How can you mentor coachees to navigate well-being challenges in a VUCA environment?

1 Assess their well-being

The first step is to assess your coachee's current level of well-being and identify any areas of concern. You can use various tools and frameworks, such as the PERMA model, the Wheel of Life, or the Well-Being Index, to measure different aspects of well-being, such as positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment, health, balance, and satisfaction. You can also ask open-ended questions to elicit your coachee's feelings, thoughts, and challenges regarding their well-being.

3 Co-create an action plan

The third step is to co-create an action plan with your coachee to improve their well-being. You can help your coachee identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) actions that they can take to enhance their well-being in different domains. For example, they may want to practice mindfulness, exercise regularly, seek social support, delegate tasks, or learn new skills. You can also help your coachee anticipate potential obstacles and plan for contingencies. You can use the GROW model, the SMARTER framework, or the Action Planning Worksheet to facilitate this process.

4 Support their implementation

The fourth step is to support your coachee's implementation of their action plan. You can provide feedback, encouragement, accountability, and resources to help your coachee follow through on their commitments and track their progress. You can also help your coachee reflect on their learning, achievements, and challenges along the way. You can use the STAR model, the Feedback Matrix, or the Coaching Log to structure your follow-up sessions and conversations.

5 Review their outcomes

The fifth step is to review your coachee's outcomes and evaluate their well-being improvement. You can use the same tools and frameworks that you used in the first step to measure your coachee's well-being before and after the coaching intervention. You can also ask your coachee to share their feedback, insights, and testimonials about their well-being journey. You can use the Kirkpatrick Model, the ROI Methodology, or the Coaching Evaluation Form to assess the effectiveness and impact of your coaching.

6 Celebrate their success

The sixth and final step is to celebrate your coachee's success and acknowledge their efforts and achievements. You can use various methods and gestures, such as praise, recognition, rewards, or gratitude, to express your appreciation and admiration for your coachee. You can also help your coachee celebrate their success with their stakeholders, such as their managers, peers, or family. You can use the Appreciative Inquiry, the Success Story, or the Celebration Checklist to plan and execute a meaningful and memorable celebration.
