Scott Graham's Biography

After receiving two undergraduate degrees from the University of South Florida, I hiked the Appalachian Trail by myself then then moved to New England to work as Therapist and Outward Bound Instructor.

Working with Outward Bound and other wilderness / adventure schools was great and it was here that I honed my abilities to help people tap into more then they thought they had. It was here that I really learned to coach.

After a few years of working wilderness courses from Florida-to-Oregon I entered graduate school where I earned a degree in Management. Along the way I achieved certification and faculty status with the William Glasser Institute. Choice Theory helps people identify what they really want and develop more effective ways to get it and is the primary model I use in coaching.

I returned to Outward Bound for a short time as the Assistant Program Director of an Urban Center in Boston with the focus of developing therapeutic health services. I eventually returned to the country to work in Vermont and started working in a program through the Vermont Department of Corrections, called ISAP, and was eventually promoted to Program Director. While working in ISAP, I was the architect of a consistent treatment design which I implemented statewide at nine sites.

Along the way I started 2 businesses: ClinicalSupervision.biz, LLC and Willoughby Forest, LLC.

I am committed to common sense conservation (I am a former West Fairlee Conservation Commissioner. My partner and I steward 110 acres of Vermont forestland (Tree Farm #1464) developing agri-forest products like ginseng, in addition to timber. I volunteer with the West Fairlee Fire Department, and serve my community as elected Town Lister and Constable. In my spare time I teach at the Community College of Vermont.
