Testimonials

"In the past 20 years the greatest differentiator among corporations between wild success and less success has been in the strategic use of digital technology. In the next 20 years the greatest differentiator will be the strategic enhancement of the human factor and One Thought Insitute is at the absolute forefront of unlocking this factor."
–D. Patterson, CEO, Northwater Capital

"The team at One Thought Insitute was incredibly helpful to our business. They helped our employees understand and experience the "inside-out" approach to life and their work. With their help, we dropped the idea that we are at the mercy of external conditions and put ourselves fully in control of our circumstances and our future. Our workforce became more responsible, accountable, resilient and exhibited higher levels of well being and passion for their work. But this wasn't just about feeling good. It was about results. Virtually every business metric we track improved as we deepened our understanding—including Orders, Sales, Profit and every efficiency and quality measure worth mentioning. Most importantly, our customer satisfaction survey scores skyrocketed. I can recommend One Thought and their approach to life and business unconditionally.”
–D. Donovan, Aerospace & Defense Executive

"I initially discovered One Thought Insitute’s concepts for enhanced performance through State of Mind awareness at a senior leadership professional development seminar. Like many, I was initially skeptical that by simply learning to be aware of, and control my state of mind, that I could improve the quality of my thinking and free myself to consider truly transformational solutions to complex, strategic problems. Despite my skepticism, I committed to following the prescribed approach—and utilize the approach in considering my current strategic leadership issues. My personal experience has been profound, leading to several new strategic lines of operation, consolidation and elimination of other lines of operation and the rapid advance of four strategic initiatives in my organization—which had been "stuck" in the "too hard" pile for years. As a result, I invited One Thought to provide training to my direct report senior leaders—and have seen a similar transformation in the quality of their thinking and problem solving. In my 25 years of leadership and management experience and countless training and professional development sessions, One Thought’s seminar on State of Mind offers the fastest route to a high-performing leadership team."

“My continued thanks to… the... team that helped our group see things as possible that once were not.”
–Program Manager, Multinational Corporation

“Many, many thanks for a great week. It is not often that I leave a training experience feeling that it somehow changed me fundamentally, but that is exactly what this did. Again, thanks to you and your team, I look forward to more!” –Manager, Multi-National Corporation

“This is the best class I have ever taken!!!!“ –Finance Manager, Multinational Corporation

“The most valuable part of this training was learning the ability to step back out of stressful situations to see the big picture and quickly get back to a productive state. My thoughts based on the urgent, but not important, needs of others often (or more often than I would like) derails my productivity and makes me feel bad about myself. The feeling stems from feeling subject to my environment rather than master of it. This course will help me stay on task by seeing the big picture.”
–Recruiter, Aerospace Company

"I have personally used Aaron Turner, of One Thought Insitute, for coaching both myself and quite a number of my senior staff. Universally we have found his approach exceptionally helpful. We are in an industry where smarts and aggression seem to be widely admired traits. But when these are not mixed with both perspective and wisdom the result can be a dysfunctional organization. Aaron helps us remember that we have the internal resources to maintain perspective in the most outwardly challenging situation."
–CEO, Intellectual Property Firm

“Aaron Turner of One Thought has had the terrific ability to interact with our group and help us understand the power that comes with clarity of mind. This has had a profound impact on my sales force’s ability to quickly establish rapport, have a truly leveraged conversation and drive greater sales revenue from our client base. Their involvement has also led to a greater sense of well-being for my entire staff both inside and outside of the work environment. I would strongly encourage anyone
looking to improve their organization’s effectiveness to consult with Aaron Turner. To not consider his significant insights is simply leaving money on the table!”
–K. Madrzykowski, General Manager, Adams Outdoor Advertising

"It is such a hard thing to explain to anyone but the 4 day course with Mara, of One Thought Insitute, was just fantastic. It is like entering a parallel universe! An inspiring, unique and eye-opening experience which is life-changing. … These four days set the foundation for a potentially very different way of living and I believe the understanding continues and deepens over a lifetime all by itself.”
–D. Binun, Counselor

“Empowering, liberating, and renewing…this is how I would describe what the Principles have become to me…. Now almost three months out of having been introduced to the Principles, I can honestly say that all of my relationships with my family members, friends, co-workers, and physical therapy patients are much richer… It was life-changing.“
–N. Tufano, Physical Therapist
