You've been thinking about leaving for a while. Or maybe the decision just got made for you. Either way, you're about to walk out a door, and how you do that matters more than most people realize.

The emotional residue you carry out with you (bitterness, relief, grief, pride) doesn't disappear when you hand in your badge. It follows you into whatever comes next. Which means you have some agency over what you bring with you.

In this episode, I talk about how to design your departure around what actually matters to you, whether you have a year of runway or a few hours.

What you'll learn:

• Why "how do you want to feel on your way out" is the question most people skip
• How your values can guide the practical decisions you make before you go
• What to do with resentment before it follows you out the door
• How to use whatever runway you have (or don't) to leave well
• Why a layoff doesn't have to mean leaving badly

How you leave is the first decision you make about who you're becoming next.
