Nick and Morgan’s Real Stories of Bravely’s Impact
Bravely has been unlocking personal and professional growth among individuals and teams for years, changing careers one session at a time. In a world where professional and personal development is paramount, Bravely offers employees a safe space to seek guidance, explore their potential, and embrace transformative change through one-on-one coaching.
That said, if you’ve never been able to offer coaching as a benefit to your employees, it can be hard to identify all of the benefits your people and organization will receive as a result. So, with this post, we will share with you the stories of two Bravely users who have chosen to generously share their journeys.
These stories provide a deep dive into the transformative power of coaching. They shed light on the profound impact a thoughtful, empathetic coach can have on one’s career and life. Through their experiences, we’ll explore how Bravely’s platform empowers individuals to conquer their career challenges, enhance their personal lives, and ultimately unlock their full potential.
Nick’s Coaching Journey: Navigating a New Work Environment
Recognizing the Impact of Professional Coaching at Work
When Nick joined the company where Bravely was introduced to him, he found himself in a new work environment after eight years at another company. He was experiencing quite a culture shock, and Bravely was introduced to him at the right time. Coaching was something he’d always looked for throughout his career, but the opportunity was never really within reach.
Nick embarked on his coaching journey with a mix of excitement and apprehension — he was nervous. He initially expected a tutor-like experience, providing guidance in specific scenarios. What he received was much more than he imagined. He found himself engaging in empathetic and intuitive conversations that explored his thoughts, feelings, and reactions to the situations he encountered at work. Ultimately, this helped him discover what he wanted in his professional life.
Nick felt fortunate to be paired with his particular coach. She quickly grasped his learning style, fostering a strong rapport. Nick found that her curiosity encouraged him to become more introspective about himself and his work. Instead of solving his problems, she empowered him to discover solutions independently.
How Coaching Reshaped Nick’s Approach to Work and Beyond
Nick’s efforts in his sessions with his coach quickly began to impact his life at work. Their regular meetings improved his soft skills, including intercommunication and problem-solving. This newfound confidence enabled him to face each workplace situation with greater confidence based on the strategies he had developed during the coaching sessions.
Nick also noticed significant changes in his work-life quality. Stress levels reduced, and his focus shifted from hyper-efficiency to emphasizing the quality of his output. Accountability became a cornerstone of his work ethic.
Beyond the workplace, these coaching sessions prompted Nick to slow down and find balance as a new dad. The wisdom he acquired along his coaching journey ultimately became a guiding principle in both his professional and personal life.
From Advocate to Coach: Morgan’s Bravely Experience
Embracing the Unknown: Morgan’s Journey with Bravely
Like Nick, Morgan discovered Bravely through its offering in her workplace benefits. In 2020, a time filled with uncertainties for all of us, she embraced the opportunity and eagerly signed up for her first session. Morgan was on the brink of an exciting transition, moving from the world of teaching to a completely new industry. The road ahead promised both challenges and opportunities, and she was determined to navigate her way through the unknown with as much personal insight and awareness as possible.
Ahead of her first session, Morgan, a proactive employee excited to take advantage of company-provided benefits, jumped at the opportunity to begin professional coaching. She dove in head first with no expectations. Beyond receiving some guidance to support her in this career transition, Morgan was open to whatever insights lay ahead. She recognized the significance of coaching as a high-impact investment in her own growth and development, and wasn’t going to let a busy schedule stand in her way. The decision to prioritize coaching in her life was a defining moment that would significantly shape her career trajectory.
Inspiring Growth: From Advocate to Coach
Morgan’s transition to a managerial role was marked by her coach’s crucial guidance in shifting her perspective. Through role-play and thoughtful discussions, she mastered the art of managing up, negotiating skillfully, and developing effective talk tracks that positioned her for success.
Morgan’s professional life thrived under the mentorship of her coach, and she skillfully leveraged her coaching experience to become a career coach as her side hustle. Her newfound confidence in navigating workplace situations became a valuable asset in guiding her own clients.
Now a staunch advocate for coaching and an accomplished coach herself, Morgan strongly encouraged her direct reports to take advantage of Bravely’s services. She recognized how important this would be for her team given most companies and managers aren’t able to provide the deep one-on-one coaching that many individuals desire or need. So, during one-on-one meetings, she urged her team to seek out the right coach, firmly believing that this investment was the key to personal and professional growth.
