Overview
Scott D. Stufflebeam has more than 20 years of leadership experience within a multi-state family title insurance business. Like all family businesses, Scott became involved in it at a very young age. Beginning with custodial duties at age 12, he soon learned the duties of posting, searching, and examining real estate records by age 16. He continued working in the family business while attending college at BYU. He graduated with a finance degree in 1978 from the University of Idaho. He attended law school at the University of Idaho, graduating in 1981. He was accepted into the Idaho bar in 1981. Although he never left the title insurance business, he spent time practicing law and eventual spent time specializing in real estate, corporate, and human resources as these were the needs of the family business.
After college, he was promoted to various management opportunities within the business. Later, as the president of the business, he brought the business into the 21st century by establishing the necessary vision, mission, goals, strategies, policies and procedures. He created the company’s first HR and IT departments. He continued to expand the business through acquisition of additional offices, and the establishment of new corollary businesses. He created new hiring policies and through them built and coached an effective executive team. As an effective leader, his corporate strategy, creative and operational strengths, and team building allowed the company to be more effective and increase profitability.
Scott left the family business in 2000, in order to pursue a doctoral degree in organizational leadership and work in the consulting field. It was while pursuing the doctoral degree that he correlated his business experience and leadership theory. He determined that leadership education was necessary for all businesses to reach the next level of success.
One of Scott’s greatest passions is coaching to help others to succeed. He began coaching youth soccer in 1981. He obtained his “C” license in 1996. He was hired as the high school varsity girls coach in 2000, the same year it became a recognized high school sport. As a coach of young adults, he realized that coaching was the perfect tool for developing future leaders.
It was this realization, together with his leadership studies, that led him to join Focal Point International as a master franchisee. It was Focal Point’s connection to Brian Tracy and his proven coaching methodology that fully implements leadership theory that Scott realized was the perfect opportunity to help business owners and executives get to the next level. The Focal Point franchise is the ideal vehicle to allow Brian Tracy’s coaching methodology to get to small and medium business owners, professionals, and other business executives.
Scott has been active in leadership capacities within various community and state service organizations. He is currently a member of Kiwanis International, having achieved the distinction of being the Utah-Idaho Lieutenant Governor. He currently serves as vice president on the Idaho Youth Soccer Association.
Scott was born in Montana and raised in Idaho. He has been married to Janet for 29 years. They have four children – Rebecca, Brian, Melanie, and Jennifer. Scott has had the privilege of coaching all four of his children in the sport of soccer. They currently have one granddaughter, Emily, and a second one due in December.
