Trying to scale your agency but your team is at capacity?
Here’s the truth, your team has more capacity than they think.
What’s draining it isn’t lack of time or effort, it’s chronic stress and burnout.
Stress quietly erodes focus, decision-making, and motivation. Research shows it can cut effective capacity by 30–40% long before someone actually quits.
The hidden costs of burnout:
Burnout can drain up to a third of your team’s output
Presenteeism (working while exhausted) leads to 20–30% lower productivity
Absenteeism linked to stress accounts for over 50% of all lost workdays
After my second burnout, I couldn’t work properly for three months. For my company, that meant thousands of dollars lost. Now imagine that impact multiplied across a team of 30.
The good news? Capacity can be reclaimed.
When teams learn to regulate stress in real time, they think clearer, make fewer mistakes, and bring more energy to the work that matters.
That’s what RESET Teams delivers, a neuroscience-based resilience program that helps growing agencies unlock hidden capacity, protect performance, and scale without burning out their people.
Who Is This Call For?
This call is designed for leaders and HR professionals in growing agencies who want understanding on how stress is impacting their team and what to do about it.
It’s for you if you are:
Agency Owners (30+ team members)
You’ve built a strong business, but you’re noticing the hidden costs of stress. Mistakes are creeping in, clients frustrated by small errors and miscommunication, or talented people burning out and leaving. You want to protect performance and your people.
HR / Managers (teams up to ~200)
You’re tasked with keeping a remote or hybrid team engaged, but stress is showing up as poor communication, more sick days, and presenteeism. You know one-off mindfulness apps or pulse surveys aren’t cutting it—you want something science-backed and sustainable.
Remote-First Teams (teams up to ~200)
Your team already lives on Zoom. You’ve seen how easy it is to spiral when everything happens behind a screen. You want tools that actually fit a digital-first environment.

What to Expect on the Call
This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a 30-minute clarity session to see if RESET Teams is the right fit for you.
Here’s how we’ll use the time:
1️⃣ Your Current Reality
You’ll share what’s happening in your team right now. Where stress, reactivity, or burnout is showing up, and ways you are trying to solve it.
2️⃣ Root Cause Insights
I’ll help you identify where the real challenge is. Most teams think it’s workload and performance pressures alone when it’s often internal factors.
3️⃣ Tailored Recommendations
I’ll outline how RESET Teams could support your goals. You’ll walk away with a clearer picture of what would help your team, whether we work together or not.
4️⃣ Next Steps (Optional)
If it feels like a fit, we’ll discuss program formats, investment, and timing. If not, you’ll still leave with practical insights you can use right away.
Stress is baked into fast-paced industries like marketing and advertising. Deadlines shift, clients change their minds, and the work never really slows down. Most teams try to push through, until performance drops, mistakes multiply, and talented people burn out.
The problem isn’t stress itself. Stress is energy. The problem is untrained stress when teams don’t know how to regulate, recharge, or reset.
That’s where resilience training comes in.
Resilience training helps your team:
Stay clear-headed under pressure instead of spiralling into reactivity.
Reduce costly mistakes by keeping focus and decision-making sharp.
Recover faster from setbacks so stress doesn’t turn into burnout.
Communicate more effectively without tension or defensiveness.
Sustain high performance without sacrificing health or wellbeing.
Resilience isn’t about toughing it out. It’s about building the capacity to meet challenges with energy, clarity, and confidence.
When your team has the tools to regulate stress in the moment, they stop white-knuckling it through the week and start leading with steadiness and resilience.
According to Deloitte, companies with effective wellness programs see an ROI of up to $4 for every dollar spent, thanks to improvements in engagement, reduced turnover, and higher productivity.

Hi, I’m Rita:
I’m a media buyer myself. I’ve worked in high-pressure agency environments managing £50k/day ad budgets and leading international remote teams where performance was measured by the hour. I know the pressure of being judged by ROI, the endless client demands, and the toll of an always-on culture.
And here’s what I discovered - you can’t truly be a productive team member or a sustainable leader, if you don’t know how to handle stress. In media buying, stress isn’t occasional. It’s daily. It shows up in three ways:
Performance pressure – every decision impacts revenue in real time.
Client demands – last-minute changes, constant scrutiny.
Always-on culture – notifications, late nights, no real off switch.
I’ve lived it. I’ve burned out. Not once. And I’ve seen brilliant people around me do the same.
That’s why I went deeper. Over the last five years I’ve trained in polyvagal theory, somatic practices, and trauma-informed coaching, uncovering the neuroscience of stress and resilience.
I developed the RESET Teams program to bring that science back to the industry I know best - media buyers, marketers, and ambitious agency teams. Because when you understand your nervous system, you can stay calm under pressure, think clearly, and perform at your best without burning out.
Rita Ainsworth
Trauma-Informed Human Potential Coach
”I recently attended the first session of Rita’s stress management training, and it was eye-opening. She combines science-backed insights with practical tools in a way that’s easy to apply. One key takeaway for me was realizing that my stress wasn’t just about work. It was my nervous system reacting as if it were under constant threat. That shift in understanding was powerful.
Rita brings clarity and relevance to a topic that’s often overlooked in fast-paced environments. Her approach helps participants make real, meaningful connections between stress and everyday habits. I’m looking forward to the rest of the training, and I’d recommend her to any team looking to better understand and manage stress in a practical, sustainable way.”
- Dilyana D. Manager of Advertising Smart Marketer Agency
“For a media buyer, stress is baked into the job. I’ve always known I could operate at a high level when things got intense… but I didn’t fully understand the mechanics of that - or the tipping point when it stops being helpful and starts to hurt.
This training helped me reframe how I think about stress. Instead of seeing it as something to avoid or fear, I now see it as something I can work with. I learned how to recognise when I’m in that optimal zone, when I’m slipping out of it, and how to avoid the crash.
Turns out stress isn’t the enemy - it’s part of the system!”
- Marianne W, Senior Media Buyer Smart Marketer Agency
