About this listen
Layoffs are never just numbers on a spreadsheet—they’re stories, lives, and often, heartbreak. In this episode, Yoni Greenbaum unpacks what it means to lead with humanity when you have to let people go—and why how you show upmatters just as much as what you say.
Expect:
• A candid look at the emotional weight of delivering layoffs
• Why “staying in the room” changes how that moment lands
• What leaders owe the people who stay behind
If you're navigating layoffs—or carrying the aftershocks—this one’s for you.
🎧 Listen in, lead better, and hold the human part of leadership front and center.
