Scott’s Solutions, Support & Occasional Sarcastic Remarks
Who’s this guy, anyway?
22 + years. 2,000 + workshops. 100,000+ students. And somehow, I’m still learning more than I teach.
For over 22 years, I’ve worked with student leaders and educators who are doing the hard stuff: showing up, stepping up, and trying to do right by people without losing their minds in the process.
I say the quiet stuff out loud, share tools that hold up in real life, and make you laugh right before you realize, “Wait… is he talking about me?”
If you’re learning to lead, or helping others lead, I’m here to make it a little easier, a lot more honest, and maybe even fun.
If that sounds like something you need, pull up a chair.
You’re in the right place.
The more you give, the more you get.
- Scott Lang
Let’s get you where you need to go.

You’re in the right place.
You do the most good when you’re doing what you are most good at.

Got questions? Good. That means you’re paying attention.
Even better? You’ve got backup.
Leadership is messy, loud, and complicated. If you’ve got questions, good—you’re paying attention. I’ve got answers, straight from someone who’s seen it all and somehow still loves it. I read and respond to every email (after a little coffee, of course), because leadership’s too hard to figure out alone - and you shouldn’t have to.
