Conversation Prep

The 'I Want to Leave' Conversation Prep Sheet

One Page. Before You Say It Out Loud to Them.

This is for:

For the person who has decided they want to leave a job and is preparing to have the conversation with their manager — who needs a structured tool for what to say and how to handle the responses.

You'll produce:your Your Exit Conversation Prep Sheet

The Name It First Experience

You have been rehearsing this conversation for months. Your Exit Conversation Prep Sheet gives you structure for what to say, what not to say, and how to hold the responses — guilt, counter-offers, surprise, anger. One page. The words you need before you walk in. The output is not practice in your head. It is Your Exit Conversation Prep Sheet — a written, pressure-tested script for the conversation and its aftermath.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What do you actually want to say — not the professional version, the honest one?
  2. What are you most afraid will happen when you say it?
  3. What do you need to have decided before this conversation so you can hold your ground?

Research basis

Bridges on transitions and the neutral zone / cognitive rehearsal research on high-stakes conversations / Ferris on political skill and workplace navigation.

The Essential path takes you to your finished document by the questions that matter most. The Full-depth path walks every question, every scenario, every angle. Both produce the same signed document — one just goes deeper on the way there.

Essential path

Shorter sessions. The questions that go directly to the document.

Full depth

Every question. Every scenario, every angle.

Paper doesn’t change its mind.

Thoughts change. Documents don’t. The answers you write are there when you return — unchanged by memory or mood.

You won’t just feel clearer — you’ll have written proof of what you decided.

Writing is the mechanism by which internal clarity becomes external evidence. Evidence you can return to, share, and hold someone — including yourself — accountable to.

Every question is answerable by everyone.

Every question in every title is answerable by the person for whom the assumed experience is true and by the person for whom it is not. No reader is excluded by how a question is built.
