CSP®
Certified Speaking Professional — fewer than 700 worldwide

15 years in — and the version of success I’m chasing has changed.

Scott Cooksey speaking to a group

In 2024, I earned my Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation — a credential held by fewer than 700 people worldwide.

It is remarkable to think I have been speaking professionally, leading workshops, conducting strategy sessions, and advising business people as an executive coach for over 15 years.

The biggest shift? It used to be that success was a full calendar. For years, I was gone over 100 nights a year — and that felt important. Today, with Amelia entering high school, there are only a few years left before she moves out and we become empty nesters… and I don’t want to miss what these years have in store.

“I now find success as working with the right clients, with meaningful results — while also being present as a husband and father.”

The best part is that I now see how possible it is to do both.

Here’s where I’d love your help

My ask is two-fold

01
An introduction to a speaking audience

If you know of an organization within a few hours of Tulsa, OK — or some key targeted markets where I already have clients:

  • North Texas (DFW metroplex)
  • Houston,
  • Denver,
  • Kansas City,
  • Wichita
  • NW Arkansas or Little Rock

Frankly, anywhere groups of business leaders bring in presenters for talks and workshops, I’d love an introduction. That’s it!

Think Chambers of Commerce, conferences, industry trade groups and associations, civic organizations, and business-focused networks.

02
A company outgrowing its leadership bench

I specialize in working with organizations whose business growth has outpaced their internal leadership capacity.

Often times small to mid-sized companies are in the sweet spot.  That said, my experience includes working with large, corporate clients as well.

[Truthfully, they often have the very same challenges as the small to medium sized companies, only the context is different…but you dont’ need to worry about that part.]

Most businesses are great at “doing what they do,” but scaling their success gets bottlenecked due to missing leadership capabilities. I help them fix that and get back on track.

Most importantly,  if I’m not the right fit, I’ll connect them with my extensive network of vetted professionals.

My goal through 2027

24
speaking engagements booked
across Tulsa, DFW, Houston, Denver, Kansas City & Arkansas
3–5
companies visited with, every month
to explore closing their leadership gap

Who I serve best

Businesses that have grown fast — and whose leadership capacity hasn’t caught up. They’re excellent at “doing what they do,” but scaling that success is bottlenecked by gaps in leadership skill, structure, or bandwidth. That’s the gap I close.

Connect, follow, and share with your network

A mix of professional and personal — I’d love to stay in touch.
