Helping employees grow and thrive one company at a time.

Making life
at work better

In the years since, our mission has evolved beyond connecting people with coaches (although it’s still the core of what we do). The average person spends more than 3,000 hours at work each year, and our experiences on the job have a huge impact on every single part of our lives. And the truth is that for many people, “work” can be synonymous with anxiety and dread.

We believe that there’s another way, and it’s why we’re on a mission to make life at work better for everyone.

“We founded Bravely with the mission of providing people unprecedented access to professional coaching so that everyone, at every level within an organization, could benefit from the power of this incredible resource. Our coaches provide support to employees with their incredible experience, wisdom and care. Coaches support employees in skill-building, mapping professional goals, and creating a safe space where employees can share openly and confidentially. Bravely’s mission is now a reality that is realized every day through our platform where our coaches provide support, help to drive action, and build skills for thousands of people, every day. At Bravely, we’re setting a new standard for the future world of work; a world where coaching is provided to employees at every level and delivers the individualized support that each and everyone one of us deserves.”

  • Alexis Mobley

    Alexis Mobley

    With a 15-year career in technology across multiple Fortune 500 companies, Alexis’ path to coaching was neither linear nor foreseen but inevitable upon reflection. Though she spent most of her career in client-facing, logic-based, analytical roles, the pandemic allowed space to pause, find out what is important to her, and pivot into a more heart-centered profession. As a result, in 2020, she pursued an M.Sc. degree in Executive Coaching and Organizational Consulting from NYU - the impetus for launching her I, Matter! Coaching and Consulting practice. Alexis initially hesitated to launch her business for various reasons, many tied to her limiting beliefs. But, she recognized that someone in the world needed her gifts, and not moving forward could deprive them of a coach who might help transform their lives. She partners with high-achieving women to advocate for themselves and find and use their voices. She is a non-judgemental cheerleader, encouraging clients through the process as they uncover potential roadblocks precluding the best version of themselves from being revealed. Many of her clients no longer connect to their inner knowing to understand what resonates for them. While others know what they want, deep-seated (conscious or unconscious) fear prevents movement. “I wanted Black and Brown women to know it was ok to take up space, in every sense of the word, to go after those dreams long since abandoned, and to put themselves first when making certain life decisions.”
