Testimonials

Think NewCo really opened my eyes to see the possibilities and opportunities, as I was drowning in a sea of constant connection to technology. The tools and techniques that Think NewCo taught me will have immediate impact on my entire organization and more importantly my family and wellbeing.
Jeff H.YPO Member
As someone who constantly presses for better, faster and more of what is expected of myself and everything around me, I defer smelling the roses to a later date. After my session with ThinkNewCo, I think differently. I understand the importance to give my brain a rest, recharge and makes me fresh for the next conquest.
Anthony P.YPO Member
The Think NewCo program is like teflon for stress.
YPO Member and CEOInsurance Professional
It’s all jelling together – and I now use my dog walks as a time of reflection. I analyze my day and have new ideas about how I want the business to be. Everything is “clicking” better, personally and professionally. I am working on my personal leadership vision and thinking about how my values manifest in the workplace. I want to send more of my team through the program.

Our meetings are now more effective and productive. We have cut the time spent in half and doubled the output.
Vistage Member and Key EmployeeRecruiting Professional
Specifically, NewCo helped me realize that I have a choice about being constantly pinged, and allowed me to take back control of the flow of communication. It was a sustained opportunity to reflect on what you want to accomplish and how.

Bettina was terrific in shepherding our group and holding the attention of nine different intense personalities. Her work will enhance our focus and concentration to enable all of us to be more productive individually and as a group.
Tom R.YPO Member
I am holding distraction-free 1:1s… with ZERO exceptions! This has made my meetings much more efficient and effective and I can see the difference in how people are interacting during our time. This has added a ton of value and clarity to what had previously been an exercise in going through the motions.
