Reset Conversations
Private, time-bound advisory conversations for leaders navigating complexity, burnout, institutional pressure, or transition.
What this is
A Reset Conversation is a structured, confidential conversation designed to help you assess what’s actually happening in a difficult or high-stakes work situation—and decide what to do next.
People book these conversations when something at work feels off, unstable, or unfair, and they need a place to think clearly before acting.
This is not coaching, therapy, or motivational work.
It’s a clear-headed assessment of your situation, your options, and the tradeoffs involved.
Session Length
Reset Conversations are available as:
90-minute sessions for focused assessment and immediate clarity
Half-day sessions when the situation is complex, political, or high-stakes
Both formats follow the same approach. The difference is how much space you need to fully assess what’s going on..
What It’s For
People use Reset Conversations when they are:
Navigating conflict, pressure, or instability at work
Questioning whether they’re being misread, sidelined, or treated unfairly
Facing a decision they don’t want to rush or regret
Trying to understand power dynamics, expectations, or risk
Deciding whether to stay, push back, renegotiate, or leave
Some people come in unsure.
Some come in knowing something is wrong.
The conversation is designed to handle both.
What to Expect
This is a working conversation.
We slow the situation down and look at it clearly—without assuming you’re wrong, overreacting, or imagining things.
During the session, we:
Clarify what’s actually happening (and what isn’t)
Separate facts, assumptions, and interpretations
Identify pressure points, risks, and leverage
Surface realistic options and timing
Talk through consequences without pushing you toward a decision
The goal is not to fix you or tell you what to do.
The goal is to help you see the situation clearly enough to decide for yourself.
You leave with:
A clearer understanding of what’s going on
Language to describe the situation accurately
Options you can evaluate calmly
A sense of direction that fits your role and capacity
Many people say the most valuable part is having a place to think out loud without being rushed, corrected, or gaslit.
This is strategic advising and support—not therapy, legal advice, or medical care. If you’re in crisis or need clinical treatment, I’ll encourage you to connect with the appropriate support.
