Making the complex stuff simple.
Dump doom scrolling downsides, what’s shit, doesn’t work, won’t work, can’t be fixed, takes too long, costs too much and won’t solve it anyway. Dump days of solid structure, open up, tea at 10, pee at 11, lunch at 12. Dabble and babble until the fug becomes a bug. Dump the duty of pleasing, saying … Continued
Since we last met a lot of me has travelled. The wanderless topsy-turvy tangles would never be ironed to a pinch perfect pleat. More playful not less, still silly not stressed. I never lost sight of the challenge, the cheek, the mischief, the mishaps and tumbles. I’m thankful for the rough stuff, the hardball, The … Continued
We don’t need rule breakers. We need a few more mavericks. Countless Cantona’s and Kaufmanns. Buckets of brilliantly bonkers Bjork’s. We need an expansion of experimenters. Bold Blumenthal’s. An explosion of Edison’s. A delicious dapple of Dysonista’s. We need an extravagance of expressive’s. A kaleidoscope of Kahlo and Klint’s. Bombastically bold Bowie and gargantuan Ga Ga’s. We need … Continued
Laugh at yourself. Look after those you love. Make every day like Christmas. Give out, give away, dance, jig and sing forgiveness. Invite them all for dinner. Buy the best food and wine. Over tip, be over the top. Be Ebeneezer dopamine. Be as giddy as a drunken man. Shout joy from the rooftops. Now … Continued
What if lies came in colours other than white? I’m sure we’ve all told a wee white one like, “I need to go cause that the postie just came to the door”, or “It wisnae me, it wis ma food”, or maybe even, “Sorry honey, I’ve just missed the train” only to be rumbled by … Continued
I’ll tell you what I miss… The gallus gab of Glasgow. Sitting in the square, eating a square, watching a square go. Circling round Argyll, eyes up seeing Rennie Mac and Buchanan street style show. Warrington Bank Quay, shitty cereal bars, the long trek choo-choo in the morn. The out of order hole in the wall. … Continued
Let’s not walk, let’s wander, let’s take a path of your choice. Let’s shortcut, new cut, jump through, and wiggle and weave not poise. Let’s go on a journey that’s unplanned, untamed, wild and far. Let’s get to the un-get-at-able, make memorable moments by stars. Let’s travel by quest and untapped, let’s sample the scented … Continued
Last week I met a bloke I hadn’t seen since Mr Boyd was extenuating the linguistic joys of standard grade English. Our micro school reunion started with the obligatory question of, “So what are you up to these days?” Now I’m never proper sure whether this moment of truth is referring to how large my … Continued
August 2013 saw three new top bosses start their roles with three separate major UK companies. All of which are competing for the same prize. Their roles are also of an equivalent status. Their marketplace is highly commercial and attracts hefty investment year, after year, after year. The main challenge of which the Managers face … Continued
Do you believe you are capable of delivering really creative and innovative solutions? I believe we are all capable of this; it’s just that some suppress it for any number of reasons. School education and indeed most working roles require us to fit in and not in fact to stand out. Take your curriculum you … Continued
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.
Working with Scott is a truly rewarding experience, his creative and inclusive thinking encourages and inspires the people who work around him to bring the best version of themselves to the work environment. 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. His ability to design high quality solutions for clients sets him apart from many others. One of my clients (Sales Director) described Scott as providing the best piece of facilitation he has experienced in his career!
