Lead Through Conflict. Don’t Avoid It.
The RESET Method™ blends nervous system science, restorative leadership, and organizational strategy to help teams move from exhaustion and disconnection to cohesion and sustainable impact.
“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
-Peter Drucker
The Problem
In social impact work, urgency is constant. Inside many teams, that urgency hardens into reactivity, conflict avoidance, and people-pleasing. Feedback gets fuzzy, hard truths go unsaid, and leaders end up managing resentment instead of relationships.
For U.S. nonprofits, government agencies, and foundations—often operating with shrinking budgets, political volatility, and leadership transitions, the cost is steep:
Burnout and turnover among your most values-aligned staff
Uneven morale and quiet disengagement
Unproductive conflict and stalled decisions
Loss of institutional knowledge and continuity
Declining trust and innovation across departments
This isn’t just an HR issue. It’s a leadership and systems issue. When culture, equity, and wellness are treated as side projects—not built into how you plan and supervise—strategy can’t stick and your best people won’t stay.
The RESET Method™ restores depleted energy, rebuilds trust, and creates a sustainable operating rhythm so your team can speak the truth with care, set clear boundaries, and deliver on the mission without burning out.
Leadership Development is Our Zone of Genius.
Leaders leave our spaces lighter and more grounded, with clarity in their purpose, connection to their team, and hope restored in what’s possible.
We help leaders and teams move from:
Conflict-avoidant ➔ Conflict-curious
Burned out ➔ Emotionally grounded
Reactive ➔ Responsive
People Pleasing ➔ Clear Boundaries
Values on Paper ➔ Values in Practice

1-on-1 Coaching
For leaders ready to feel grounded, clear, and confident again. In this 3- or 6-month coaching partnership, you’ll learn to navigate hard conversations, set boundaries with compassion, and lead without losing yourself in the process.
“For the first time in my life, work is just one part of my life, not the whole thing. That shift has been huge. Coaching gave me the tools to slow down, notice what I actually need in order to feel resourced, and approach work in a way that feels more sustainable.” -Kelsey Parsons, Director of Human Resources, Garage Grown Gear

The Reset Lab Group Coaching
The Reset Lab is a 3-month, community-based program for social impact leaders who want to restore vitality with mindfulness-based stress reduction practices.
“What I’m most proud of is being able to apply what I learned in Reset Lab in real-life situations. Whether it was taking a moment to ground myself, setting intentions, or using conversation frameworks in tense moments, I could feel the tools working. That’s been powerful.” -Marcos Cruz, Associate Director, Career Services, Macalester College

Workshops, Strategy & Retreats
Grounded in The RESET Method™, our engagements are customized to your organization’s unique dynamics and goals. Before every program, we survey participants in depth to design experiences that meet your team where they are. From deep-dive, multi-session series to light-touch retreats and workshops, each engagement blends strategy, storytelling, and nervous-system science to create lasting impact.
“Rochelle is a soothing presence and a wise guide. I appreciated her modeling the RESET approach in class - it added value in seeing that it’s possible to apply this approach.” -Ramsey County Human Services Leader
Why It Works
After just a few sessions, teams began giving and receiving feedback with more honesty and compassion. Difficult conversations that had been avoided for months started happening—with clarity and care. One manager said, “We’re having some major breakthroughs. I never thought this would happen.”
This is the power of nervous system regulation, structured reflection, and courageous community practice.

"The most amazing moments were when Rochelle prompted us and the team was able to just have an honest and open discussion for 20-30 minutes without her guidance at all. That's when I realized we were unpacking and addressing some serious truths."
