Scott’s 2016 talk for FAN stands apart from others in three ways: He quickly establishes intimacy with the audience via a deft weave of personal narrative, research, and on-the-fly insight; He emanates a sensitive, deep optimism, and delivers his theories and observations with compassion and humor; and He has an open, curious “beginner’s mind,” that is balanced with astute, nuanced observations. Scott’s wholehearted engagement with his work is a pleasure to witness.
