When you start thinking about leaving your job, it's easy to imagine extremes — a dramatic mic-drop exit or the fear that your team will see you as disloyal. 🙃

But a career transition doesn't have to be messy or bridge-burning. You can move into work that fits better while leaving your role, team, and reputation in great shape — think bridge-building, not bridge-burning.

Scott breaks down exactly how to approach your boss once you know it's time to make a change: how to plan the meeting, what to say (and what not to), and how to create a smooth handoff that protects relationships and future opportunities. You'll also hear real examples of people who left well — and how that decision paid off long after they moved on.

Leaving a job can be a win for everyone involved. It all comes down to how intentionally you cross that bridge — and yes, leave the lighter fluid at home. 🔥🚫

What you'll learn:

• A step-by-step approach to resigning professionally so you protect your reputation and keep doors open.
• How to plan and lead the conversation with your boss, including what to say and how to frame your next move.
• Practical ways to create a smooth transition plan that supports your team and leaves your role in great shape.
• Why a well-handled exit can deepen trust and turn coworkers into long-term allies.
• How to move toward a better-fit, more fulfilling job while staying respectful and relationship-focused.
