Speaker Announcement – The Scary Guy

The Scary Guy. He’s been called many names, by many people – although you might wonder why the list includes those such as ‘Agent For Change,’ ‘Urban Dalai Lama,’ ‘Warrior For Peace’ and ‘The Mind-Waker.’

In the last decade on the road, The Scary Guy has worked with schools, police forces, the military, and a host of communities and corporate organizations. Through his live performances and across his active online networks, he’s reportedly helped over 10 million people around the world ‘achieve personal peace and triumph in their lifetime.’

The Scary Guy – his legal name, changed fifteen years ago – has dedicated his life to teaching others his powerful, solution-based theories and concepts on human behaviour and communication; a code that he’s personally developed and lives by today. With his face fully tattooed, often describing himself as the worlds’ only living social experiment, Scary’s research is based on having to learn how to redefine his own life, in order to stop living as a victim of other peoples’ words and actions. All this, whilst maintaining his integrity and learning how to love and understand all people.

Scary’s ideas address the ‘socially negative and damaging behaviours that we frequently experience within human communication.’

Hear from the man himself:

The impact of name-calling, harassment, intimidation and bullying is residual. It is highly toxic and insidiously detrimental to educational achievement, emotional and physical health, success in family structure, and personal and work relationships – a negatively charged energy that festers at the heart of a person’s life. There are a multitude of ‘anti-bullying’ programmes and messages, which raise plenty of awareness of the problem, but offer few real solutions for what to actually do in the moment and in the heat of the battle.

The success of Scary’s work is based on providing a ‘highly effective cognitive framework’ for people to use when they are faced with trouble. Scary has defined steps for exactly what to do with negative words and actions that people can get from others, and shows individuals how to become fully responsible for their own words and actions. He teaches ‘the skills that will underpin all that they do, and all that they become in their life, fully able to process the negativity that others may produce – yet not become it, or live with it as a victim of it in any way.’

The Scary Guy’s mission is ‘the total elimination of hate, violence and prejudice worldwide.’
