Grief-Ready Teams® Training

Grief doesn’t stay at home.
And when it shows up at work, most leaders freeze—not because they don’t care, but because they’ve never been trained for these moments.

Grief-Ready Teams is a practical leadership training series that helps organizations prepare for loss before they’re forced to improvise.

Most organizations start with the First 48 Hours.
From there, teams can deepen skills and embed grief-readiness into culture over time.

Grief-Ready Teams: The First 48 Hours
Foundational Leadership Training

When loss hits a workplace, the first 48 hours matter more than leaders realize.

This facilitated session equips leaders to respond well when the call comes—with clear next steps, steady communication, and appropriate support—without guessing or overstepping boundaries.

This training focuses on leadership readiness, not therapy.

Leaders learn:
• What to do immediately after a loss occurs
• How to communicate with clarity and care
• What grieving employees actually need (and what to avoid)
• How to support the wider team without creating pressure or confusion
• A simple 48-hour response plan leaders can follow with confidence

Format
• 60–90 minute facilitated session
• Practical scripts, checklists, and tools
• Designed for managers, HR leaders, and executives

Best for:
Organizations that want leaders prepared instead of reactive.

Grief-Ready Teams Scenario Lab
Practicing the Hard Moments Before They Happen

Knowing what to do is one thing.
Practicing it is what builds confidence.

The Scenario Lab is a hands-on, facilitated training where leaders work through realistic workplace grief situations in a safe, guided environment.

Using real-world scenarios, leaders practice:
• What to say (and what not to say)
• How to show up in meetings, emails, and conversations
• Where common mistakes happen—and how to correct them

Live coaching and guided feedback help leaders build confidence before they’re tested in real life.

Format
• 90–120 minute facilitated session
• Realistic workplace scenarios
• Live guidance, correction, and discussion

Best for:
Organizations that want deeper alignment and leaders who don’t freeze under pressure.

Grief-Ready Teams Culture Intensive
Building Long-Term Readiness and Alignment

The Culture Intensive is a multi-session engagement designed to embed grief-readiness into leadership culture—not just individual moments.

This offering ensures leaders across the organization respond consistently, not based on personality or guesswork.

Includes:
• Executive briefing and alignment
• Foundational First 48 Hours training
• Scenario Lab practice
• Manager-level communication alignment
• Guidance on policies, language, and internal messaging

The goal is not perfection.
It’s shared language, steady leadership, and a culture that doesn’t improvise when things get hard.

Best for:
Organizations focused on retention, trust, and long-term leadership development.
