Since the early nineties Scott has been presenting motivation, leadership and photography sessions to a wide variety of audiences. His audiences range from after dinner corporate events, camera clubs and teacher training to school groups, Round Table Youth Leadership Camps and Gifted & Talented student groups.
His unique background at the sharp end of the UK education system and in professional and wildlife photography has given him the ability to match his presentations to his audience. He prides himself that, whether the group is large or small, he can make it personal. With smaller groups he encourages discussion and involves the group.
Recently Scott discovered Zoom Talks, enabling him to run sessions from his home in Namibia. He quickly found that he can maintain a degree of interaction leading to a relaxed “Evening with Scott Hurd.”
For more information about Scott please see his Resumé.
