June hits differently. 

The Q1 buzz is long gone, Q4 still feels forever away, and for many teams, motivation starts dragging. If you’re feeling that dip in energy, you’re not alone—and neither is your team. 

Now is the perfect time for a mid-year reset. 

Not a performance review. Not a strategy overhaul. A reset ritual, something intentional, energizing, and team-driven. 

Here’s how we partnered with a client to get them out of a slump.  

The Situation:
A regional director at a fast-growing healthcare company started noticing some red flags by early summer: 

• Morale was low 
• Key performance metrics were slipping 
• People weren’t showing up, literally and figuratively 

The team of 18 had just come through a tough Q1 filled with system changes and staffing gaps. Everyone was running on fumes. 

The Goal:
Get the team re-engaged, aligned, and moving again without adding more pressure. 

The Reset Ritual They Used: 

They carved out a half-day off site session that included five simple elements: 

1. The “Wins Wall” – Team members shared recent successes, big or small 
2. “Let It Go” Session – A guided moment to air out frustrations (and leave them behind) 
3. 90-Day Sprint Mapping – A collaborative way to refocus on short-term priorities 
4. Peer Shout-Outs – A surprise round of recognition from teammates 
5. Real Talk – Honest conversation about what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next 

The Result?
Two weeks later: 

• Engagement was back up 
• KPIs were back on track 
• Collaboration and morale saw a serious boost 

All because they hit pause and gave the team space to reset and reconnect. 

Want to try it with your team? Start here: 

1. Stop / Start / Continue – A quick, honest roundtable 
2. Create a Wins Wall – Use sticky notes or a shared doc 
3. Hold a Let-It-Go Moment – Let folks release the mental clutter 
4. Map a 90-Day Sprint – Short-term goals = fast wins 
5. End with a Recognition Round – Give the floor to your people 

Bottom Line:
You don’t need a retreat budget or a huge event to shift your team’s energy. Sometimes, all it takes is carving out time, being real, and making space for people to feel seen and heard so they can refocus. 

Mid-year isn’t just a checkpoint; it’s a leadership opportunity. Take it!
