As the owner of an SME I initially embarked on my journey with Scott to help me develop and enhance my management skills. From just the initial introduction Scott’s warm, calm and welcoming persona instantly put me at ease. Most notably, Scott helped me to understand my own personality and thus management style, two things I had never previously considered synonymous. Throughout our sessions he guided me through a variety of different challenges, showing me how and where I could use my strengths advantageously, whilst simultaneously avoiding falling into my pitfalls. Rather than just provide me with solutions, Scott helped me to slow down, take a step back and reminded me to always consider the bigger picture. I feel it was the completely tailor-made approach to our discussions that really made every session as powerful and effective as they were. Scott was unphased by any questions I had and always made my thoughts and opinions feel considered. Scott challenged me to change my perspective and helped me to realise that it was possible to create and adopt my own effective leadership style that would complement my personality and the ethos of my company whilst strengthening my team. He helped me to see the power of simple things, like rephrasing a question, and how this effectively creates an open dialogue between myself and my colleagues, also helping them to feel empowered and listened to.

Scott is an incredibly gifted coach and teacher, I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with him. When I wasn’t getting something, he rephrased the concept until we found an angle that worked for me. He made me feel heard as I brought up concerns and questions throughout our session. Scott genuinely cares about his clients, and will work tirelessly to ensure they are happy with the results of a coaching session. I would absolutely recommend him.

You helped me develop so much that it’s hard to believe! You made me uncover and realize my strengths and focus on them. Thank you for everything you have done for me.

If you think back to the coaches who have made a difference in your life, however small or big, my guess is a smile of gratitude will appear on your face. Scott is certainly one of those coaches. Part of what sets him apart is that he understands that people learn in different ways, and makes it a point to adjust his own style of teaching rather than forcing you you to learn in a way that is unnatural for you. Even after only a couple of sessions of working with him, I had several “Eureka” moments where things suddenly made sense, and as a result progressed in my journey far quicker than I ever have before. When you’re struggling to make gains in whatever you’re doing, having a personable, kind and caring ally by your side really can make all the difference. I cannot recommend this guy enough!

This training was immediately applicable to my managerial role and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to take it. I think everyone should consider participating if they work alongside people – it gave me great insight into how to have productive conversations within the workplace, and continue to build strong relationships with my co-workers. Thank you Scott for facilitating this training, your passion and enthusiasm was obvious and appreciated.

Scott Boiko’s Managing through Strengths provides a refreshing approach to team member development. Scott imparts Ofman’s Model with ease, helping the audience understand and apply it immediately to daily experiences. He also shares fantastic tools to guide self-reflection and assessment of team member strengths. I walked away feeling empowered, with new coaching tactics and vocabulary to develop my team. Scott is a knowledgeable and engaging facilitator, and I highly recommend this course to all leaders and team members looking to foster an engaging and productive workplace.

I recently took the LabVIEW Developing Embedded Applications Using CompactRIO and LabVIEW Real-Time training that was led by Scott. This is the third LabVIEW training course I have taken but the first time I had Scott as an instructor. I can say that Scott has been the best instructor I have had for LabVIEW training so far. He makes it interested and interactive. He is very knowledgeable in the material and, as hard as we tried, we could not stump him with any of our questions. He did not just read from the slides or the book which made the course more enjoyable. If anyone in the class had questions about the way different functions in the software would operate “if you did this or that”, he would bring up the software and create an example, test it out and we talked about why it did what it did. I would definitely ask to have Scott back again for future trainings.

I have learned a lot from your coaching and as I continue developing my skills I will keep your advice in mind.
