Free live session with Christine Burych
You Have to Let Someone Go.
Now What?
How to do it with empathy so they leave the room feeling respected, and you leave it still feeling human.
Nobody trains you for this moment.
You get the news, you get a deadline, and you are expected to walk into a room and change someone's life with no script, no support, and no idea whether you are doing it right.
This session gives you one.
In under an hour, you will leave with a clear, empathetic way to conduct a layoff that protects their dignity and your integrity, so you are never choosing between being kind and being clear.
What you walk away with
The exact words to use
A clear, rehearsed sentence beats a softened, meandering one every time. You will leave with language you can actually say out loud.
A way to show it mattered
Knowing the facts and closing with certainty tells the person in front of you that they were more than a headcount number.
A plan for the team left behind
They are watching how this was handled, and it is your next move that decides whether they stay.
Who this hour is for
This session is built for the people who carry the news before anyone else does.
- HR leaders and business partners who are handed the list and the timeline
- Directors, VPs, and managers who have to sit across from someone they hired
- Founders and owners making the call for the first time
- Anyone who has done this before and is still replaying the conversation
If you have ever walked away from that room second-guessing every word, or you know it is coming and you are already dreading it, this is the hour that makes the next one easier.
