Award Winning Leadership & Management Development

Wonder With Purpose

I’m Scott from the Learning Lab. We’re consultancy and training creators, building better humans in organisations and beyond. Great development isn’t built on manuals or management clichés. It’s built on people. How they think, feel, create, collaborate and grow.

About The Lab

Creative by design. Human by nature.

We believe learning should feel good. No endless slides or human foghorns. No synergising strategies – whatever the heck that means!

Scott In A Client Meeting

In the room we facilitate creation, not consumption. We keep the ball in the learner’s court with powerful questions and the odd goofy one for good measure.

Curiosity is our favourite destination, and death by PowerPoint is unforgivable. We listen hard, create a safe space to bloom, and never forget the power of positivity, purpose and play.

"We believe in scaring ourselves a little every day, sparking innovation, ideation and inspiration while balancing input, experience and reflection."

Our activities have a meaningful focus. We enable imagination to meet intention to ensure learners goals get real. Above all, we learn together, grow together and get stuff done.

Our principles

  • Practical tools you can use the moment you leave. Transferring learning into action. We help stuff stick.

  • Neuroscience that rocks and makes sense, not a headache of blah and bluster.

  • Keeping it human. People are both messy and magical. We’re here for it all and everything in-between.

  • Igniting your own wee eurekas, those honest chats, “Oh yeah…I do that don’t I?” realisations.

  • Kindness is a wonderful currency to trade in. We approach learning with an open mind and a big heart.

  • Life is too short to take so seriously. Good learning plays with purpose.

Our results

Leaders who show up with humility, not drama llamas. Teams that talk, trust, grow and get stuff done. Decisions made with clarity and a healthy wee slice of confidence. A culture that catches you in, not out. Skills that stick, tools that work, and action that actually follows.

About Scott

I make leadership, management and personal development less vanilla and a whole lot more human.

I’ve spent the last 18 years building The Learning Lab, converting complex challenges into learning that pulls through into actual results.

My style is engaging, practical and human – fuelled by curiosity, creativity and fancy pants marshmallows.

I believe in questioning what’s possible and scaring ourselves just a wee bit every day.

I’m a keen writer, spinning short stories, adventures and poems on my Ungetatable Place space on Medium.

I’m music daft. Bowie on repeat, Pearl Jam loud and Motown sweet enough to make your toes tap. I’m happiest on a bike, downhill if I’m brave, road if the weather behaves, and a runner… until I get bored at around 7k.

I love to bake and occasionally turn up to learning events with homemade treats. Baking, like leadership, is a craft – shaped by patience, practice and learning from the stuff that doesn’t quite work. I can bake bread, but I’ll never master it. That’s kind of the point.

Why work with Scott?

Because life’s too short for boring workshops. I make leadership, management and personal development:

  • Human – no fluff, no jargon, just real people doing real stuff.

  • Memorable – ideas you actually remember, and enjoy.

  • Practical – useful tools you can actually use, not just nod politely at.

  • Fun – learning that sparks curiosity, creativity.

I’ll challenge you, inspire you, and leave you feeling aha! And if you’re lucky, you might get cake.
