MentorLoft founder Pam Scott has spent almost 20 years coaching CEOs and execs of companies ranging from a 2-man firm to coaching the CEO and executive team of a $50 million firm.
She’s often heard the old refrain: This would be a great business if we didn’t have to deal with the people. But you do.
And that’s what she coaches execs on: communication, managing and leading others, business smarts, emotional intelligence and more.
In 2015 Pam recognized an inevitable truth. With the Boomers retiring en masse, the future of businesses rests in the hands of untrained and underprepared young professionals.
Traditionally, the job of training and mentoring young employees lay with businesses. These days, however, most managers are too busy to do the training they know they need to do.
That’s why Pam expanded the business beyond the C suite. Pam continues to coach CEOs and execs. And she’s put together a team of top-notch coaches to help the NextGen leaders and the Young Pros. Each MentorLoft coach is certified and has at least 10 years of experience working in businesses.
Thus, MentorLoft was born.
Pam now runs MentorLoft with the idea of empowering the next generation of leaders. She brings the knowledge of CEOs, the expertise of a communications master, and the real, raw, authentic feedback of a personal advocate.
Pam’s own career path has been a wild one but always with a mix of her passions and her skills. Her first career was as a newspaper editor, mostly in news at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. While at the AJC, she spent three years as an editor in the sports department, working with 42 men. Two of those years, the Associated Press named the AJC the Best Sports Section in the country.
Following her time working in the press during the heyday of the ’70s and ’80s, Pam shifted to writing and editing for the more staid General Accounting Office (now the Government Accountability Office). GAO, known as the congressional watchdog, investigates for fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement of government funds. Pam worked on a wide range of projects, including missile programs, veterans’ issues, and turning high-level nuclear waste into glass rods for underground storage.
All that while starting her own company, raising two kids, and earning her Master’s in Education and Human Development from The George Washington University online–before online was cool.
Pam has spent countless hours listening to CEOs and execs talk about their businesses. And about how business would be great if you didn’t have to deal with people.
But you do.
Thus her tagline: Numbers may drive the business, but people drive the numbers.®
