1 Assess the impact of change

Before you start or continue your coaching or mentoring sessions, take some time to assess how the change affects your coachee or mentee, yourself, and your relationship. What are the goals, expectations, and needs of both parties? How have they changed or stayed the same? How does the change affect the roles, responsibilities, and boundaries of the relationship? How does the change affect the resources, tools, and methods you use? By assessing the impact of change, you can identify the gaps, opportunities, and challenges that you need to address.

In my experience, it does take time to get to know one another. If you have 4-5 sessions of coaching or mentorship together, the 1st session is typically used to get to know one another, set goals, and outcomes that the coachee or mentee is looking to bridge or address. Having an outcome is a very ideal situations, as many typically find it difficult to focus and complete their homework, due diligence and journaling for example. Frameworks definitely help both the mentor/coach and mentee/coachee The challenge is for them to set aside time to practice and apply the frameworks. Some might be impatient with the process and would like a quick fix to the problem they are facing as well.

2 Communicate and negotiate

Communication is key to maintaining a healthy and productive coaching or mentoring relationship, especially during change. You need to communicate openly and honestly with your coachee or mentee about the changes and how they affect your relationship. You also need to negotiate and agree on any adjustments or adaptations that you need to make to your goals, plans, actions, and feedback. For example, you may need to change the frequency, duration, or mode of your sessions, or the focus, scope, or criteria of your outcomes. By communicating and negotiating, you can ensure that you are on the same page and that you respect each other's preferences and constraints.

Communication is super important. For example, if you are mentoring someone and they start a new job with different responsibilities, you should talk to them about how that affects your mentoring. You might need to change how often you meet or what you work on together, so you both stay on the same page and make the mentoring work well for both of you.

3 Embrace learning and experimentation

Change can be a great opportunity to learn and experiment with new ideas, approaches, and techniques in your coaching or mentoring relationship. You can use change as a catalyst to stimulate your curiosity, creativity, and innovation. You can also use change as a feedback mechanism to test your assumptions, hypotheses, and results. For example, you can try new questions, tools, models, or frameworks that suit the change context, or you can collect and analyze data, evidence, or stories that reflect the change impact. By embracing learning and experimentation, you can enhance your skills, knowledge, and performance as a coach or mentor.

4 Maintain trust and rapport

Trust and rapport are essential for building and sustaining a positive and effective coaching or mentoring relationship, especially in times of uncertainty and ambiguity. You need to maintain trust and rapport by showing empathy, respect, and support to your coachee or mentee. You also need to maintain trust and rapport by demonstrating consistency, reliability, and integrity in your actions and words. For example, you can express your appreciation, recognition, and encouragement for your coachee or mentee's efforts and achievements, or you can follow up on your commitments, promises, and feedback. By maintaining trust and rapport, you can foster a safe and comfortable environment for your coachee or mentee to grow and change.

Trust and rapport are super important in coaching or mentoring, especially when things are uncertain. For example, if your mentee is feeling overwhelmed at work, you can show empathy by listening to their concerns and offering support. If you promise to help them find some work life balance solutions, make sure you follow through with suggestions or resources, it helps build trust because your mentee sees that you are reliable and genuinely care about their well being

5 Review and celebrate

Change can also be a source of stress and anxiety for both you and your coachee or mentee. You need to review and celebrate your progress and achievements regularly to acknowledge the value and impact of your coaching or mentoring relationship. You also need to review and celebrate your challenges and failures to learn from the mistakes and setbacks that you encounter. For example, you can use reflection, feedback, or evaluation tools to measure and document your outcomes, or you can use rewards, recognition, or gratitude practices to celebrate and appreciate your efforts. By reviewing and celebrating, you can boost your motivation, confidence, and satisfaction as a coach or mentor.

6 Adapt and evolve

Change is inevitable and constant, and so is your coaching or mentoring relationship. You need to adapt and evolve your relationship as the change unfolds and as new situations and opportunities arise. You also need to adapt and evolve your relationship as you and your coachee or mentee develop and grow. For example, you can revisit and revise your goals, plans, actions, and feedback periodically, or you can explore and pursue new directions, interests, or aspirations. By adapting and evolving, you can ensure that your coaching or mentoring relationship remains relevant, meaningful, and beneficial for both parties.
