The most powerful tool in a fast-changing world isn’t knowledge—it’s curiosity.
Curiosity is humanity’s greatest gift. I’m here to help you ignite it.
Let’s get one thing straight: Curiosity isn’t just about asking more questions. It’s about challenging assumptions, exploring bold possibilities, and embracing the unknown as a space for growth.
I help people harness their curiosity to move past fear, grow with confidence, and create meaningful impact.
Let’s rethink what’s possible—and make it happen.

[As a facilitator and speaker at the 2024 Leadership and Humanity Symposium in Tasmania]
Your ability to lead us from our initial surface-level questions to deeper, more meaningful ones, and ultimately to actionable insights, was truly impactful. Attendees were inspired by how curiosity can transform not only our thinking but also our leadership actions.
My team had the pleasure of attending a workshop on nurturing curiosity, led by Scott. His engaging approach and insights transformed the way we think about curiosity, the power of questions, exploration in our work and challenging the status quo. Scott created a supportive environment that encouraged open dialogue and creativity, leaving us inspired and equipped with practical tools to foster curiosity in our team. We left feeling energized and eager to apply what we learned. Highly recommend!.
Scott is a skilled facilitator. We asked for a free-flowing format, that invited open and frank discussions with minimal input from the facilitator. Scott guided the program and took us through the agenda but did not interfere or inhibit the conversation. He kept us on course and summarised the outcomes with full insight into what we were trying to achieve. He was not the ‘main game’ as happens with many facilitators but only involved himself to clarify the discussion, record the main points and determine actions and responsibilities. The ideas were all ours and made sure we got through the agenda, ensuring everyone participated. It was a very productive and rewarding couple of days and we all left feeling inspired and confident.
Scott is personable and inspirational, with a sound grasp of how to draw together ideas into an achievable set of goals, whilst working with a disparate group. We will engage him again when we build on this session to prepare our Strategic Plan. He was a great find!
Scott, thank you for the absolutely brilliant keynote address you gave our MBN group. The feedback from attendees reflected the value and appreciation we all felt. Your choice of presentation topic [The State of Social Enterprise] was perfect for our group and the content was brought to life with your polished stage craft and responsive interaction with our audience. A totally professional performance, and it was a pleasure to work with you.
Scott’s worked with me as a business advisor and as a Harthill Leadership Development coach.
As a business advisor, Scott has a wonderful ability of being able to cut through all the noise of business and clarify the root cause of different issues. He possesses that rare ability to distil complex ideas and communicate strategies and actions in a way that feels achievable.
As a Harthill Leadership coach, Scott helped created safe and supportive space for me to explore some pretty deep and personal themes to further develop my own practice of leadership.
Working with Scott has been really joyful. He blends optimism with pragmatism, and humility with expertise. I come away from our interactions energised with actions to improve my business and grow my leadership.
As a seasoned entrepreneur, I’ve had the opportunity to work with numerous business advisors over the years, but none have left quite the impression that Scott has. From our very first consultation, Scott demonstrated a deep understanding of my business needs and goals. His ability to quickly grasp complex concepts and provide actionable insights is truly commendable. Scott’s strategic guidance has been instrumental in helping me navigate challenges and capitalise on opportunities.
Moreover, Scott’s excellent communication skills make him a pleasure to work with. He listens attentively, asks the right questions, and provides clear and concise advice that is tailored to my specific situation. It’s evident that Scott genuinely cares about his clients’ success and is willing to invest the time and effort to help them achieve their goals.
I cannot recommend Scott highly enough to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and dedicated business advisor or a coach. His expertise, professionalism, and genuine passion for what he does make him an invaluable asset to any business. Working with Scott has been a transformative experience, and I look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come.
