A four-week reset for founders under pressure, who want to remain grounded and lead well.
Founders Reset is a private, four-week reset for founders under pressure who are feeling overwhelmed and reactive. This programme is designed to permanently remove internal interference – restoring calm, clarity, and trust in your own judgement.
This is not about changing who you are. And it’s not about a short-term, feel-good, contact high.
It’s about permanently restoring internal stability – so you can lead with calm, clarity, and trust in your own judgement. Including when it matters most.
When you’re still delivering – but no longer stable in yourself
You’re functioning, reliable, people trust you. But you know it’s costing you.
You know what true, stability feels like. And this isn’t that. Internally, something’s out of integrity.
You might notice:
A constant undercurrent of mental or emotional noise
Decisions taking more effort than they should
A pull toward urgency or control under stress
Poor sleep, low energy, or fading motivation
Giving too much of yourself without seeing the progress you expect
From the outside, everything looks fine. You’re still achieving deadlines, meeting targets, supporting the team, managing stakeholders.
But you no longer feel settled.
You’ve lost connection to the big picture and purpose, and you’re stuck in the weeds, managing.
You logically know what to do. But nothing you’ve tried has created a lasting shift.
Importantly, you don’t need to talk about it.
You don’t have time for months of exploration.
You simply need your system to stabilise again.
Why this happens – especially to Founders who care
Founders who value people, relationships, and long-term impact often reach this point first.
You’re holding complexity. Weighing consequences. You want to do a good job, lead well, and have a positive impact, all while bigger systems draw you into control and forcing. Now something internal is destabilising you.
Under sustained pressure, unresolved internal interference accumulates and causes problems.
And you’ve discovered:
It doesn’t disappear with rest.
Insight doesn’t touch it.
No practices or habits are working sustainably.
Over time, this interference erodes steadiness, energy, and focus.
You may experience reactivity, overthinking, emotional fatigue, disrupted sleep, or physical symptoms – even while everything appears to be going well on the surface.
“Small things are becoming big things.”
“My patience is thin.”
“I feel foggy. Decisions are hard.”
“I know what to do, but I can’t move fast enough.”
These are signs of internal interference blocking your flow.
What the Founders Reset actually does
This work removes the internal interference that disrupts your innate calm, clarity, and reliable judgment.
We don’t analyse your life.
We don’t revisit the past.
We don’t use coping strategies, practices, or habits.
We work directly – removing the source of the problem – using a simple, practical process. For fast results.
When the interference is gone:
Decisions feel simpler
Pressure no longer drives reactive behaviour
Emotional triggers lose their grip
You feel settled inside yourself again
Founders often describe the result as a restored sense of self-trust – yes confidence, but more than that – trust in their own judgment again. Groundedness.
Plus there’s nothing to manage.
Nothing to maintain.
What is removed does not return.
This is not therapy or coaching
If you’re looking for:
Someone to talk to
Emotional processing
Mindset work
Regulation techniques, practices, or habits
Leadership training
This will not be the right fit.
Founders Reset is precise, contained work for leaders who want the source of the issue removed – not explored.
Outcomes founders typically experience
Clients consistently report:
Calmer, clearer decision-making
Restored motivation and drive
A settled internal state – including in situations that used to trigger them
Reduced reactivity without suppression or management
Restored trust in their own timing and judgement
Their leadership feeling simpler and more grounded
The key thing is that they didn’t learn to cope. The interference is simply no longer there.
The four-week structure
Week 1 –Orientation & Clarity (30 minutes)
Clarify the current reality – where you are now, and where you want to be.
Week 2 – Reset Session (2 hours)
The core work happens here. No homework. No processing. The reset work is done in-session.
Week 3 – Refinement Session (1 hour)
Any remaining interference is removed, and the steadiness you wanted is confirmed.
Week 4 – Recognition & Direction (30 minutes)
Recognise what has stabilised and clarify your next steps.
Private messaging support between sessions is included.
