WHAT’S HARD
The brief is short. The conversation isn’t.
Two-line resignation. HR already approved a counter-offer.
Your best analyst went quiet months ago. Runway is short.
HOW A SESSION WORKS
Four steps. About twenty minutes.
- 1°
Read the brief
The context, your role, and who you’re about to meet. No framework recap.
- 2°
Have the conversation
The other person pushes back, holds things back, and reacts to how you actually behave.
- 3°
Get the coaching debrief
What you did, what it cost you, and the specific move to change next time.
- 4°
Keep the evidence
Transcripts and cohort patterns your programme can actually show a sponsor.
BEFORE YOU START
Two things people ask.
Who am I in this conversation?
You're the Team Lead on delivery. Priya Mehta is your senior analyst, and her resignation just landed. You get the full brief after you sign in.
Do I need HR or consulting experience to practise this?
No. The brief has the counter terms and recent history. You're practising retention when the stated reason isn't the whole story.
