When Teams Hit a Wall – How to Reset, Refocus, and Move Forward
You know the moment.
The team is tired. The energy is scattered. Maybe something didn’t go to plan—a missed
goal, a failed launch, a hard conversation.
It’s not a crisis, exactly. But something’s off.
And in that moment, pushing harder isn’t the answer. What’s needed is a pause – to take
stock, breathe together, and choose how to move forward.
That’s exactly what teams do in our “Resetting and Going Again” BentoBox – a guided
session designed to help groups regroup, reflect, and re-energize.
It doesn’t feel like a workshop. It feels like a powerful conversation – honest, human, and
gently powerful.
Teams gather not to fix everything, but to sit with where they are. Teams explore the moment
they are in – logically and emotionally. Temas explore with curiosity what made things
difficult and where they want to go next.
There is structure, yes – but also space. Space to tell the truth. Space to listen. Space to shift.
How it works
Over a few hours, teams move through three meaningful stages:
Book 1 – The Moment You’re In
You named it. Not just the problem, but the feeling. Team members each reflected on what
made this moment hard – and what they hoped to achieve on the other side.
Book 2 – A Moment to Learn
Here’s where things get real. Teams sort through the factors that led them to the difficulty –
was it a mistake? A risk? A bold attempt? Teams learn to let go of what they couldn’t control,
and to pull lessons from what they could.
Book 3 – Taking the First Step Forward
This is the turning point. Teams turn reflections into intentions. Each person commits to
something real. Teams close by signing our shared promises – tangible reminders of our reset.
What You’ll Take Away
It isn’t about performance. It is about presence.
You’ll leave with:
A clearer understanding of what led to the difficult moment.
Shared learnings from the experience.
Five real, actionable commitments teams choose together.
A fresh sense of energy—and direction.
Why This Matters
Every team hits moments like this. The mistake is thinking they’re supposed to push through
them alone or pretend they don’t matter.
This experience reminds teams that some of the most powerful forward motion begins in a
pause – with honesty, reflection, and renewed commitment.
If your team could use a reset, I highly recommend this kind of space. It’s not just about
recharging – it’s about remembering why you started in the first place.
