Scott McArthur

Please welcome to the stage Scott, an accomplished keynote speaker and executive coach whose expertise stems from working with over 200 organisations worldwide in delivering transformative change programs across various sectors. However, what sets Scott apart is his unique ability to weave together his knowledge and experiences into compelling narratives that transcend business and delve into the depths of the human condition.

Scott is a published scientist in the field of degenerative disease, a poet with a talent for storytelling, an HR specialist in performance and technology, a writer in music, prose, and business, and a multi-award-winning consultant, trainer, and speaker. He has even been recognised for his contribution to Scottish music and has had one of his websites identified as culturally significant in his hometown of Glasgow.

“A great professional speaker entertains. A superlative professional speaker makes you want to change behaviours. Scott is a brilliant storyteller, but so are many. But how many coaches or speakers could make you want to change the way you think? Pure gold dust – and infinitely versatile thanks to a stunning back catalogue of top notch business and academic experience.” -Simon Scott-Kemball (Business & Social Communications Manager, EUROCONTROL)

Scott believes that “The future is a foreign country, and we are all in danger of becoming refugees” His keynotes and executive development programmes give people some much-needed hope for the Future and provide ideas and tools to help them navigate.

“Scott is a modern-day Jules Verne, an explorer of worlds – our past, present and future. With both feet on the ground – one rooted in science and one as a weaver of powerful stories – he encourages and enables individuals, teams and organisations to peer into the uncertain and great unknown with enough courage and fortitude to be willing to explore the ground beneath their feet, that which they know, and to take the next step forward to their version of a better future.”  Paul Crick, Leadership Development Specialist

His co-authored book on Glasgow’s music scene has even been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. With Scott’s extensive knowledge and experience, he inspires audiences with unique tools and techniques that they can take back to their lives and workplaces and make a real difference.

“Scott brings a huge amount of creativity and passion to his speaking and executive events. He provides deep expert insight into future literacy, employee engagement and communication. He is not afraid to challenge his senior clients to achieve superior results.” -Ursula Morgenstern (CEO, Atos)

Scott’s keynotes focus on “Future Literacy,” with a particular emphasis on the future of work and our relationship with disruptive technologies such as Biotechnology, AI, and Nanotechnology. He delivers his talks with a visually impactful and carefully evidenced-based style, infused with a hint of Billy Connolly-like humor that will leave a lasting impression on his audience. Please give a warm welcome to Scott!
