- CAA Pro-Sports Agent

“Denise has helped me see my past in a way that no one else has, and now I am moving toward my professional soccer career in a way that encourages me. Most of, if not all, of any future success I have will be attributable to Denise."

- JB., Emerging Pro Athlete

"Denise has an unusual ability to help a decision maker understand the real, underlying drivers for the decisions they make. Her approach is highly unique and very powerful."

“We brought in Denise Shull and The ReThink Group to expand our performance program and to obtain the benefits of a top-flight mental game for all our pit crews.

"Denise is the Yoda of the performance coaching world - spend time in deep interaction with her and the crevices are no longer frightening, the daunting peaks gradually become scalable and a sense of enlightenment appears. I have found Denise's approach to self-regulation and sharpened awareness to be a game-changer. There is no substitute for Denise's coaching in terms of razor-sharp uniqueness and insightfulness."

"Denise has been instrumental in helping me to reframe my anger. Through working with her I have learned how to harness the energy contained in feeling angry. I can identify the root of the emotion in a way that allows me to face it and decide whether or not it is productive to act on it. In a job where I am in a high-pressured leadership position, this tool has become invaluable. I have more positive energy to put toward good decision making and have improved my clarity and confidence."
