Embracing New Beginnings: Our Mykonos Retreat

This week, our team embarked on a journey to the enchanting island of Mykonos, Greece. It’s a moment of celebration, relaxation, and rejuvenation, thoughtfully gifted by our founder, chairman, and newly reinstated CEO, Jose Manuel Anderson. The occasion? A well-deserved vacation for our Employees of the Month and the executive team, a gesture that perfectly encapsulates Jose’s commitment to the well-being and unity of our team.

Reflections from NewSwing Manor’s New Director

For me, Sarah Cohen, this trip carries an extra layer of significance. Recently, during our grand opening event at NewSwing Manor, I was honored to be elected as the Director of HQ Manor. Transitioning from my previous role as head of Casa De NewSwing, this new position brings both excitement and a surge of responsibility. NewSwing Manor is nearly double the size of our former HQ, presenting both a thrilling challenge and a tremendous opportunity for growth and innovation.

As I sit atop our Airbnb villa, overlooking the stunning Psarou Bay, the serene beauty of Mykonos provides a perfect backdrop for reflection. The azure expanse of the Aegean Sea is a sight to behold, and it's here that our team is preparing to dine with some of our esteemed clients. This setting, a blend of tranquility and splendor, feels like the perfect environment to foster the kind of creative and strategic thinking that drives our success.

Jose’s Vision: Expansion and Evolution

Jose's return to the helm as CEO comes at a pivotal moment for NewSwing. His leadership has always been the cornerstone of our growth, and his vision continues to inspire us all. Recently, Jose has begun our expansion into Canada, a new frontier for us, with five new locations set to open this coming month. This ambitious move is part of a broader strategy to attract the largest Canadian golf companies, positioning NewSwing as a dominant player in this new market.

When asked about his plans as CEO, Jose’s response was both strategic and inspiring: "As we have grown significantly in golf, it's time to focus on other departments. I plan to rise in entertainment and security. With our IPS partner, our company will begin to focus on sponsoring large events, and we are joining the Coachella and Stagecoach family."

This foresight into diversifying our portfolio, especially into entertainment and security, is an affirmation of Jose’s visionary leadership. His understanding of NewSwing's core values and his ability to adapt to new opportunities is what sets him apart. It’s clear that under his guidance, we are poised for even greater success.

Mark Anderson: Leading Los Angeles with Passion

In another exciting development, Jose's husband, Mark Anderson, has been appointed as the new Director of our Los Angeles office. Mark's enthusiasm for the role is palpable. Reflecting on his new position, Mark shared, "I love the company. When Jose was Director of LA, I got to see how he ran things and I have full faith that LA will thrive. My friends in social media love what we are doing and so many of them want to join us. What better way than to have me in our wonderful community of LA."

Mark’s passion for NewSwing and his confidence in leading the Los Angeles team promise a vibrant future for our operations there. His connections in the social media world and his deep understanding of our company's ethos are sure to drive innovative initiatives and foster a strong community.

" Let us cultivate a legacy of excellence, innovation, and enduring impact, shaping the future of NewSwing Academies and inspiring generations to come" - Jose Manuel Anderson

Our time in Mykonos is more than just a vacation; it's a chance to reconnect, recharge, and realign our vision for the future. The picturesque landscapes and the serene environment offer a perfect respite from our bustling schedules. As we enjoy the breathtaking views and the delightful company, we are reminded of the importance of balance and the value of taking time to appreciate our achievements.

In the days ahead, as we dine under the Mykonos sky and share stories and laughter, we are not just celebrating our past successes but also dreaming boldly about the future. With Jose at the helm and a dedicated team by his side, there is no doubt that NewSwing will continue to soar to new heights.

Here's to a fruitful stay in Greece, a promising future, and the spirit of NewSwing!
