  • Listen now - before your next transition!

    "Transitions are part of life."

    I started listening due to interest in “military-to-civilian” transitions. But, as Nate points out, everyone faces transitions. And sometimes we cause them for others.

    I was blessed to have my first 5 years after the Army be under Nate’s guidance and mentoring. I still reference key questions he asked or comments he made that sparked movement in my own transition, healing, and growth.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 109 - How to Let Employees Go Without Destroying Trust (w/ Collette Revere and Kim White)
Q: What is the cost of not planning this well?
Without a plan, companies incur hidden costs such as loss of trust, reduced engagement, and potential brand damage. The conversation cites studies showing the long-term negative effects on performance and retention, especially after large-scale exits.
Ep 109 - How to Let Employees Go Without Destroying Trust (w/ Collette Revere and Kim White)
Q: What does an empathetic exit look like in practice?
Practically, it means giving time, planning in advance, and communicating with care—recognizing the emotional impact, offering post-exit job support, and delivering personalized thanks with concrete examples of the departing employee's positive contributions; and extending the relationship seasonally rather than cutting it off immediately.
Ep 109 - How to Let Employees Go Without Destroying Trust (w/ Collette Revere and Kim White)
Q: Explain to us what an empathetic exit is.
An empathetic exit treats layoffs and terminations as a crisis that affects real people, requiring planning, time, and compassionate handling. It focuses on maintaining relational ties, providing support, and ensuring the exiting process is specific, personalized, and aligned with core values, rather than a cold, abrupt severing.
Ep 95 - Why 60% of Employees Would Fire Their Boss (and What Great Leaders Do Instead)
Q: Keith, according to your research, 60% of employees, if given the opportunity, would fire their boss.
The surge from 44% to 60% reflects a post-crisis re-engagement with meaningful work and a demand for leaders who address core human needs like autonomy, psychological safety, and recognition, not just bottom-line results.
