Most managers and HR professionals are never taught one of the most critical skills in business: how to let people go skillfully. Without these tools, leaders often "wing it," leading to a cycle of fear, guilt, and avoidable mistakes that ripple through an entire organization. What we will cover: The Reality of the Gap: We’ll examine the data showing why so many managers are left unprepared without the training they need to handle departures. The Human Impact: We will explore how "winging it" impacts the mental health of the leader delivering the news and the dignity of the employee receiving it. The One Essential Skill: You will walk away with one concrete, repeatable skill to handle these conversations with clarity and composure. Why you should be there: If your company hasn't invested in your training, invest in yourself. Whether you are the one having the conversation or the one on the receiving end, understanding the mechanics of this process changes the experience from one of trauma to one of professional integrity. Stop fearing the conversation. Master the skill.

Being let go is rarely just about a paycheck; it is a profound disruption of your identity and security. When managers aren't trained to handle these moments skillfully, the result is often "termination trauma." Even in the best-case scenarios, losing a job triggers a unique form of grief that can leave you feeling stuck, paralyzed, or resentful. Why This Matters for Your Career The weight of a bad exit doesn't stay at your old desk; it follows you. If left unaddressed, that "trauma energy" can leak into your interviews and follow you into your next role, impacting your confidence and how you show up for new opportunities. To be truly marketable, you have to work through the baggage. In this class, we will talk about the trauma, understanding that you aren't alone, that the person who had to let you go might also be struggling, and some ways to overcome so you don't bring it into your next job.
