Fifty minutes. Fifteen leaders. One problem worth thinking differently about.
Reset Talks is a small, curated Thinking Room where leaders, experts and decision-makers come together around one real organisational challenge.
No keynote. No panel. No prescribed answers.
We bring the right people into the room, ask better questions, challenge assumptions and build on each other's thinking.
You don't just hear a new perspective. You become part of creating one.
By invitation only.
“Sometimes we become so focused on solving the problem that we stop seeing what's possible.”
What Is A Reset Talk?
Where leaders challenge assumptions, explore new ideas, and rethink what's possible.
You look at the challenge from a different angle, talk it through with the room, and go deeper into what's actually driving it. That's usually when you see a solution you hadn't thought of before.
Once a month, Sharon brings the right people into the room around one real organisational challenge — always a scientist or a leader who's lived it, so there's real expertise in the room to actually explore it. We look at the human side too: the neuroscience, the science, the social dynamics, in a conversation shaped entirely by where the room takes it.
You leave with new ideas for solving it — ready to bring straight back to your team.
What We Talk About
The things keeping HR Directors and CEOs up at night are the conversations we're having.
Reset Talks brings together HR leaders and directors facing the same challenges because these aren't one-organisation problems, they're global ones. Each Talk takes a single subject. You bring the real questions, Sharon brings the expert, and together the room opens up, connects, challenges, strategizes, and solves.
- Why high performers become disengaged and what usually gets missed about employee engagement
- The hidden cost of psychological safety failures on retention and trust
- Why leadership training doesn't stick and what leadership development actually requires
- The disconnect running most workplaces, and what it costs manager effectiveness
- What causes managers to revert to old patterns under pressure
- Burnout prevention beyond wellbeing programs
- The neuroscience of trust in teams, and what it means for culture transformation
What We Explore
Every Reset Talk explores one challenge that organisations are genuinely struggling with from an angle most conversations about it never reach.
Engagement
Burnout
Communication Breakdowns
Toxic Dynamics
High Performance
Biology & Environment
Is This For You?
The Reset Talk isn't open to everyone and that's intentional.
Curious
You come curious, not just to collect answers. You're willing to ask the questions you don't always get to ask.
Open
You come ready to share your experience, your perspective, your honest take on what's not working.
Influential
You have a voice in your organisation, or you're working to build one. You're here to make a difference.
This is an exchange. Everyone in the room contributes. That's what makes it worth showing up for.

Lessons About Building High-Performing Teams
Guest Speaker Marcia Goddard
RESET TALKS Retention is still one of the biggest challenges organisations face. We look at engagement scores. Benefits. Workload. Culture. Compensation. But what if we are looking in the wrong place? What actually happens in a team when the person leading it is overwhelmed, under pressure, or operating from survival mode? And what does that state do neurologically to the people around them? That is the question we are bringing into Resettalks on 22 September. Invite only. Maximum 15 leaders. 12:00 CET.

What Your Team Is Communicating Without Words
Guest Speaker Francisco Marques-Teixeira
Most organisations are trying to fix performance with the wrong information. Your surveys tell you what people are willing to say. Not what is actually happening. And the gap between those two things is costing you in disengagement, in turnover, in teams that could perform so much better if you just knew where to look. In this session you will learn how to read the signals your team is already sending and what to do with them. Invite only. Maximum 15 leaders. 12:00 CET.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions people actually ask
Reset Talks is a monthly leadership roundtable designed for HR Directors, People Leaders, Founders, and CEOs. Each session explores a different leadership, culture, or people-related challenge through expert insights and meaningful discussion.
No. Reset Talks is an interactive roundtable discussion. There are no presentations, sales pitches, or slide decks. Participants are invited to contribute, share perspectives, and explore real challenges together.
Reset Talks is designed for HR Directors, People Leaders, Founders, CEOs, and senior decision-makers who are responsible for people, culture, leadership, or organisational performance.
Attendance is by invitation only. If you'd like to be considered for a future session, register your interest and include your LinkedIn profile. This helps us curate a group of leaders who will benefit from and contribute to the conversation.
We intentionally keep the group small to create meaningful discussion, psychological safety, and genuine connection. The value of Reset Talks comes from the quality of the conversation, not the size of the audience.
Depending on the topic, we invite experienced leaders, directors, founders, HR professionals, neuroscientists, and subject matter experts who bring practical insights and fresh perspectives to the discussion.
Topics are driven by the questions leaders are facing right now. Examples include:
- Employee engagement
- Leadership effectiveness
- Retention and turnover
- Psychological safety
- Burnout prevention
- Trust and culture
- High-performance teams
- Manager development
- Human behaviour at work
Most leadership events focus on delivering answers. Reset Talks focuses on exploring the questions that matter most. Through expert perspectives and peer discussion, participants leave with new insights, fresh thinking, and practical ideas they can apply immediately.
Connection is part of the experience, but Reset Talks is not a traditional networking event. The focus is on meaningful conversation, shared learning, and building relationships with leaders who are navigating similar challenges.
