For Rebecca Mott, leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about creating spaces where others can grow, adapt, and thrive. As the Founder of ReThought LLC, Rebecca brings together her expertise in emerging technologies, AI, leadership development, and continuous improvement to help leaders and organizations reimagine what’s possible.

With more than 30 years in the utility industry, Rebecca knows firsthand how often talented technical professionals are promoted into leadership without the tools or training they need. Her mission with ReThought is to change that—to equip emerging leaders with the confidence, clarity, and skills to lead well in a rapidly evolving world.

From Chemist to Change-Maker

Rebecca’s career journey began in the sciences, where she worked as a chemist before moving into management and eventually innovation leadership. Along the way, she realized her true passion wasn’t just solving problems—it was helping people become the leaders who could solve them.

That realization led to the creation of ReThought LLC, a firm that blends science, strategy, and human connection. By combining her deep technical background with expertise in facilitation, change management, and the practical applications of AI, Rebecca empowers leaders and teams to unlock new levels of performance and collaboration.

The Challenges and Rewards of Leadership

Running a business has its challenges, and for Rebecca, the biggest one is the constant grind of adapting. Markets shift. Technology disrupts. Chaos happens. But instead of resisting change, Rebecca leans into it—using each challenge as an opportunity to build resilience and refine her impact.

And the reward? Watching people grow. Whether it’s a team member gaining confidence, a leader navigating a tough transition, or an organization transforming how they work together—those are the moments that fuel her mission.

A Message for Women Leaders

Rebecca’s advice to other women is both practical and powerful:

“Own your voice, and don’t wait for permission to lead. Resilience isn’t about bracing yourself until the storm passes—it’s about adapting in the middle of it and moving forward with clarity and confidence.”

She encourages women to invest in themselves, embrace emerging technologies, and focus on creating environments where collaboration and growth thrive.

Looking Ahead

Rebecca’s vision for the future is bold. She’s committed to scaling ReThought to reach thousands of emerging leaders through digital training, community, and her upcoming book, The Meeting Room. Her work is centered on transforming the way organizations meet and lead—making leadership more human, innovative, and effective.

At the heart of it all, Rebecca’s message is clear: we are better together.
