Reset for Government Leadership

A Private, In-House 9-Month Leadership Reset for Stability, Trust, and Retention

RESET for Government Leadership is a private, in-house leadership development and coaching engagement designed for government agencies navigating burnout, turnover, political pressure, and fractured team dynamics.  

This is not a one-off training.


This is a nine-month reset of how leadership teams relate, decide, communicate, and lead, together.


Agencies partner with The Reset to help leaders exhale, stabilize, rebuild trust, and create working agreements that actually hold, even in slow-moving, high-pressure bureaucratic systems.

What This Is, and What It Is Not

What this is:

  • A private, customized leadership coaching and learning series

  • Delivered in-house for one agency or department

  • High-touch, relationship-centered, and implementation-focused

  • Designed for real government constraints, not ideal conditions

  • Rooted in evidence-based mindfulness, restorative dialogue, and applied leadership practice

  • Focused on retention, trust, and sustainable performance

What this is not:
  • A public group coaching program
  • A generic leadership training or DEI workshop
  • A compliance-only or checkbox initiative
  • A self-paced course with minimal support
  • A short-term morale boost without follow-through

✔ Customized leadership training

✔ Individual and group coaching

✔ Pre- and post-assessment

What Leadership Teams Are Saying

(Based on real post-retreat evaluation data)

"Rochelle was fantastic to work with. She created an environment that was comfortable, conducive, and safe to allow vulnerabilities in learning new things and sharing unique perspectives and experiences. She facilitated discussions beautifully and had a combination of learning presentation types so everyone could take something from the training regardless of learning style. Having her conduct this training with my team helped me to learn more about my colleagues' experiences, and will help me collaborate more effectively and respectfully with them in the future. Combining these teachings with self-care and mindfulness practices, I'd absolutely recommend The Reset for organizational growth and training.

- Seth Godin, Equity Manager for City of Golden Valley 

I left feeling reenergized, inspired, and deeply motivated to continue my work with a fresh perspective.

“It’s very difficult to facilitate facilitators, but Rochelle did it with clarity, firmness, and spaciousness.”

"My team at work did The Reset workshop in two parts, and it was fantastic. I left with new ways to practice self-care throughout the workday that I wouldn't have found otherwise. Would highly recommend!"

"Ro has such lovely energy—her vulnerability and relatability made it easy to feel comfortable and open during the workshop, and her ability to create a safe, supportive space fostered that openness throughout the experience. I walked away with a deep gratitude for the journey she led us on."

“We shed some of the toxicity of the past — we can move forward more strongly now.”

"I had the privilege of participating in the Sankalpa Workshop with Ro as part of my Yoga Teacher Training with Peace in Practice, and it was an incredibly valuable experience. While I've done a fair amount of inner work in the past, Ro's guided meditation was truly profound. She asked us to connect with our inner wise guide to seek the way forward, and the depth and clarity that came from this encounter were transformative for me."

"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."

“We finally felt aligned again. It was an energizing reset.”

“The tools worked. I used them immediately.”

“Trust was enhanced.”

Training and Coaching
Activities Included

1. Pre- & Post-Assessment (Measuring What Changes)

We begin and end with a structured assessment to evaluate:

  • Team trust and communication

  • Leadership clarity and alignment

  • Decision-making dynamics

  • Capacity and burnout indicators

This allows the agency to see what shifted, not just feel it.

2. Customized Leadership Training Series

A sequence of interactive sessions delivered over nine months, such as:

  1. The Leadership Reset: Stabilizing Under Pressure

  2. Understanding Team Capacity & Stress

  3. Communication, Feedback & Accountability

  4. Navigating Conflict Without Avoidance

  5. Power, Authority & Role Clarity in Government

  6. Boundaries, Burnout & Sustainable Leadership

  7. Decision-Making in Politically Complex Systems

  8. Embedding New Agreements & Practices

Sessions are practical, dialogic, and grounded in real scenarios.

3. Individual and Small-Group Coaching

Leaders receive confidential coaching support to:

  • Apply learning to real leadership challenges

  • Work through difficult conversations

  • Build confidence and clarity

  • Reduce isolation and overwhelm

Coaching is not theoretical; it is applied and situational.

4. Complementary Weekly Reset Practice

All participating leaders receive complimentary access to the Weekly Reset:

  • A live, guided Zoom practice

  • Short, evidence-based mindfulness and grounding practices

  • Nervous system regulation for leaders carrying high responsibility

  • Optional but highly supportive

This reinforces the work between sessions.

5. Self-Paced Course Access

Participants also receive access to a self-paced Reset course:

  • Reinforces core concepts

  • Allows leaders to revisit tools on their own time

  • Supports different learning styles

  • Reduces reliance on memory alone

This content supports, but does not replace, the in-house work.

6. Implementation and Team Agreements

Throughout the nine months, leaders:

  • Create shared leadership agreements

  • Identify and test new practices

  • Address real friction points

  • Translate insight into action

This is where trust becomes durable, not theoretical.

7. Continuation Option (Lighter-Touch Support)

At the end of nine months, agencies may opt into:

  • Monthly check-ins

  • Ongoing coaching

  • Periodic reset sessions

This allows momentum to continue without starting over.

Why This Works

The Reset works because it:

✔ Treats leaders as humans, not just roles

✔ Addresses burnout without shaming

✔ Supports hard conversations without forcing them

✔ Balances accountability with care

✔ Honors the realities of government work

✔ Builds trust slowly and intentionally

This is the transformation you didn’t know you needed until you feel it happening in your team.
