What is a
Resilient Reset?
High-stakes decisions demand high-performance recovery. Resilient Reset™ is a neuroscience-backed micro-practice that trains your nervous system to recover faster and perform sharper under pressure.
The crisis that lands in your lap. The make-or-break call. The critical meeting where every word counts. These moments demand more than stress management. They demand immediate access to your best performance.
Resilient Resets build your muscle memory to restore calm, clarity and strategic thinking in the heat of the moment, when your resilient response shapes the outcome. Learn to reset fast, stay strategic and hardwire composure as your leadership advantage.
Meet Kimberly Arnold
Kimberly S. Arnold is the CEO of Somatic Leadership where she helps high-pressure leaders turn stress into strength and composure into their leadership advantage.
​
With 30+ years leading at PwC, Salesforce, and Blue Shield of California, Kimberly knows the cost of high-stakes leadership firsthand. In 2018, despite 10 years of somatic training, she hit her edge: a perfect storm of a demanding role, family caregiving, grief, and menopause landed her on medical leave. Her wake-up call was that her practices were impossible to sustain when everyone around her was operating in reactivity.
​
Now a certified somatic teacher with training in Aikido, Tai Ji, Qigong, Feldenkrais, and Continuum, Kimberly teaches the practices she wished she'd had: 60-second resets that work in the middle of the chaos, not after it passes. Practices designed for leaders and teams who don't have time for lengthy recovery rituals but need immediate access to their best thinking.
​
The results speak for themselves: 98% of participants gain value. 94% are still using the practices two months later. Individual clients shift their high-pressure response within two weeks with less than 5 minutes daily practice.
​
Known for her calm conviction and systems-level insight, Kimberly helps leaders rise not through pushing harder, but through sustainable presence. A micro investment for macro return.
Somatic Leadership Programs
High-pressure teams don't need another weekly stress management program. They need practical tools that work in real-time: the tense client call, the contentious meeting, the crisis that can't wait.
​
Resilient Resets teach leaders to interrupt their stress reaction in the heat of the moment and access their best strategic thinking under pressure. Learn these techniques in 60-90 minutes. Practice them in under 5 minutes daily. Rewire your autonomic nervous system response for lasting impact.
​
The result: faster decisions, stronger collaboration, and sustainable performance that improves overall wellbeing.
