Description:

Grief doesn’t clock out when we do, but most workplaces aren’t equipped to handle it well.

This webinar will share how to navigate loss in professional settings, whether you’re a business owner supporting a grieving employee, a colleague unsure of what to say, or someone trying to find your own footing after a loss.

You’ll walk away with practical tools and language for supporting yourself and others through grief, a clearer understanding of what grieving people need in a professional setting, and the confidence to show up with compassion instead of uncertainty.