Any additional time required is included. The outcome agreed in Week 1 is delivered. If not, 100% money back guarantee.
Some clients find this Founders Reset is all they need. Others recognise the value and return for more.
After the Founders Reset
Some founders return to work and life with renewed energy and focus. The difference is that now they’re being the excellent founder they always knew themselves to be deep down. For them the Reset is all they needed.
Others want to do more. Either because they have more going on than just the Reset can address. Or because they recognise the value of having a private partner over a longer period of time. Compounding their results.
For these founders, the 5-month Optimise journey is available. Either built-in straight away or added on later.
Committed to compounding results: Founders Reset + Optimise = 6 months. Preferential rates for going all-in.
Test first, do more later: Founders Reset first = 1 month. Optimise later = 5 months.
We’ll discuss and agree what’s right for you.
What other leaders say…
“I have known Helen through a progression from the Inside-Out understanding of the Three Principles, to her co-authored book “The Complete Book of Awakening” and now to the Mace Energy Method. What had changed for her through the latter had really caught my attention.
I was looking for a bit more “aliveness” and clarity of mind. I’d been feeling frustrated about a community of leaders I’m responsible for, and frustrated and disheartened with the lack of interest from others in what I was creating.
After a very engaging and enjoyable Mace Energy Method process I feel so good about all of that, and I now also have so much more inner peace and a perception of wellbeing such that I am smiling all the time with no more overthinking.
Helen tells me the feeling is the “real” me shining through.
Well, I’m definitely feeling good. Thank you Helen.”
Business Leader
“Before working with Helen through the Mace Energy Method, I felt like I was being pulled in two completely different directions. I was juggling my corporate role and building Radicality on the side, and it honestly felt like a Jekyll and Hyde situation. I wasn’t unhappy – I was grateful – but I had not found joy in the day-to-day for a very long time. I carried a constant internal weight, an energetic cloak I didn’t even realize was there until it was gone.
What drew me in was how Helen was showing up differently. Her grounded excitement made me curious. And when I realized the Mace Method didn’t require digging up past trauma or years of story, I felt safe to explore it.
Since my Foundation Sessions, everything’s shifted.
I feel light. I feel grounded. I’ve reimagined my role at work after 16 years, applied for over 20 jobs – something I’d been debating endlessly before – and landed an interview within weeks. I even re-joined the gym and now go 2–3 times a week. These things may sound simple, but they were completely stalled before. Now they feel obvious, effortless.
This process didn’t bypass reality – it gave me more capacity to face it. I still care deeply about change in the world, but now I act from a place of presence and playfulness, not pressure or saviourism. I used to think it was all on me. Now, I know it’s not – and that makes me more effective, not less.
It’s been exponential in impact compared to the investment. I’d honestly say it’s worth 10 times what I paid. This isn’t just personal development – it’s catalytic. It gave me back my capacity.”
Business Development Leader and Entrepreneur
“I came into the Mace Energy Method meeting with an open mind as to what effects I would experience. I’d been struggling with upheaval in family life, work, and finances. I felt deflated and wanted to get my motivation back.
I left the meeting feeling mentally cleansed and unexpectedly happier than I have been for many years.
I would definitely recommend it (and already have done) to friends and colleagues who want to rid themselves of negative identities and perceptions stored in their psyche.”

What we call burnout is in fact depleted energy caused by internal interference.
The longer the interference remains, the more likely a person will go into what’s classified as ‘burnout’.
Once the interference is removed, energy returns with increased clarity, decisiveness and grounded-ness.
Any choices clients make to reduce workload or set boundaries are then done from that grounded clarity and simplicity.
These are often the kind of workload changes or boundaries clients logically knew were needed before the Leadership Reset – but the interference prevented them from taking action.
That’s why, the common pattern with the leaders I see, is they arrive saying “I know what to do intellectually, but I can’t do it.”
This Leadership Reset unblocks your flow and gets you taking the action you know is right.
This is a simple, direct process.
