After years of keynote speaking and national conference work, Scot has shifted his focus to something more valuable: intimate, working sessions with companies and groups where the conversation goes deep and the outcomes are real. The goal is not to deliver a polished talk — it is to help the people in the room think more clearly about the challenges they are actually facing.
Workshops are available for companies, executive teams, and peer groups in the Missouri and Midwest region. Scot also speaks for industry associations, CEO roundtables, and business owner groups — particularly those focused on leadership transition, entrepreneurship, and business legacy.
A full-day or half-day workshop built around the five steps of the Ardent Process. Designed for founding CEOs and their leadership teams who are beginning — or deepening — the transition journey. Participants leave with a clear action plan and the tools to execute it.
A focused working session to identify, map, and begin transferring the knowledge that lives only in the founder's head. Practical, structured, and immediately actionable. Best suited for companies where a transition is actively underway.
A workshop for leadership teams — the emerging leaders who will carry the legacy forward. Covers ownership mindset, entrepreneurial thinking, and the responsibilities that come with being entrusted with something someone else built.
A facilitated strategic planning process designed specifically for founder-led businesses. Goes beyond the standard frameworks to address the unique challenges of companies where the founder's vision, relationships, and judgment are embedded in the strategy itself.
Scot hosts small, private gatherings for business owners and CEOs — peer group discussions, collaborative problem-solving sessions, and informal roundtables for leaders who benefit from honest conversation with people who understand what it means to run a company.
These gatherings are intentionally small and invitation-based. If you are interested in participating or learning more, reach out directly.
