Private, facilitated conversations designed for organizations who want something more substantive than a keynote and more human than a workshop.
RESET
What This Is
Reset is a live, facilitated session hosted privately for a single organization or institution. Each session centers on a shared human theme and is guided by a skilled facilitator who sets the tone, frames the questions, and ensures the conversation remains grounded, respectful, and productive.
Participants are not lectured. They are invited into dialogue. The goal is not consensus or resolution, but understanding—of one another, of the moment we’re in, and of the questions worth asking together.
What This Is NOT
Reset sessions are not motivational talks, panels, therapy sessions, or team-building exercises. They do not rely on platitudes, forced vulnerability, or performative sharing. There are no slides. No scripts. No prescribed outcomes. What matters is the quality of attention in the room.
How It Takes Shape
Each Reset session is shaped collaboratively and intentionally. We begin by understanding the context of the organization—its people, pressures, and the questions already present beneath the surface. From there, a central theme is identified and the session is structured to support thoughtful participation without forcing it.
The facilitator’s role is not to dominate the room, but to hold it—guiding the flow of conversation, protecting psychological safety, and ensuring the discussion remains meaningful rather than meandering.
who this is for
Reset is designed for organizations and institutions who value depth over performance and reflection over quick fixes. These conversations work especially well for:
Leadership teams navigating complexity or change
Universities and academic communities
Faith-based organizations and nonprofits
Corporate teams seeking stronger culture and trust
Groups who want meaningful engagement without spectacle
This work asks something of participants: presence, honesty, and a willingness to listen.
Why This Works
Most organizations communicate constantly, yet rarely create space to truly listen. Reset address that gap.
By slowing the pace and shifting the posture from presentation to participation, these sessions allow people to speak thoughtfully, hear perspectives they don’t usually encounter, and engage one another without defensiveness.
The result is not a checklist of takeaways, but a shared experience that strengthens understanding and trust.
Where This Comes From
Reset grew out of Happiness Sold Separately, McCosh Films’ long-running podcast exploring meaning, resilience, faith, doubt, and the human experience.
Years of hosting long-form conversations revealed something consistent: people don’t need more information, they need better spaces to talk. These conversations bring that insight into the room.

COMMON QUESTIONs
What exactly is Reset?
Reset is a facilitated conversation designed to help teams slow down, speak honestly, and reconnect around what matters. It is not a keynote, workshop, or training session. Reset creates a structured, human space for reflection and dialogue when things feel heavy, stuck, or unclear.
Who is Reset designed for?
Reset is designed for organizations, teams, and leadership groups navigating stress, change, burnout, or misalignment. It’s especially useful when people feel the need to pause, reset perspective, and restore clarity before moving forward.
What will our team get out of this?
Teams often leave with greater clarity, shared language, and a sense of relief. Conversations that felt difficult or unspoken are surfaced safely, listening improves, and leaders gain insight into what their people are carrying and what needs attention next.
Who leads the session?
Each Reset session is facilitated by a neutral conversation lead and may be anchored by an experienced subject-matter expert relevant to the group. The focus is not on presenting or teaching, but on framing the conversation and guiding meaningful dialogue.
What does Reset cost?
Reset sessions start at $3,000, which includes preparation, a 60–90 minute facilitated session, and a post-session Reset Brief. The Reset Brief synthesizes key themes and patterns from the conversation for leadership, without quotes or attribution.
What happens after the session?
After the session, leaders receive the Reset Brief and a clearer understanding of team dynamics, tensions, and opportunities. Reset does not claim to solve every issue, but it often stabilizes the environment and provides a healthier foundation for next steps.
How do we get started?
The next step is a short conversation to determine whether Reset is a good fit for your organization and timing.
