“I was preparing for an upcoming conference agenda for my department, and I wanted to finish on a high note that would tie an inspirational message together with some of the business themes we have been experiencing. In talking with Scott, he quickly understood the nature of our business and some of the opportunities and challenges we were facing and was able to relate that back to his experience recovering from his accident. We had a great conference, but Scott was undoubtedly the highlight as he absolutely captivated the audience and got several standing ovations. I can’t recommend Scott highly enough if you are looking for someone who can motivate your team and help relate your company’s challenges with those he has faced. Truly one of the best speakers I have had the pleasure of working with or listening to.”

Scott, I have certainly not forgotten about you, nor has the impression you made on me diminished. I actually have been carrying your business card in my pocket, to remind me that no challenge is too great for me to give my best effort. I have heard nothing but positive feedback from our Agency Owner’s, Exclusive Financial Specialists’ and Field Leaders.
Your message could not have come at a better time given the state of the economy and the concerns shared by our customers, agents and leaders. Your message not only offers hope, it offers a frame of reference when we may start to feel sorry for our self, when we look at the hand that was dealt. One individual who always has a lumber of problems or issue that need attention came up to me after the meeting. I said hello, expecting to get a list of what is wrong. They looked at me smiled and
said “I don’t have any problems, just a lot of opportunities”.
