1 Choose the right platform

One of the first steps to successful online coaching and mentoring is to choose the right platform for your communication and collaboration. Depending on your needs and preferences, you might use video calls, phone calls, instant messaging, email, or a combination of these. You should consider the availability, reliability, security, and cost of each option, as well as the comfort and preference of your clients. You should also ensure that you have a backup plan in case of technical issues or interruptions.

Availability is key. Understand what is most commonly used to ensure accessibility to begin with, then assess feasibility of improving the digital tools.

2 Establish clear expectations and boundaries

Another important step is to establish clear expectations and boundaries with your clients, especially if you are working across different time zones, cultures, or languages. You should agree on the frequency, duration, and format of your sessions, as well as the goals, objectives, and outcomes of your coaching or mentoring relationship. You should also discuss how you will handle confidentiality, feedback, payment, cancellation, and termination policies. You should document these agreements and review them regularly with your clients.

Expectation and boundary setting works both ways. It’s not the sole right of your clients to impose such, but one also has the right to set their own and/or try to reach a compromise. Truthful and open communication is important as you both go along and try to agree on the terms and conditions of your working agendas. Having the correct expectations lead to the delivery of accurate results, and by extension, ensuring trust between both parties. Trust is the king if one aims to have healthy and harmonious relationships, realistic goal setting, and performance management. You lose it, you're done.

3 Build rapport and trust

Online coaching and mentoring can pose some challenges to building rapport and trust with your clients, as you might miss some of the non-verbal cues, gestures, and expressions that convey emotions and intentions. To overcome this, you should use active listening, empathy, and open-ended questions to show your interest and understanding. You should also use positive reinforcement, encouragement, and praise to motivate and inspire your clients. You should also share some personal stories and experiences to create a connection and rapport.

4 Use interactive and engaging methods

Online coaching and mentoring can also be less engaging and interactive than face-to-face sessions, as you might have less control over the environment, attention span, and distractions of your clients. To overcome this, you should use interactive and engaging methods to keep your clients involved and interested. You might use polls, quizzes, games, exercises, or case studies to stimulate learning and discussion. You might also use multimedia, such as images, videos, or podcasts, to illustrate your points and examples.

5 Monitor progress and outcomes

Online coaching and mentoring can also be harder to monitor progress and outcomes, as you might have less access to feedback, evidence, or results of your clients' actions and achievements. To overcome this, you should use tools and methods to measure and track progress and outcomes. You might use surveys, assessments, portfolios, or logs to collect data and feedback from your clients. You might also use dashboards, charts, or graphs to visualize and analyze the data and feedback. You should also review and celebrate the progress and outcomes with your clients regularly.

Talking about coaching remotely, the only way to know whether coaching is successful or not is only from the outcome deliverables. This must be supported by very strong digitalization that extends to several dashboard interfaces. If it is not supported, it will be difficult to calculate the achievements measurements of what has been coached.

6 Seek continuous improvement

Online coaching and mentoring can also be a learning opportunity for you, as you might encounter new situations, challenges, or opportunities that require you to adapt and improve your skills and practices. To do this, you should seek continuous improvement by reflecting on your own performance, seeking feedback from your clients or peers, and engaging in professional development activities. You might also use online communities, networks, or forums to share your experiences, insights, and best practices with other online coaches or mentors.
