Team resets for South African workplaces
A reset your team can actually feel
Human Reset is a hands-on team session, created by Shareen Richter, that uses guided laughter, breathwork, movement and connection to help stretched, burnt-out teams feel a real shift and leave with simple reset tools. It runs 30, 60 or 90 minutes, on-site anywhere in South Africa or online, and nobody has to be funny.
Nobody has to be funny, perform or share anything personal. Seated participation welcome. On-site across South Africa or online.

Does this sound like your team right now?
If you recognise one of these, a Human Reset was built for your room.
The team that's carrying too much.
Deadlines, targets, a heavy year. They're still delivering, but the energy has gone flat and the jokes have stopped. They need permission to pause before they push on.
The team that's been through change.
A restructure, a merger, new leadership or a hybrid shift. People work side by side but aren't really connecting. They need a shared moment that rebuilds connection without forcing anyone to open up.
The room that needs to come alive.
Day two of the conference, the 2 pm slot after lunch, the year-end function or the strategy offsite. People need to reset, restart & refocus so the rest of the programme lands. Conference energiser options.

What does your team take back to work?
They leave lighter, and they leave with tools. The shift is felt in the room. The reset tools are simple enough to use the same afternoon.
- A felt shift, not a lecture. People experience a change in energy and mood for themselves. Nobody has to be told how to feel.
- Reset tools for real pressure. These are short breath, movement and laughter resets people can use before a difficult conversation, after a frustrating email or between back-to-back meetings.
- Reconnection. Shared laughter gives the team a common reference point, so it doesn't depend on anyone sharing anything personal.
- A shared language. "Let's take a reset" becomes something the team can say and do together.
No single session can promise a fixed outcome. Human Reset is a facilitated wellbeing and learning experience, not therapy or medical treatment.

Who will be in the room with your team?
Shareen Richter, the creator of Human Reset. She has been facilitating since 2009 and has trained more than 50,000 people across 500+ organisations.
Shareen spoke at TEDxJohannesburgWomen (2013). She was personally named "Laughter Professor" by Dr Madan Kataria, founder of the global Laughter Yoga movement. She is the Amazon bestselling author of Expert Mavericks and holds an Honours degree in Industrial Psychology.
She reads the room before she asks anything of it. Quiet people, sceptical people and senior leaders can all take part at their own level, without losing face.
"People were laughing and connecting within minutes. But what made it worthwhile was having something practical they could use afterwards and the shift they felt while doing it."
Results from real rooms:
- PwC Virtual Reality Reset (October 2026): hundreds took part. 82% of those surveyed felt calmer, and 91% wanted more resets like it at work. (Self-reported, anonymous post-session survey.)
- Nando's International Conference, Sun City (June 2026): 900+ guests across 4 sessions. Nando's SA has booked Shareen many times.

- Non-clinical and POPIA-aware: no health information is collected from your people.
Questions HR and event teams ask
What is a Human Reset?
A Human Reset is a facilitated, hands-on team experience created by Shareen Richter. It uses guided laughter, breathwork, movement and connection so people feel a real shift in the room, and it gives them simple reset tools to use again at work.
Does anyone have to be funny or share anything personal?
No. Nobody has to be funny, perform, or share anything personal. Everything is an invitation, people choose their level, and there's no physical contact.
Can people take part seated?
Yes. Every part of the session can be done seated, so it works for mixed fitness levels, formal attire and conference seating.
How long is a session?
Sessions run 30, 60 or 90 minutes, or a custom format. Shareen recommends the best fit once she knows your goal, group and time slot.
Where do you run sessions?
On-site at your office or venue anywhere in South Africa, or live online for remote and hybrid teams.
How big can the group be?
Sessions work for small teams through to full conference halls. Tell us your numbers and Shareen will shape the format around them.
How much does it cost?
Every proposal is tailored to your group size, format and location. Send an enquiry and you'll receive a written proposal.
Is this therapy or a medical intervention?
No. Human Reset is a facilitated wellbeing and learning experience. It is not therapy or medical treatment and does not replace professional care.
What happens after I enquire?
Shareen reads every enquiry herself. Within one working day she'll contact you to confirm details and then send a tailored proposal.