We work with what I refer to as Level 1 data — the immediate thoughts, feelings, and behaviours present in a situation. This is the interference.
There is no extrapolation, interpretation, or story-telling about that data. No analysis of meaning. No reframing.
If it helps, think of it like a management report. Before conclusions are drawn, there are just the raw numbers on the page.
In this work, we stay with the equivalent of those raw numbers.
From there, we rely on the natural capacities of being human — your internal operating system — to remove the interference directly.
My role is to hold the structure, understand how that operating system functions, and facilitate the process with precision.
Your role is simply to follow my lead in the session.
That’s all that’s required.
Most clients experience noticeable shifts from the first session.
This foundational programme as a whole is designed to resolve your key one or two issues, completely. Within weeks, not months.
Removal of each ‘data package’ of interference takes a matter of a few minutes…sometimes just seconds.
You don’t even tell me the details of what you’re working on because it’s not required for the process.
If at any point you have any concerns, we haven’t been able to solve them, and/or you don’t want to solve them with me, contact The Causism Institute.
No. All the work happens in-session. There’s no homework, journaling, or techniques to apply. All you’ll do is notice the changes in your life as they naturally happen.
What you do need is:
1. Be somewhere private, where you won’t be disturbed or distracted.
2. Know what you want to change.
3. Come with a readiness to be led by me through the process.
Yes. Once each ‘data package’ of interference is cleared, it doesn’t come back. We’re not managing symptoms; we’re removing the cause.
Subsequent interference might surface after this programme. Some might even feel very similar – we can always check if it’s the same or different. But each ‘data package’ of interference is unique.
The more you remove, the more restored to your full leadership you feel.
The promise of this programme is that we solve the key issue that you begin with.
If necessary, we add more session time to achieve this.
I am committed to you getting the result you paid for, and – when you and I both play our part in the process – it works.
If you’re unsatisfied with your results, your final outcome-based payment is not due. Full details in the Ts&Cs. Section 3, item 11.
If at any point in the future you think the process hasn’t worked, get back in touch so we can check.
Unfortunately not. We’d all love it to be a self-serve tool, but a key success criterion of the process is your quality, undivided attention. To try and do the process on yourself immediately splits your attention.
“The difficulty of observing your own mental processes is that you cannot see yourself by yourself, for when you look at yourself, you use a bit of yourself to see yourself; so therefore it is not the whole of yourself you see, is it?” Leslie D. Weatherhead, Psychology and Life
This is not for people who want an ongoing therapeutic process, emotional exploration, or tools to cope rather than resolve.
If you want solutions like that, please search for another appropriate professional.
If you want the Mace Energy Method as the solution, but you’re not a leader in business – go to the main Practitioner Directory.
Therapy explores your past and processes emotions over months or years. It focuses on you talking about what’s happened, re-living the past, and aims for a breakthrough with insight, so you feel relief.
Therapy can now also include a variety of other solutions such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and more.
Ultimately you’ll choose what’s right for you.
In contrast to many solutions, the work of this reset removes the exact internal blocks causing your symptoms – directly, efficiently, with no need to relive or analyse your history. It leverages natural laws of being a human which is what makes it reliable.
You get structural change, restoring you to the leader you know yourself to be, in 4 weeks, not years.
Coaching works on mindset, strategy and behaviour, focusing on forward movement.
It assumes you have a clean internal system and you just need to find your clarity and direction. With coaching you get mindset adjustments and reframes. You get insights that help you move forward. You get a partner to walk with you through your big moves.
But you don’t get subconscious resets.
If you’ve had coaching and you’ve noticed you keep circling the same blocks, or being held back by similar limits, that’s when a reset will get you moving forward again.
This work removes the interference that prevents coaching from working.
Once the interference is gone, being coached has an amplified impact because you’re back to your full self again.
You focus on forward-momentum and creation, instead of being pulled backwards, or feeling stuck.
This is why coaches use me as their strategic partner – for themselves, and for their clients.
