About Scott McCulloch

Our professional lives have gotten more complex and chaotic, and many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed, burdened with never ending to-do lists, or even wondering “how did I end up here?” In Transformational Development work, the emphasis is on deepening self-awareness, enhancing resilience, and becoming more mindful and fully present. I help focus people on their “being” so they can thrive more in their “doing.” My passion is supporting my clients in discovering who they really want to be, and exploring how best to get there. Sometimes the work focuses on getting un-stuck, and other times it’s about tapping into one’s inherent wisdom. It\'s always about developing greater clarity, harnessing inner resources, and moving forward. I am an explorer of the human spirit, embracing creative ways to help others live with authenticity and confidence. My own path started with undergraduate work in Philosophy, through several years in banking client management, followed by business school and on to a doctorate in Psychology. I took roads less traveled by living in Switzerland to hone my French and spending time in Costa Rica to learn Spanish and volunteer in the national parks system. All of it is a testament to my enthusiasm for exploration, embracing what actually works, and finding what really matters. Tapintu Insights™ is a process I created leveraging a unique assessment technique called the Projective Differential,™ which helps clients tap into deeper levels of awareness around challenges or decisions. Used in a team setting, it can also improve team dynamics, alignment and effectiveness. In addition to working with clients through my own company, Tapintu, I’ve also been part of the Trimergence team for more than 20 years. As a leader in leadership development and team and culture transformation, the mission of Trimergence is in complete alignment with what I do with individuals and smaller organizations through Tapintu. My formal education includes a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology from Sofia University, an MBA from Ivey Business School at Western University and a BA in Philosophy from the University of Toronto.
