paper explores how structured coaching frameworks can enhance the development of public speaking skills by providing clarity, accountability, and adaptability in practice. It introduces and analyzes four key models—GROW, OSKAR, CLEAR, and TGROW—illustrating their practical application in communication coaching. Each framework supports goal setting, reflective practice, and performance improvement, offering coaches a systematic yet flexible approach. Drawing on psychological and educational principles, the paper demonstrates how these models can address common challenges such as performance anxiety and lack of focus, supported by an applied case study involving a non-profit leader preparing for a donor presentation. The discussion connects academic theory with professional coaching practice, equipping readers with replicable tools for enhancing confidence and communicative effectiveness.
