Scott’s story invites us all to learn some valuable life lessons, have a laugh and reflect on how goal setting can be the road map to a great life. Reading his book was inspiring, meeting Scott and watching him work with our students was amazing!"

– Cheryl Kane

Testimonials

"I have known Scott for many years and have had him speak to staff and students at ELTHAM College over the past three years.

His story, the way he presents it, and the response he receives from people of all ages has been consistent and outstanding.

His natural, honest and inspiring story and presentation has the ability to motivate students to just 'have a go' and never feel you cannot achieve your goals. A wonderful young man with a will to achieve great things."

– Mark Pobjoy

Director, Senior Year, Eltham College

Testimonials

"I would like to thank Scott, for inspiring me at a time when I truly felt lost. Year 12, and the pressure’s we all feel to decide your life’s path at such a young age is tough, however the impact Scott Harris’s story has had on my life, and my choice of career is enormous.

Scott’s story of courage, determination and positivity is the sole reason I decided to study to become an occupational therapist. Scott’s passion, and message of courage inspired me to choose a career that will allow me to help people to live their lives independently.

In 2015, I completed my Masters of Occupational Therapy, and am now a qualified Occupational Therapist. Thank you, Scott, for inspiring me to follow the career path I never knew I wanted but am forever grateful for! "

– Caitlin Smith

Ex-Student, St Helena College

Testimonials

"When a year 12 boy left the presentation and then decided to come all the way back to the theatre to thank you personally for your presentation, and to say that was just what he needed... that is EXACTLY why you should do what you do. If you only reached that one student today, it still has been worth it.

I feel like you may have had a bigger impact though!

Thanks so much!"

– Roz Wilson

Thanks a lot."

"We had Scott B Harris visit us today at Nagle College and we are so appreciative of his time to speak with our students.

Scott inspired them to overcome the challenges and every day adversities they face. His presentation was so inspiring, which is exactly what the kids needed to hear. I know that he has had a lasting impact on all of our students."

– Gabrielle Costin

Testimonials

"Throughout the whole presentation, the girls were all very engaged, and really appreciated hearing Scott’s story and how he was able to overcome adversity. It really made them stop and think about the choices they are making, which was such an important message when they are coming to the end of their schooling.

Finding gratitude in their own lives was one thing that they all took away from this presentation, and Scott gave them strength to take on adversity next time they’re faced with a challenge."

– Hayley Gamble Curran

Loreto House Coordinator, Our Lady of Mercy College

Testimonials

"Scott B Harris is a remarkable keynote speaker who has the ability to capture and inspire audiences from all walks of life. It has been a pleasure and honour to see Scott involved in SFYS Project work delivering an outstanding keynote to primary school age students residing in East Gippsland Victoria.

Scott’s laugh is infectious, his empathy and connectedness to raw emotions empowers his young audiences. Scott drives the often-harsh realities of life; he has the insight and emotional maturity that speaks to the hearts of his young audiences through a nurturing and often humorous translation.

I highly recommend Scott B Harris as a speaker of choice for any young person standing at a crossroad in life seeking direction. Scott facilitates raw introspection to assist the development of a positive, growth mindset. This man is courageous, one of the finest human spirits you will ever meet who will leave you feeling that you can achieve anything you set your mind to."

His presentation has had a profound impact on me personally and the team today as well. He really took us on a journey and stripped himself bare in terms of where he’s come from what he’s learned along the way. What a brilliant presentation."
