Scott is a great business partner. His delivery style is engaging, fun and practical. He is able to connect with delegates at various levels across an organisation. He has a creative approach to designing development material and his usage of Iconography is an example of this where uses it to make a complex topic simple.
Our expectations have been surpassed each time we use Scott’s services. As an HR Function ee have significantly improved our employee engagement, received higher praise on the quality of the training and seen teams achieve things I don’t even think they thought possible a year ago.
Our new business is increasing, our employee engagement score is increasing and our staff turnover and lost time rate decreasing. Cornerstone are exceptionally grateful to the help and support from Scott and for truly tailoring each project to our needs.

His energetic ‘go getting’ style drives real momentum and pace on projects, he does not just come up with ideas that are innovative they are practical and add value.
I would recommend working with him to organisations who are really ‘serious’ about transforming the way the people in their environment do business.
Scott’s delivery style is excellent, quickly establishing a good rapport with groups whilst being professional. He has extensive knowledge of Management theories and practice. Feedback from all delegates is always excellent. He has a good sense of humour and has the ability to get on with people at any level within the organisation.
Scott is one of the most creative, challenging and pragmatic training professional’s I have had the pleasure to work with.
