Team resets for stretched, burnt-out teams
A Human Reset team session gives a stretched team permission to pause: in 30 to 90 minutes Shareen Richter guides people through laughter, breathwork, movement and connection so they leave lighter, reconnected and with practical resets they can use the next day. It runs on-site in Johannesburg and across South Africa, or online.
No performing. No personal sharing. Seated welcome. On-site across South Africa or online.
When do teams book a Human Reset?
Teams book a Human Reset when they're still delivering but the cost is starting to show.
- After a demanding season: year-end, audit, budget, peak trading, a big project go-live.
- Through change: restructuring, mergers, new leadership, return-to-office or hybrid shifts.
- When connection has thinned: people working side by side but not really together.
- For wellness days and campaigns: Mental Health Awareness Month, Women's Day, staff appreciation, employee wellbeing weeks.
- To open or close something: team days, strategy sessions, leadership offsites, year-end functions.
What happens in a team session?
It's hands-on from the first minute. People take part rather than sit and listen.
- Arrive. Shareen meets the room where it is: tired, sceptical, quiet or busy.
- Shift. Guided laughter, breath and movement change the energy. People feel the difference for themselves.
- Connect. Shared, low-pressure moments reconnect colleagues. Nobody has to disclose anything.
- Practise. People learn two or three short resets for real moments: before a hard conversation, after a frustrating email, between meetings.
- Carry forward. The team leaves with a shared reset language and simple tools to keep using.
What will your team leave with?
- Lighter energy in the room, and a shared experience people talk about afterwards
- Simple reset tools for breath, movement and laughter, each taking under two minutes
- Reconnection that doesn't rely on trust-falls or forced sharing
- Permission to pause, modelled by leadership, so it becomes normal to reset, restart & refocus

"On behalf of the entire team, a massive THANK YOU for the most amazing laughing session at our team building. Within minutes the entire room was filled with joy, connection and genuine belly laughs. We left lighter, brighter and more connected than ever before."
"Shareen got people laughing and connecting, including colleagues who were quiet at first. Afterwards, people were still talking about it and using what they'd learnt."

- Seated participation throughout; no physical contact
- Adapted for culture, language, faith, dress, age and physical ability
- Works for 10 people in a boardroom or hundreds in a hall
- Online sessions work on Teams, Zoom or Google Meet for remote and hybrid teams
Team Resets FAQ
Is this team building?
It's a modern alternative. It builds connection through a shared felt experience, not through competition or games, and there's a practical skill attached.
Can leaders take part without losing face?
Yes. Nobody is made the joke or asked to perform. Leaders who join in often give the rest of the team permission to pause.
Can you run it online?
Yes. Live online sessions work for remote and hybrid teams, with resets people can do at their desks.
Can it form part of our wellness programme?
Yes. It's a practical, non-clinical option for wellness days and campaigns. It does not replace EAP or professional care.
