Executive Reset Intensive™

The Executive Reset Intensive is designed for senior leaders — typically VP-level and above — who are performing well by conventional measures but sense that something has shifted. The strategies that built their career still function, but the meaning behind them has thinned. Decisions feel heavier. Authority feels less legible. The story that once made everything cohere no longer quite fits.

If that description resonates, the ERI was built for you. It is not therapy, not a wellness retreat, and not a communication skills workshop. It is a structured, three-session diagnostic and developmental intervention that integrates personality assessment (HOGAN), equine-assisted work at The Artha Ranch, and somatic practice to surface the dispositional patterns you've been managing - often brilliantly - and give you the tools to manage them deliberately rather than reflexively.

The ERI is not appropriate for individuals currently experiencing significant psychological distress. A brief screening during the strategy call prior to enrollment ensures appropriate fit.

No. The four parts of the ERI are designed as an integrated sequence, not a menu.

The HOGAN assessment provides the dispositional data that makes the equine session diagnostic rather than experiential. The equine session produces the somatic evidence that gives the integration session its material. The somatic experience provides practical, everyday tools, that complete the narrative part.
Remove any element and what remains is incomplete, an assessment without a body, a body without a framework, or an experience without a roadmap. The value is in the architecture.

No specific preparation is required beyond completing the intake questionnaire and HOGAN assessment before your first session.

For the ranch day, practical details matter. The herd session takes place in the horse pasture, the coaching session in a round pen within a covered arena, and the somatic practice indoors. Dress for the weather — rain boots if wet, a hat in summer. Comfortable western or activewear is recommended. Closed, sturdy footwear — cowboy boots or hiking boots — is mandatory. No tennis shoes, and absolutely no open-toed shoes. The horses don't care about your outfit, but they weigh 1,100 pounds and your feet will thank you. For the somatic session, bring loose clothing or yoga gear.

FM Equine Coaching™ is an "on the ground" experience and requires no prior riding / horse handling expertise.

The sessions usually take place in a 50'-60' round pen, but can vary depending on the modality of the session.

Client safety is paramount. I use only horses who have been trained for this type of activity and that are both gentle and friendly.

Prior to the first session I will provide you with a comprehensive equine safety tutorial. I will be always at your side - either in or just outside the round pen - for the whole duration of the session.

Absolutely not. The Somatic session is: 

• Not an intense asana session.
• Not a fitness class.
• Not a flexibility test.
• Not a therapy or trauma treatment.
• Not inherently religious; will include traditional elements of classical Hatha Yoga.

What’s expected of participants

• Work with sensation, not strain: prioritize comfort, steady breathing, and ease over intensity.
• Stay curious and non-judgmental: notice patterns without forcing change.

Practical notes

• Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement and relaxed breathing.
