Last week, a friend of mine — founder of a boutique creative agency — texted me out of nowhere.

Delectus alias odio incidunt commod“Someone just resigned. I don’t want to overreact, but I feel stuck. The rest of the team is already a bit tired.”

She wasn’t panicking. But I could feel that slight anxiety — that "What now?" kind of pause that business owners know too well.

She didn’t need a long-term consultant. Just a sound mind to talk to — someone who’s handled these kinds of exits before.

So she booked a short HR advisory session the next day.
 They talked things through. Quietly. Strategically.

No long emails. No formal pitch. Just one hour of proper, thoughtful advice.

 

 

What came out of that session?

• A clear plan to communicate the resignation without disrupting the rest of the team
  
   
• A calm, respectful way to conduct the exit
  
   
• Ideas to rebuild the energy of the group, without pretending everything was “fine”
  
   

She told me afterward :

“I didn’t need someone to manage it for me. I just needed someone who’s done this before.”

 

 

I think moments like this remind me why real consulting, not overpromising, not over packaging — still matters.

Sometimes, all we need is one good conversation. One experienced voice.
 And a reminder that we don’t have to carry every decision alone.
