FreeRise Ventures exists to help organizations build cultures where performance is sustainable, leadership is aligned, and people are not quietly burning out under pressure. We support leaders in designing environments that protect capacity, strengthen trust, and allow excellence to endure.
Most organizations don’t collapse — they slowly erode. Communication becomes guarded. Energy declines. High performers carry more than they should. Leaders feel the pressure but may not have space to address it. FreeRise Ventures helps organizations pause, reflect, and reset — so excellence is sustainable and people are not quietly burning out.
Empowering organizations to restore leadership capacity, strengthen teams, and sustain high performance under pressure.
The Culture Reset™ keynote offers a grounded, practical perspective on burnout, leadership, and sustainable performance.
Interactive Culture Reset™ workshops help teams rebuild clarity, strengthen trust, and share responsibility for healthy performance.
Executive advisory partnerships provide steady, confidential support for leaders navigating change, growth, and workforce pressure.
A structured yet human-centered approach built on three pillars: Cultural Clarity, Leadership Realignment, and Sustainable Capacity Design. Grounded in executive healthcare leadership, change management, nursing, art therapy, and AI-Assisted® Leadership certification, the framework bridges operational accountability with genuine care for the people driving performance.
Harriett Parker brings decades of healthcare leadership and clinical insight to her work. Her multidisciplinary background ensures the Culture Reset™ Framework is rooted in operational reality and behavioral insight.
