January 12th, 2008

Stuart Scott is one of only 15 trainers internationally who have been appointed Master Trainer status in Dr Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats®, Lateral Thinking and Direct Attention Thinking Tools™. The Holst Group is proud to be the only de Bono Partner in the world with a full-time Master Trainer working within the organisation.  Stuart was awarded his De Bono certification in Training during the year 2000 and was instrumental in teaching Dr de Bono’s work to unemployed people in the UK as part of the Government’s New Deal and Gateway to Work programmes. This work has now been extended into similar training for all marginal groups and disadvantaged people. Further accreditations followed in 2004 when he was also accredited as the first official Facilitator of Dr de Bono’s work globally.

 In December 2002 he was awarded the coveted De Bono Master Trainer in recognition of the outstanding work he has done in the field of training and development of Dr Edward de Bono’s Thinking Skills and Techniques. To become a Master trainer you have to be appointed by The De Bono Thinking Systems who are the World Distributors of Dr De Bono’s work. To represent Dr de Bono, a high level of experience and successful feedback from all courses is mandatory. Master trainers are the only authorised trainers who may conduct the trainer Certification courses.  Stuart has worked extensively with all three sectors throughout

Europe and the rest of the world including British Telecom, the NHS, Microsoft, Unison, the UK Medical And Drugs Advisory Board, Wrigley, The Civil Service, Major Banks and several leading charity and other commercial organizations. This training, combined with his presentation of other Thinking Skills courses, has given Stuart a very broad base of experience for the successful training of delegates at all levels.

 Before joining The Holst group, Stuart spent over 25 years with Hallmark Cards Inc based at their European Head Office in The UK. As Sales Training and HR Specialist he developed and implemented many of the courses and techniques still being used today. Stuart was responsible for the design and implementation of a five-year training programme for all Hallmark

UK employees on their business processing system.  He has also carried out consultancy work for Sky Television and Powergen before joining The Holst Group as their Senior Trainer in April 1999.
