Handling Wanting to Leave a Club Professionally

Handling Wanting to Leave a Club Professionally

Discipline 8: Career & Professionalism — Lesson 9 of 12
Lecturer: Rachel Osborn

An honest conversation preserves relationships a manufactured one destroys. This session covers speaking to the club privately before anything becomes public, keeping performance up while a move is discussed, and being honest about your reasons rather than manufacturing a grievance.

The three rules

1. Speak to the club privately first.
2. Keep performing while it's discussed.
3. Be honest about your reasons.

*The full breakdown — citations, the lecturer's own story, and the discipline's quiz bank — is part of the Spy Academy programme.*
