We’ve partnered with Bravely to offer full-time staff an opportunity to engage with industry experts through a tailored, on-demand coaching program. Coaching is an impactful way for individuals to drive their growth and development but it requires an investment of time and energy; it’s a benefit that's ideal for individuals who are open to change and feedback.
These personalized coaching sessions are intended to advance learning and growth, and provide meaningful support to staff to drive transformational change. Bravely users will also have access to exclusive monthly webinars on a variety of workplace skills topics, and a digital content library for self-directed development through the Bravely platform.
As a general guideline, coaching is an effective resource for the following use cases:
For targeted skill development, including improving performance and accelerating career growth
For self-actualization, including improving confidence and overcoming imposter syndrome
Following a promotion or starting a new role, including for new hires joining Mattermost
For new managers and emerging leaders to develop and enhance their leadership capabilities
To navigate organizational change
To improve work relationships, including managing up, strengthening cross-team collaboration skills, and effectively managing conflict
To tackle stress and burnout
