I Am Thinking of Stepping Down and Nobody Can Know Yet. Who Can Help?
Let's figure out what needs to happen before you are comfortable telling people. I will walk with you the whole way.
Stepping down is rarely one decision. There is the role, the people who report to you, the board, your shares, the story people will tell, and your own life afterwards. Until you have thought it through, telling anyone feels like setting it in motion.
So you have not told anyone.
What we work through together
- What is pushing you to leave, and whether anything would change your mind
- Who needs to know, in what order, and when
- What has to be in place before the first conversation, like a successor, a handover or your next step
- The practical side of your own exit
How I help
I lay out your options so you can see them clearly. You make the call. Once you have decided, I help carry it out at your pace.
What I do not take on
Legal and financial advice, including contracts, shares and tax. If you need a lawyer or an accountant, I will tell you.
Things people ask
What if I am not sure I want to leave?
Then that is where we start. Deciding to stay is a perfectly good outcome.
Is this confidential?
From the very first message. I am happy to sign an NDA before you tell me anything.
