What does The Change Energiser do?
Scott works with fractured, stalled or broken teams. They have lost their buzz, their mojo. Scott helps them clarify their priorities, to re-energise their broken team work and help them to cast vision.

He brings in that change energy to those teams or conferences. Where the team's buzz has flatlined.
Why does the buzz go?
Teams get beat up. Sales people getting no after no after no. Its like a team shelf life. Team work has a team shelf life. When it loses its active ingredient, it needs pepping up again.

Most importantly, this applies to financial advisers, corporate companies. Scott is a Vistage speaker.
What is a Fractured Team?
A great team is energised and looks forward to meetings. A fractured teams doesn't want to show up. Key players dont turn up to meetings. They aren't working well together. Their purpose is divided.
Where do you start to put it right?
Scott recommends holding retreats. They can be all day, half day or quarterly.

Contact Scott!



Scott mentioned a Houston based company. It was growing like topsy. The COO of the firm called in Scott. They were drowning. How could Scott help? He started by making clear what the top team's roles actually were. They didn't know. Their titles mis-represented what they did.

Importantly, Scott has the outside voice. Scott can say things from a completely different perspective. That gets their attention.

Where do these retreats take place?
Out of the office. A hotel with conference room. The key is to do something fun the night before. Golf, murder mystery, treats.

He took some fire fighters in charge of pensions skeet shooting. That's clay pigeon shooting to you and me. Scott was able to set the stage. Doing it afterwards gives a chance for people to ask questions after that day.

Graham recommends Scott takes his Texas clients to The Dixie Dude Ranch just outside San Antonio.
What types of individuals actually fracture teams?
So, what kinds of people exist in fractured or broken teams?

Drama Queen Darla - never ask her how she's doing. You'll get an earful.

Dishonest Dan - if his lips are moving you are NOT getting the full truth.

Arrogant Arnold - he is so stuck on himself.

Missing Martha - where is she? she's supposed to be here. What'd she call in sick for today?

Divisive Dale - he has a way of saying things before you come into the meeting that makes things divisive.

Debbie Downer - she's got nothing positive to say.

2 more that the #MeToo movement that have brought to our attention!

Miley Cyrus - That would be a distraction. Regardless of what she's wearing, she is a huge distraction. Usually, sexual.

What does Scott mean? Surely not...I'd welcome her in my team! :)

Charlie Sheen - you could never sit him beside or across from a woman.
How do you address their behaviours?
