At the core of Scott’s speaking and executive events is his knowledge gleaned from working in over 200 organizations across the world delivering transformation and change programs for multiple sectors. However, his makers mark on the conference stage are his stories which go much deeper than business into the human condition. He is a published scientist (degenerative disease) poet (narrative) HR specialist (performance and technology) and writer (music, prose, and business) and has won awards for consulting, training, speaking, and for his contribution to Scottish music. One of his websites has been identified as being of cultural importance in his hometown of Glasgow (Scotland) and his co-authored book on Glasgow’s music scene has been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.
When speaking Scott is able to mould a convincing narrative from these disciplines to inspire the conference audience and to provide them with unique tools and techniques that they can take back into their lives and workplaces and make a real difference to their lives.
Scott’s keynotes are particularly concerned with “Future Literacy” and specifically focus on the future of work and our relationship with disruptive technologies such as Biotechnology, AI, and Nanotechnology. His delivery style is visually impactful, carefully evidenced-based, and delivered with a hint of Billy Connolly-like humor his talks are never forgotten.
Topics
Bringing Your Organization to its Senses
This is Scott’s signature keynote, which is the foundation for his other talks and client specific presentations. The key theme centers on why we should and how we can go about connecting our workplaces with science and humanities.
Delegates will learn how to:
- apply the thinking skills of the sculptor to your personal and organizational development;
- appreciate the nuances of personal and group communications;
- think like a scientist and create like an artist;
- use the idea of having “strong opinions weakly held” and how this can help overcome implicit bias and improve creativity and performance.
This keynote is great for the entire workforce, leaders, marketing, HR, and L&D groups.
Leading From The Inside Out
Much of what we do is done by habit i.e. we do things because we have done them previously. This keynote aims to disrupt these habits by providing tools and techniques (physical and cognitive) which reveal new levels of personal awareness, improve decision making and support habit change on an individual and organizational level.
Intended audience:
- Individuals seeking career progression
