Scotwork Tales From The Table: Our Golden Anniversary

It’s significant when a business is thriving on its golden anniversary. We asked the Scotwork North America team for their perspectives on our big birthday party. Here’s what they had to say…

Happy Birthday Scotwork! It’s been a great 23 years working with Scotwork and I look forward to a few more! I have had the pleasure to teach around the world and see the commonality that people share when negotiating. Although local culture is important, the skills that we teach are truly global and transferrable.

I’ve spent the past 30 years as an editor, working mostly in music journalism. During that time, I’ve had the privilege to work with extraordinary writers, producing books, magazines, digital media content, and more. Editing the Scotwork North America blog and its accompanying Tales from the Table books for the past seven years has given me insight into human nature and made me attuned to the music of negotiation. Happy birthday, Scotwork, and thank you for the many valuable lessons.

As a self-described polymath, I’ve spent the last 20 years honing my skills in several fields. I cut my teeth in the video game industry as a storyboard artist, concept artist, and art director, then dabbled in comics by working with Marvel. I shifted gears into the learning and development space 15 years ago, developing content for some of the world’s leading tech giants. I’ve benefitted immensely by creating artwork for Scotwork these past seven years and attending their flagship course! It’s given me an intimate look at and the opportunity to contribute to how Scotwork brings the art of negotiation to life.
