Coaching Leaders in Preparing for and Conducting Discharge Meetings

Michael J. Mirarchi is recognized as a leading expert in employment-related lawsuit prevention.
As an Employee Relations Counselor, he is dedicated to helping employers stay litigation-free.
Drawing from over 35 years of experience as an employer defense attorney and as a HR Vice
President, he developed “Reset the Clock - Practical Employee Relations for Leaders.” He has
presented it over 1,350 times to more than 34,500 leaders at employers across North America.
Mr. Mirarchi believes that most leaders exercise their abilities with fairness, integrity, and
professionalism. Nevertheless, there are plenty of opportunities to run into potential liability
situations. In these situations, leaders who know what to do and how to do it have a tremendous
advantage over those who don’t, in avoiding lawsuits.

He has presented the HR Professional version of this program for SHRM Chapters across the
country, biannually for DallasHR.

In 2013, Mike was recognized as the first inductee into the HRSouthwest Conference Speaker Hall
of Fame. Over the last 30 years, he has consistently been one of the highest-rated speakers,
excelling in content, professionalism, and delivery.

Mike received the 2024 DallasHR Lifetime Achievement Award for dedicating his career to
advancing the HR profession and making a lasting impact on Dallas HR. He is an educator and a
trusted advisor to the entire DallasHR community.

In conjunction with industry and professional associations, he has conducted live TV broadcasts,
webinars, and on-line programs, in addition to presenting at regional and national conferences.
Mr. Mirarchi has a B.S. in Business Administration and a Law Degree from Seton Hall University.
