I funnel all of my lived experience (good and bad) into services, trainings, and offerings to help create healthier workplaces and inspire meaningful career changes.
After the outpouring of love about being laid off, I’m thrilled to announce my new program, The Compassionate Cut: a nonprofit layoff support program, with my collaborator and wellbeing strategist Loretta Turner. We believe that you can do layoffs with compassion.
The Compassionate Cut is a Nonprofit Layoff Support Program that equips board members and executive leadership with the mindset, tools, and planning strategies to navigate layoffs with care. We support you and your staff in making impossible decisions while honoring staff dignity, minimizing harm, and ensuring organizational continuity.
Our program balances the practical with the emotional and offers Board + Executive Training, Leadership Coaching, and Staff Workshops + Support Circles (for those who are laid off and for those who remain). All services can be offered a la carte or in a comprehensive package.
We believe that hard decisions can be human-centered and that this moment in history calls for leaders to stay true to their values and to care for staff even during the toughest times.
20,000 documented, full-time positions have been eliminated since Inauguration Day. And there are more happening each day. We’ve been keeping a close watch on data shared from The Chronicle of Philanthropy to understand how federal cuts and the new administration are forcing nonprofits to lay off staff as a way to save their missions.
We are here to help nonprofits make impossible decisions while honoring the staff who are let go and support the staff who remain. Layoffs are a part of nonprofit survival, and we believe that you can deliver layoffs while safeguarding staff dignity and team morale so that the important work can continue.
We came into nonprofit work to change the world. Let’s change how layoffs are conducted so they cause less harm and create space for a new beginning that is aligned with your values.
Intrigued? Join us on Friday, July 18th at 9am PT / Noon ET for an informational webinar where you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at our program and get a clear picture of how this offering can support your team through difficult transitions.
Together, we can move through layoffs with compassion and integrity.
Please share with leaders who may be interested in bringing us in to support staff and rebuild team morale.
