Scott is an ICF certified Executive Coach and Management Trainer who specializes in helping leaders to more skillfully navigate Difficult Conversations, master Conflict (especially for those who hate confrontation!), and build highly Collaborative and Cohesive Teams. Having worked in the trenches of various managerial positions for over 15 years, culminating in running a mid-range business himself, Scott knows only too well the challenges and joys of leading both teams and companies. He is also a certified NLP Coach, a Master Practitioner of NLP and a long-time student of NVC, Zen, Qigong and, more recently, the nonviolent martial art Aikido. Scott brings all of these disciplines together in an approach to Embodied Leadership that focuses on the whole leader- head, heart and guts - and his great passion is to support leaders in "growing bigger than their problems". When not coaching or torturing himself with ridiculously long hours of Zazen (Zen meditation), you will usually find Scott on a "nature adventure" with his wife and two kids.
