Brooks Scott is a motorcycle-riding, classical music-listening, poet-admiring Executive Coach. He percolates connections and works with organizations to facilitate uncomfortable conversations around unconscious bias.

Brooks was an English teacher turned NJ State Trooper who led Chris Christie’s protection team. He then left the East coast to head up the Executive Protection team at Facebook for Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. At Facebook, he travelled the world and had a literal backseat to everything happening there. But it was upon stumbling into some executive coaching courses that he knew he had found his calling.

Our conversation spans the gamut from how to make peace with risks in your life and career, to the power of asking the right questions, to vulnerability, to the current state of race relations in this country—and whether you should be talking about it at work.
