Small Business & Community Resilience Series
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 look at the data showing why so many managers are left stranded 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.
