The Keynotes

Four signature keynotes, available individually or as a series. Each stand alone and cross sells naturally.

Before the First Handshake

What is really shared online

What people truly share through their digital footprint goes further than most of us realise, and that includes your clients, potential clients, and your own teams. How people use pronouns, adjectives aligned with positive experience, and even trust building nonverbal indicators can all be identified before you sit in a room with someone. Trust development begins well before that first face to face meeting. Managed correctly, we can influence positive gut first impressions before the handshake even happens.

Speaking with Confidence, Influence and Impact

We all want to be heard, and for our words to have real meaning, yet most of us make consistent errors, verbally and nonverbally, that reduce our actual impact. Whether you're leading a team, closing a deal, or navigating a difficult conversation, the ability to share your message and have it truly land is a critical skill. This talk helps you sharpen your RSVP, rhythm, speed, volume and pitch, and your overall communication confidence.

Why the Feet are the Most Honest Part of the Body

And other body language secrets

We default to reading faces to work out if someone is comfortable, honest, or safe, but you've been lying with your face since you were a child. This talk delivers a toe to head breakdown of key nonverbal indicators, helping you identify what people are not saying with their words but are leaking with their behaviour. The lens goes both ways, helping attendees amplify their own trust building and likeability.

The Nonverbals of Those with Violent Intent

Everyone has the right to go home safe. Scott teaches attendees how to recognise the nonverbal indicators linked to deception, weapon concealment, and potential hostile or harmful intent. From stronger situational and behavioural awareness through to a deeper understanding of verbal and nonverbal behavioural deviation, attendees leave empowered with real, applicable knowledge to identify and navigate potentially volatile circumstances.
