Does this sound familiar?

You're capable.
You're responsible.
You're getting through everything
‍
But lately...

  • Your head rarely switches off
  • You know what you should be doing, but are not doing it.
  • You're snapping more at the people who matter most to you.
  • Your health and recovery are being neglected.
  • You’re sliding into addictive behaviours, but are living in denial.
  • You’re getting everything done, but at a cost.
  • You know you are capable of more, but don’t know how to get to the next level.

Why the Reset?

For decades, we’ve worked with people in high-performance environments — from Formula One and elite sport to CEOs, executives and financial markets. The Reset brings those lessons together with evidence-informed practices and makes them practical for everyday life.

What you’ll get:

  • Step away and take stock — look properly at how you’re operating across your energy, attention, health, relationships and life.
  • See how the different parts connect — understand how the five Vitalis elements influence one another and your overall capacity.
  • Build greater capacity — develop practical strategies for greater clarity, energy, presence and sustainable performance.
  • Learn through experience and others — practical exercises, conversation and shared learning with other capable, busy people.
  • Turn insight into action — build your own 90-day plan, supported by ongoing coaching and accountability.

Program Structure

  • Onboarding
    • Before the Reset begins, you’ll complete the Vitalis Human Performance Scale, a 40-item assessment designed to establish your individual baseline across the five elements of the Vitalis model.
  • Immersive in-person sessions, 2-days
    • The Vitalis Reset gives you two days to step away from the demands of everyday life and take a considered look at how you’re operating —your energy, attention, health, relationships and the way you respond under pressure.
  • Implementation, 90-day plan
    • Together we'll help you build a practical plan for the next 90 days by identifying:
      • the habits worth protecting
      • the routines you'll continue
      • where you're most likely to drift
      • practical strategies to maintain momentum
  • Weekly group coaching sessions online, 6 sessions
    • The 6 ongoing weekly online sessions after the conclusion of the reset create the opportunity to:
      • talk through what's working and what isn't
      • learn from what other participants are experiencing
      • receive coaching and feedback
      • make adjustments
      • stay accountable
      • continue building the practices that matter most to you

The objective is simple:

Turn insight...

into sustainable habits

You don't need to be burnt out to recognise:

The way you're operating...

isn't sustainable

Your investment

The Reset asks for a genuine commitment of your time and attention.

We know the people who participate in Vitalis lead busy lives. That's why we've designed the Reset around a concentrated period together, followed by a manageable weekly commitment as you put the learning into practice.
