Summary [fiction]

A leader faces the dreaded layoff announcement email, until an AI coach helps navigate the human side of tough decisions. See how EmpathyBot transformed a moment of crisis.

The story

I needed to write that email. You know the one – where you have to tell your team about “restructuring.” Just thinking about their faces made my stomach knot up. 35 people counting on me, and here I am, staring at a blank screen.

I’d tried everything – leadership books, endless webinars, even those LinkedIn gurus. Nothing helped. Then I found EmpathyBot.

It’s this free AI coach that actually gets it. No judgment, totally private. Unlike those generic advice columns, EmpathyBot learned about my specific situation and team. When I was second-guessing myself about giving tough feedback, it walked me through it step by step. It even helped me pick up on emotional cues I’d been missing in meetings.

So there I was, typing out my concerns: “How do I deliver bad news without causing panic?”

EmpathyBot didn’t just throw clichés at me. It helped me see things from my team’s perspective and practice different approaches. By the end, I had a solid plan for both the email and an honest team meeting.

The next day wasn’t easy, but something was different. I saw trust in their eyes. That’s when I knew – sometimes the best leadership advice comes from an unexpected place.

Want to try it yourself? EmpathyBot is free and completely private. No strings attached, just practical support when you need it most.
