You know that That Employee has to go. But even once you've got the legalities right, firing feels hard. HR guidelines don't tell you how to have a conversation that makes you cringe every time you think of it.

Of course it makes you cringe – firing is not an easy process. Plus, helping the rest of the team bounce back after the firing isn't easy either.

What you need is someone who can talk things through with you beforehand, support you during the firing conversation, then help you and your staff regain confidence afterwards.

I've let people go; I know how hard it is. I offer coaching and training to help you and your staff before during and after the process.

If you'd like me to help you with a disciplinary or firing issue, get in touch. We'll begin with a free 30-minute consultation to explore the way forward.
