Scott is the most effective leadership and development coach I’ve ever worked with (and there have been more than a few). Scott is highly proficient with all of the current leadership and development methodologies on offer (DiSC, Work of Leaders, Clifton Strengths, you name it), but unlike others he is agnostic as to particular methodologies and only focused on which methodology will best connect with, and be most effective for, each individual client (in my case it was Clifton Strengths). As an added bonus, he is also expert in Interest Based Negotiating, which we’ve implemented in our organization to great effect. If you’re looking to move yourself, your people and your organization toward better understanding, better communication, more cohesion and improved results – there’s no one better than Scott to assist you in doing so.

As the Assistant Director of Media Relations during the NJCAA’s strategic planning and organizational redesign initiative, I was able to see first-hand the knowledge, expertise and dedication that Scott Geddis and his entire team bring to the table. They do an excellent job of balancing the unique needs of a specific organization with the evidence-based solutions that can improve communication, culture, capacity for change and operational effectiveness. Now that I’m working in a different field, I wish I could bring Inspired Engagement to my new employer!

As always Scott made the learning experience the last couple of days most illuminating. Someday I hope I am able to be as effective as a teacher/presenter. His passion and immutable care for the subject is abundantly apparent and quite positively infectious. Scott is indeed the epitome of a master student-teacher. You are at once my ‘Builder’, ‘Collaborator’ and ‘Mind opener’. I doff my hat to you for each instance…especially in continually expanding the horizon in my strengths journey. I glean valuable insights from Scott with every conversation, workshop or training. Scott, thank you for being you and for your indefatigable commitment to our journey.

I was fortunate to be a part of the NJCAA Excellence initiative led by Scott Geddis and the Inspired Engagement team.  Scott and his team’s, knowledge, expertise, vision, guidance and personal touch were outstanding and powerful.  In my 20+ years in education, the last 14 in higher education the retreats and strategic planning sessions  they facilitated were the best I have ever attended.  I currently am using some of the ideas at my school and the benefits have paid off and led to Herkimer College winning the coveted NATYCAA Cup the last 3 out of 4 years.  Hats off to Scot and his team for a great job.

When our 600+ employee college was struggling with organizational climate issues and low employee engagement, Inspired Engagement was the perfect partner to help us begin to turn things around. We’d worked with Scott for many years on our CliftonStrengths programs. To address our culture challenges, Scott and his team created a one-year executive development program for the President’s cabinet, including highly valued one-on-one coaching opportunities. Scott introduced the college to Interest-based Dialogue to build our collaboration and decision-making skills. In addition, he helped us form a nimble, action-focused Organizational Culture Team to champion college-wide communication and collaboration. Staying on the path Scott and his team helped us develop will move our college culture to where we need it to be.

For over a decade, Scott Geddis has been a steadfast supporter and friend of Rend Lake College and our people. The leadership tools Inspired Engagement brought to our college have been great for helping our employees better understand each other and collaborate. Scott is an excellent presenter and has real-world examples to help illustrate most leadership situations. Scott genuinely cares about our college; I consider him an authentic friend and coach.

Inspired Engagement brings a unique focus to developing your institution at multiple levels through various stages of its life cycle.  The approach is pragmatic, genuine, authentic, and sustainable.
