The Wisdom Reset:
Recalibrating how we work, lead, and connect in a world that won’t slow down.
In a culture addicted to speed, The Wisdom Reset invites us to pause — not as a break from work, but as a powerful recalibration. At its core is Power-Pausing™, a practice that shifts us from urgency to clarity, from reactivity to intentional action. This is how we access our highest human capacity for problem-solving, collaboration, and trust.
Jeanette Bronée works with leaders and organizations to transform workplaces into cultures where clarity fuels better decisions, care strengthens connection, and trust drives performance — creating the conditions for wisdom to thrive in an AI-driven world.
We live in a world moving too fast to notice we’ve lost our way. Instead of clinging to outdated systems in a culture that trains us to think fast, respond faster, and stay constantly alert, we must reshape the future of work by unlocking our human advantage and asking: What if peak performance is no longer about speed — but about wisdom?
Jeanette Bronée is a leadership strategist and global keynote speaker who partners with teams and organizations in high-pressure environments to shift them from reactivity to rhythm. She is the creator of Power-Pausing™, a neuroscience-based method that enhances focus, decision-making, and sustainable performance — without slowing productivity.
Born in Denmark and forged in New York, she brings a distinctive blend of Scandinavian wisdom and Manhattan pragmatism to reimagining the future of work. At the heart of her work is a radical proposition: care — not fear — unlocks human potential. Through her signature frameworks — including The Self-Care Mindset®, Power-Pausing™, and the C.A.R.E. Framework — she equips organizations to lead through complexity with clarity, presence, and trust.
Grounded in over two decades of research and practice in neuroscience, emotional intelligence, systems thinking, and behavior change, Jeanette helps organizations build the internal infrastructure for people and performance to thrive — together.
Her mission is simple but urgent: In the age of AI and acceleration, we don’t need to move faster — we need to lead wiser.

I partner with forward-thinking leaders and event planners to design experiences that go beyond “motivational.” My keynotes and programs are transformational moments where people don’t just learn what needs to change, they feel inspired and equipped to be the change.
Through Power-Pausing™ and The Self-Care Mindset®, we don’t wait for stress to break us down—we learn to listen with intention, lead better, and build cultures of care that sustain performance and purpose. These aren't just tools. They’re a new language for work.

Additional possibilities for working together:
WORKPLACE PERFORMANCE AND CULTURE CONSULTING
Changing the way we think, engage, and grow together.
Broken culture leads to broken people. Igniting our team culture and showing up to work as our best, most emboldened selves means shifting from working on the edge of burnout and survival mode to working in a way that prioritizes peak performance and a purpose-driven, people-centered culture.
Let’s build a framework and strategy for your company that supports your people in working together better.
Care is the new currency. We work better when we learn to pause and access the best of our human skills. When care is at the core of our work, we become more engaged with our customers and each other.
LEADERSHIP TRAINING & EXECUTIVE COACHING
Care starts at the top. People-centric companies need care-driven leadership.
There is a need for rethinking performance to unlock the human potential to work better together, which means focusing on well-being and self-leadership as the foundation for achieving optimal performance.
When we narrow our focus on the end goal rather than the process of achieving our goals, we become human doings, running on automatic and burnout mode.
On the contrary, stepping into our full potential is motivating, allowing us to be driven by our humanity, innovation, creativity, and empathy.
A healthy company needs healthy leaders because self-leadership is how we manage ourselves and our teams to connect and grow stronger together.

why it matters:
Reclaiming Our Human Advantage—Because the Future Demands More Than Just Speed
In today’s fast-paced, AI-accelerated world, the pressure to perform is relentless. But the truth is, no amount of technology can replace the very thing organizations need most right now: our human capacity to pause, reflect, connect, and lead with intention.
The Challenge
The old playbook of pushing harder and faster no longer works. Burnout is rising. Engagement is falling. And traditional approaches to performance are breaking under the weight of complexity and uncertainty.
The Opportunity
This is our moment to recalibrate. To stop surviving the workday and start reshaping how we work—together. By activating our human advantage, we don't just adapt to change; we become agents of it.
When we practice conscious leadership, engage in intentional connection, and embed care into our culture, we create environments where people—and performance—thrive.
The Impact
When we shift from pressure to possibility through Power-Pausing™ and a Culture of Care®, we unlock:
Agile, resilient teams that grow through disruption
Stronger human connections that fuel innovation and trust
Sustainable high performance built on presence, not pressure
Cultures where well-being and results are not competing priorities—but aligned outcomes
This isn’t a soft conversation. It’s the strategic shift the future of work requires.
The strength of our culture comes from the strength of our relationships—starting with the one we have with ourselves.
A Culture of Care® doesn’t start someday.
It starts now.
