Brooks E. Scott
I'm a connection percolator.
What does that mean? It means I build connection not
only through what I say & do, but also in how I listen.
Whether working as a VP for a $9-billion dollar cyber-security company, building diverse teams from scratch, the Manager of Operations for the protection team for the CEO & COO of Facebook, a state trooper, a 5th-grade school teacher, an executive coach, D& I strategic advisor, or advising on internal & external communications for companies, I realized that while I was damn good at what I was doing, everything I did had a singular focus: connection.
Here’s the bottom line: as humans, we are biologically wired to connect. But we’ve strayed so far from that truth that we have basically trained ourselves to be pretty bad at connection. The good news is...we can change that.
