What Is Rise Up and Reset℠?
Rise Up and Reset℠ is a six-module leadership mini-course and self-paced workbook created by Dr. Kim Richardson, built around her RISE UP framework for resetting a disengaged, exhausted, or drifting team.
This course is not a blame exercise and it is not a pep talk. It asks leaders to look in two directions at once: inward, at their own leadership patterns, and outward, at what their team actually needs. Every module pairs honest self-assessment with a real tool leaders bring straight back to their team.
Designed for leaders who run teams, supervise teams, or are part of teams, this mini-course delivers a focused, six-step path to reset culture with intention instead of pressure.
Six modules. Six RISE UP steps. One intentional reset.
This six-module mini-course walks leaders through the RISE UP framework, one step per module:
MODULE R
Reflect Honestly — the reset starts with you, not the team
MODULE I
Invest in Trust — rebuild the psychological safety your team needs to engage fully
MODULE S
Set the Vision — recenter the why and give your team a shared destination
MODULE E
Establish the Flow — create the rhythm your team needs to stay focused, not frantic
MODULE U
Uplift the Team — reignite possibility by stretching and believing in your people
MODULE P
Produce Results — make progress visible and connect it back to purpose
Each module includes a focused leadership lesson, a self-assessment, paired "look inward / look outward" reflection prompts, a shift table moving leaders from stuck patterns to reset behaviors, a concrete leadership move for the week, and a tool built to use directly with the team. The course closes with a personalized Leadership Reset Profile and action plan.
Why This Mini-Course Works
A reset that skips reflection is just rearranging furniture. This course refuses to let leaders jump straight to fixing the team without first looking honestly at their own contribution to where things stand.
You will leave with tools you can put in front of your team immediately, including:
Leadership Reset Profile
A personalized view across all six RISE UP steps
Trust Check-Ins
Team-facing conversation openers to rebuild psychological safety
Flow-Mapping Tool
A way to pace the weeks ahead without burning your team out
Weekly Reset Tracker
A tool to sustain the work after the course ends

Where you start. Where you finish.
Before you may:
- Assume the team is the problem
- Ask "how's it going" and accept the surface-level answer
- Move straight to solutions before naming what's actually true
- Keep metrics and progress private or complicated
- Rush past wins on the way to the next challenge
After you will:
- Lead the reset by going first and naming your own patterns honestly
- Build trust through visible, consistent follow-through
- Give your team a clear, co-created vision to rally around
- Set a sustainable pace and protect it
- Make progress visible, celebrate it, and connect it to the mission
