An accelerator for leaders who want to build a new economy — and are ready to be nominated.
Apply nowThe systems we've built are becoming brittle — economically, ecologically, socially. You feel the gap widening between where the world is heading and the future you actually want to help build. You're not ready to give up. You just need the space, the tools, and the people to make it real.
Two 5-day in-person gatherings in Paris anchor the program — one to set the stage, one to close it. In between, the cohort meets online twice a month, three hours at a time, to go deep on one of six themes shaping the world. Three Champions of Impact conferences bring outside voices into the room, and a personal mentor plus a peer coaching group walk with you throughout — not just during the ten months, but after.
Rebuilding rather than just sustaining — strategies that replenish natural, social, and economic systems.
Driving active, creative agency — turning systemic insight into tangible, thriving ventures.
Mapping complexity — seeing the interconnected dynamics behind isolated symptoms.
Refusing easy compromises — bringing philosophical and moral inquiry into executive decisions.
Rebuilding the relational glue — psychological safety, peer accountability, transparent alliances.
You're in business, government, civil society, or your own venture — and you feel the growing gap between the system you operate in and the leader you want to be.
You're ready to move past analysis and good intentions, and you need guidance on where to start.
You believe current systems are falling short, and you're looking for peers ready to act with integrity.
You're not after another certificate or networking event — you want a real shift in how you think, lead, and show up.
Not a role, not a title — a grounded sense of your own values, voice, and the leader you're choosing to become.
Understand the economic, ecological, and political forces you've been living inside — and know where you can move them.
Not just intention — the tools, resilience, and community to move to real action, even when it's uncomfortable.
Expert-led sessions and open discussion challenge the assumptions underneath what you already understand.
An experienced guide accompanies you throughout — someone who holds you accountable and walks the path with you.
Small islands of coherence can shift an entire system to a higher order. This is your island.
Leading within planetary boundaries rather than against them.
Where power, work, and human connection are being reshaped — and where leaders draw the line.
Leading when trust is fracturing and old models are failing.
Who creates value, who captures it, and how money is redirected.
The human, ecological, and political cost behind supply chains and markets.
Where policy, public power, and citizens can intervene.
We ask you to sit with them — to understand, feel, and let a problem change how you think, not just hand you a framework.
Business, political, psychology, ethics, ecology, economics — real change needs more than one way of seeing.
Inspiring professionals, indigenous communities, and local changemakers whose way of seeing the world will challenge what you thought you knew.
Every participant is guided throughout the program — and supported beyond it, because your pledge is only the beginning.
Exclusive of travel and living expenses.
Group rate — minimum 2 applicants per organization.
Cohort size limited to 25 leaders.
If you feel called to RESET, reach out — or ask someone who knows your work to put your name forward.
