The HR Reset
There is another way to do this work.
A space for experienced HR leaders to step back from the demands of the work, reconnect with themselves and others, and explore a different way forward.
Planned for March 2027 · Armidale, NSW
HR can mean holding difficult conversations, navigating organisational dysfunction, absorbing the emotional weight of decisions and carrying responsibilities that should not sit with HR alone.
It can be hard to find the space to step back, think clearly and consider how we want to do this work — and what needs to change.
The HR Reset is being developed as a different kind of experience: time away from the everyday demands to reflect, connect with people who understand the work, and explore practical ways to approach it differently.
A space to put the work down for a moment.
What might you leave with?
The HR Reset is being designed to give you more than a break from the day-to-day. It's an opportunity to step back, take stock and consider what working differently could look like.
Clarity about what is yours to carry
Recognise what belongs to you, what belongs to others, and where you may be carrying more than you should.
Practical ways to work differently
Explore approaches to boundaries, difficult conversations and the demands of HR leadership that you can take back into your working life.
Connection with people who understand
Spend time with other experienced HR leaders who understand the complexity, responsibility and emotional weight of the work.
Space to reconnect with yourself
Make room to reflect on how you want to lead, what matters to you, and what needs to change for your work to be more sustainable.
Not another conference. Not just a wellness weekend.
The HR Reset is being created for experienced HR leaders who need the space to step outside the everyday demands of the role.
Across two full days of programming, spread over three days, the intention is to combine thoughtful facilitated conversations, practical learning, reflection, meaningful connection and time to reset.
The experience is being planned for a small group of around 20 people, creating room for honest conversations and connections that can continue beyond the retreat.
The aim is simple: to leave with a clearer head, fresh perspective and practical ideas for doing this work differently.

Help shape The HR Reset.
The first HR Reset is taking shape, and I'd love to hear from people who understand the realities of working in HR.
If you've ever felt that the work asks a lot of you — and that there must be another way to do it — this experience is being created with you in mind.
Register your interest to hear more as the retreat develops, or share what would make it genuinely valuable for you.
There's no commitment at this stage. Just an opportunity to be part of the conversation.
