Educational Guide

OSCAR (Outcome, Situation, Choices, Actions, Review) is a highly pragmatic, solution-focused coaching framework. It is particularly popular in managerial and workplace coaching because it rapidly moves the coachee from admiring the problem to selecting a concrete action and defining exactly how success will be measured.
