TAP into the X-Factor in Professional Traders and Athletes
ReThink specializes in cultivating the X factor. Leveraging the latest neuroscience and psychological research into how thought, feelings and behavior
actually interact, we train our clients in using advanced emotional competencies to perform better under market and competitive pressures.
Historically focused on traders and portfolio managers, ReThink’s out-of-the-box approach has improved the performance of bank and proprietary traders, hedge fund managers and even independents. Despite the widespread notion that emotions don’t belong in risk decisions, ReThink consistently receives rave reviews for solving the seemingly unsolvable. Our founder’s book, Market Mind Games, has been called “a veritable Rosetta Stone of trading psychology”, “a game changer”and “ahead of its time”.
Leveraging an uncommon set of assessment, coaching and training services, ReThink picks up where other mental skills programs fall short. We untangle the roots of self-doubt and fear of the unknown. Clients find themselves more resilient and more confident in the midst of volatility and performances pressures.
Denise Shull heads the risk and trading psychology practice. Bill Long joined in 2012. He also coaches hedge fund mangers while leading our X-factor talent assessment offering. In 2016, ReThink is also working with Bob Rose, a former EVP at CBS Sports, to port our unconventional approach to professional athletes.

Our founder Denise Shull was finishing her Master’s Degree in what was then called biopsychology at The University of Chicago when instead of continuing with a PhD, she opted to become one of the first proprietary electronic equity traders. Naturally, she devoured every trading psychology book she could find. In 2003, that all changed when she rewrote her Master’s thesis and discovered that science had shown all decisions require emotion – a finding in direct contrast to the enduring error of Wall St.’s “control your emotions” mantra.
