“Those were the questions I wish I’d asked myself 25 years ago!”

“Scotty doesn’t just speak, he welcomes, he immerses, he uplifts and awakens! We have invited Scotty to help facilitate a variety of experiences over the years, from large-scale outdoor team-challenges to international retreats and intimate, experiential gatherings. No matter the setting or format, he steps in, takes full ownership, and leads from a place of heart-centered intelligence leaving all in attendance changed. Scotty is a remarkable storyteller, deeply-schooled in the tools and techniques of revelation and always comes from a place of service and kindness. People love being in his company and soaking up his infectious energy. If you have the chance to bring him into your event, do it!”
— Jonathan Fields, Founder of the Good Life Project

Explore What Matters founder Scotty Johnson explores; how do you design adventures and field work that can make a real difference to people and the planet? This is a 20 minute interactive talk featuring challenging questions aimed to make you think. Filmed at the 2016 Royal Geographical Society Explore Conference.
