Keynotes and Workshops


To schedule a keynote or workshop, send an e-mail to familyadventureguy[at]gmail.com.

My goal is to help adults and children unshackle themselves from sedentary living, too much stress, self-imposed limits and anything else that gets in the way of pursuing a healthy, meaningful life.  I do this through keynotes and workshops at companies, organizations and schools, and one-on-one consulting.

Praise for Charles R. Scott’s Talks


“Every time I hear you speak, I learn something new!  Your tone, connection, and tips were wonderful, and I got a lot of good feedback from faculty/administration as well as the students.  Really inspiring and wonderful.”
—Michelle Bertrand, Director of Alumni Relations, United Nations International School
“Big thanks for speaking to our group! The feedback has been very positive… You also had some great catchy quotes that I already heard people repeat and I expect to hear more of those from our guys when we try to muddle through problems at work. “Stop coming up with excuses. Just find a way.” I know I will hold myself and my team to that!”
—Irina Likhachova, Senior Communications Officer, IFC Portfolio and
Operational Risk Department, World Bank Group
“Charles is an inspiring speaker and provocative thinker.  I’m the CEO of a company and came out of his workshop not only with practical ideas to improve my business, but creative ideas on how to add adventure to my life.”
—Becky Sharpe, President/CEO, International Scholarship and Tuition Services, Inc.
“Charles is an inspiring speaker.  His presentation made me challenge the norm around my personal and business life and elevate my expectations of both.”
—Joleyn Smithing, President, Collegiate Sports Data
“You were both inspiring and your words both educational, and confirming – for our students and staff alike.”
