46. The Builder’s Journey: Building Yourself So That You Can Build Others, with Chet Scott

Chet Scott and his team at BUILT TO LEAD are leadership and development coaches for some of the most influential leaders across the City of Columbus and abroad. Chet's journey started when he left CompuServe after 20 years and started working with influential leaders; he discovered his life's opus and began his builder's journey.

His content, style, writing, and approach to leadership is real, raw, and direct. And in his own words, “he's a friend to a few and a truth teller to many with a true love for the work he does.” Chet is also my builder and has been my coach for close to 15 years now, and he has been incredibly influential in my work, my life, and how Gravity came to be what it is today.

At BUILT TO LEAD, their goal is in the name: they’re builders. They build individuals, teams, and leaders with the aim of oneness — because oneness is the heart of high performance, whether that be for you in your individual life, or you in your company, or you in your family.
