You need this course.

Most employees sign whatever their employer puts in front of them — because they don't know they have options. This course changes that.

  • You just received a severance offer

    Your employer handed you an agreement and you have days — or hours — to decide. You need to understand what you're signing before it's too late.

  • You want to negotiate but don't know how

    You suspect the offer isn't fair but you don't know what's negotiable, how to ask, or what language to use in your counteroffer.

  • You can't afford a full attorney review

    Attorney consultations can cost $500–$1,500+. This course gives you the legal knowledge to advocate for yourself at a fraction of the cost.

Three focused modules. Real-world results.

  • Module 1, duration: Module 1 · ~7 min

    Reviewing Your Agreement

    Learn to identify and understand the most common clauses in a standard severance agreement — from severance pay and COBRA to release of claims and non-disparagement.

    • Standard clauses: severance pay, COBRA, release of claims, confidentiality
    • Release of claims is the most important clause — understand what you're giving up

  • Module 2, duration: Module 2 · ~6 min

    Negotiating Your Agreement

    Understand your leverage, identify what's negotiable, and learn how to communicate a professional counteroffer — even during a mass layoff.

    • Almost everything is negotiable — the amount, timeline, COBRA, and more
    • Know your walk-away point before you start negotiating

  • Module 3, duration: Module 3 · ~4 min

    Signing & Moving Forward

    What to do before you sign, your ADEA revocation rights if you're over 40, and how to protect yourself after the agreement is executed.

    Real clients. Real outcomes.

    I really appreciate Janelle Romero-Batra's help. She helped me negotiate a severance agreement, and thankfully I was able to receive more than the initial offer. She gave excellent legal advice and helped me see my situation in a better light. I am so glad I came across her TikTok — it was really great timing.
