FOR EMPLOYERS WHO SEE WHAT'S COMING

Prep Your People

AI disruption is already reshaping knowledge work, and your employees know it. Some are anxious. Some are quietly dreaming of something different. Most just want you to be honest with them that no one knows how it's all going to go, and appreciate that you want to help them prepare.

What this is:

This isn't a wellness perk or a generic financial planning benefit. It's a deeply personal, boutique experience with a former tech manager who chose the outside—and wrote the books on it.  

I spent nine years inside corporate tech (my third career), left voluntarily in 2022, and have been living the uncertainty your employees are bracing for.

I've navigated scrappy income, nontraditional benefits, and the very real question of "how long can I make this last?" And I've written two books for knowledge workers about autonomy, money, and building a meaningful life that doesn't depend entirely on a job.

That combination—financial coaching background, experience living outside corporate safety, and a humorist's/author's ability to reframe what's possible—is what makes this different from anything else you could offer your people right now.

What your employees get:

In two 1:1 video sessions of 50-60 minutes, personalized video walk-thrus, and a guide of resources and next steps, your employees get:
  • A warm, relatable human helping them organize their immediate finances in a way most people never have.
  • A crystal clear picture of their financial runway and multiple scenarios to see how long their savings could last in a transition.
  • Concrete plans for building additional runway using existing income.
  • A reframe of what's possible on the other side of a job — from someone already living it.
  • The opportunity to ask anything of someone who's been outside the corporate safety net for years.
  • Signed copies of both books—Dear Fellow Spender and Dear Fellow Dreamer—practical, story-driven guides for navigating money and uncertainty.

What you get:

  • More engaged, more empowered employees, no matter what happens.‍‍
  • ‍You sleep better knowing you've helped your people get their financial footing and an honest, human perspective on facing what may be ahead.
  • Even thought you're not doing it for the PR, sometimes doing right by your people just is good for PR.
“How Everyone Wins When Employees Have Runway & Autonomy”
Financial and personal autonomy are obvious "wins" for people with plans for their life. But they're also good for the companies who employ them.

Language to share with your employees:

Headlines like this one and this one project knowledge work job disruption of up to 50% within a matter of years. Articles like this one substantiate it starting to happen. Employees are aware of these headlines, and the uncertainty they cause affects their work and morale right now. Prepared and autonomous employees can be happier, more engaged employees—no matter what comes.

Here's messaging you can copy, paste, and make your own:‍‍

Initial message:

“We've been paying attention to how AI is reshaping the job market for knowledge workers—and we want to invest in your preparedness, not just your performance, since none of us know exactly how this is going to go.

We're contracting with Emily Burnett, a former tech manager, financial coach, and author of two books on financial autonomy and navigating uncertainty. She offers you two private sessions plus behind-the-scenes work to get your financial house in order, understand your runway, and think through your options. Learn more about this benefit here.

Note: This isn't about layoffs. It's about giving you the clarity and confidence to face whatever comes for all of us. We have contracted for __ spots; first come, first serve. Book yours here: (link provided after initial discussion).”

How it differs from the 401k advisor or EAP:

If an employee (or leadership) asks why this is different from your existing financial benefits, here's the distinction worth making:

“Most financial wellness benefits focus on long-range planning—investing, retirement projections, long-term debt management. This is different. It's a clear-eyed picture of right now, what your employees can do to create runway, and built specifically around job transition scenarios most financial advisors don't focus on. It fills a gap nobody else is filling.”
