Taylor Scott Biography
Taylor Scott's career has been up and down, filled with many peaks and valleys. Having worked through the effects of September 11, 2001, and the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009, Scott has stories of being hired, fired, coached, praised, and celebrated over the years. He has learned how to navigate the good, the bad, and the in-between of what he calls "Corporate Corporateness" to achieve fulfillment at work and at home.
Scott is a human being, like your customers, your team, and everyone in your organization. He believes that because people are all navigating the peaks and valleys of life, they should encourage each other. That belief led him to create Lead With Hospitality, LLC, to inspire a human approach to leadership that not only helps leaders get noticed and selected, but also inspires them to give their heart and completely change the game for themselves and their organizations.
While Scott loves sports, hotels, resorts, and hospitality leadership, his true passion is writing, speaking, encouraging, and inspiring. Drawing on his faith and personal experiences, Scott writes, speaks, and teaches to connect with people and reconnect them to what makes them happy, including having fun, being utilized for their special talents, achieving success, and growing into their full potential, both personally and professionally.
Scott's mission is to teach and coach up-and-coming leaders and executives how to Lead with Hospitality, ultimately making others feel welcome, comfortable, and important. He believes that before anyone becomes motivated to do anything, they must first feel something. His keynotes, workshops, and trainings unpack the principles, stories, and applications from his books, blogs, and articles through interactive, engaging experiences that audiences will not soon forget.
Audiences experience the magic of leading with hospitality and, in turn, become inspired to lead with hospitality in their own lives at work and at home. Scott believes life is too short for people to wake up every day, go to a job they hate, and feel sad, depressed, and defeated in the process. Leaders have the opportunity to make a positive impact, changing the game for their people and their own lives. Scott's leadership development content and one-on-one coaching sessions are personal, customizable, and unique to each client's needs. His clients include Fortune 500 companies, universities, and community organizations nationwide.
Scott has worked for notable brands such as Disney Parks and Resorts, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Wynn/Encore Las Vegas, Gaylord Hotels and Resorts, Starwood Hotels and Resorts, and Disney Vacation Club.
He graduated with honors from Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida, earning a bachelor's degree in business administration. Later, Scott earned a master's degree in management in hospitality from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
Scott is the author of three books, "Ballgames to Boardrooms," "Lead with Hospitality," and "Give Hospitality," as well as the Lead with Hospitality Leadership Development Series of live learning experiences and curriculum for leaders, along with corresponding learning experiences for frontline teams, entitled, "Delivering Memorable Hospitality."

Taylor Scott Speaking Topics
The Leadership Advantage Your Competitors Cannot Replicate
Most leaders are promoted because of technical excellence. Yet the success of every organization is determined by how people feel under their leadership.
When employees feel disconnected, unseen, unsupported, or uninspired, performance fades. Trust erodes. Engagement drops. Turnover rises.
The Lead With Hospitality keynote delivers the human-centered leadership system that reverses these patterns and creates cultures where people feel valued, motivated, and emotionally connected to both their leaders and their work.
Grounded in Taylor Scott’s real-world leadership experience with iconic hospitality brands such as Disney, Wynn Resorts, and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, and inspired by the principles in his best-selling book “Lead with Hospitality”, this keynote explores the six emotional drivers that shape performance: Connection, Self Mastery, Serving, Engaging, Coaching, and Inspiring.
Your leaders will learn how to create the feelings that cause people to trust more, perform better, stay longer, and pursue excellence with genuine enthusiasm.
This keynote is not theory. It is a proven roadmap for transforming culture through intentional human connection.
IDEAL FOR ORGANIZATIONS THAT WANT TO:
- Strengthen engagement, morale, and motivation
- Develop emotionally intelligent leaders who are consistent, steady, and trusted
- Reduce turnover by creating environments where people feel supported and appreciated
- Improve communication and rebuild trust during seasons of change
- Elevate coaching ability to grow internal talent
- Create a culture where people bring energy, effort, creativity, and ideas
Today’s organizations are more diverse, more distributed, and more overwhelmed than ever before. Many teams are experiencing division, burnout, disengagement, and emotional fatigue. People feel disconnected from each other, from their leaders, and sometimes even from themselves.
The Give Hospitality keynote offers a hopeful, human-centered solution that speaks to the heart of every leader. Inspired by Taylor Scott’s emotionally captivating story in his book “Give Hospitality”, this keynote reveals the simple truth behind extraordinary leadership. Great leaders are not great because of their leadershipness. They are great because of their humanness.
Through the Five GIVE Virtues, leaders learn how generosity, compassion, and genuine care rebuild unity, elevate culture, and transform the emotional experience of work. This keynote reminds audiences that we are more alike than we are different and that generosity is the path to belonging, connection, and renewed purpose.
This message resonates equally with corporate leaders, school administrators, teachers, nonprofit teams, community leaders, and everyday people who want to make a difference.
IDEAL FOR ORGANIZATIONS THAT WANT TO:
- Heal division and rebuild trust across diverse or multigenerational teams
- Strengthen emotional safety and create workplaces where people feel seen and valued
- Increase morale, unity, and purpose in seasons of change or fatigue
- Reduce conflict, tension, and guardedness by elevating empathy and kindness
- Inspire leaders to communicate with more compassion, humility, and intention
- Replace transactional culture with human-centered leadership that brings out the best in people
Many organizations today are struggling with momentum, motivation, and morale. Teams feel tired. Leaders feel stretched. People are going through the motions, disconnected from purpose and from the pride they once felt in their work. The daily grind has replaced joy. Pressure has replaced passion.
The Ballgames to Boardrooms keynote reconnects people to the timeless truths they learned from the coaches who pushed, encouraged, challenged, and believed in them. These coaching principles were practical, inspiring, and powerful on the field, and they are just as powerful in the workplace.
Drawing from the Five Transferable Truths in Taylor Scott’s book “Ballgames to Boardrooms,” this keynote shows leaders and teams how to rebuild discipline, resilience, collaboration, and fun by applying the same values that fueled their best performances in sports. It reminds audiences that better leadership often begins with returning to the principles that shaped their work ethic, teamwork, and character in competitive environments . This message inspires emerging leaders, seasoned executives, frontline employees, and any team searching for renewed energy, connection, and performance.
