About
Adam Scott
Everyone thought I was crazy.
I had 17 years in IT under my belt.
A solid reputation. A stable career.
But inside, I was burned out.
I'd lost my dad to illness.
My marriage had ended.
And even though I was "moving up" in my career, I felt like I was running on autopilot - showing up every day, but not really living.
I'd already made my break into Cyber Security years earlier - and even then, I'd been told I'd have to take a big pay cut to get in.
Instead, I landed my first cyber role with a 40% pay rise, proving that with the right strategy, anything is possible.
But by 2016, the stress and pace of IT had caught up with me.
And when COVID hit,
I realized something I couldn't ignore:
If I didn't make a drastic change now, I'd wake up in ten years wondering where my life had gone.
So I decided to bet on myself again. I rebuilt my energy, sharpened my positioning, and accelerated my career - landing a $350k+ salary and earning the CEO award from one of Australia's most reputable financial institutions.
Not because I got "lucky."
Not because I stacked up more certifications.
But because I learned how to position myself so decision-makers saw me as the obvious choice.
Now, that's exactly what I help other IT professionals do.
