A STUNTMAN’S GUIDE TO STAYING CALM
How to stay grounded when the stakes are sky high
Scott Hammell went from being afraid of heights to setting three Guinness World Records for high-altitude stunts—one of them just three weeks after his final high school exam. From escaping straitjackets suspended hundreds of feet in the air to confronting life’s most unpredictable challenges, Scott has built his career on one crucial skill: staying calm when the pressure is at its peak.
In “A Stuntman’s Guide to Staying Calm,” Scott takes audiences behind the scenes of his record-breaking performances to uncover the tools that help him stay grounded—physically, mentally, and emotionally—when the stakes are sky high. Through gripping stories, stunning stunt footage, and interactive demonstrations, he shows how anyone can transform fear into focus and anxiety into action.
Fear, Scott reminds us, isn’t an enemy to concur—it’s a signal to decode. His session combines elements of psychology, performance, and illusion to demonstrate how our attention determines our results. Attendees learn simple, actionable techniques to reframe fear, maintain focus, and tackle ambitious goals one manageable step at a time—skills that apply equally in business, education, sports, and everyday life.
Scott also shares his personal story of resilience: surviving a stroke in his 30s and living with a rare medical condition that causes sporadic blindness. The same mental frameworks that helped him set world records now help him navigate uncertainty, adapt to change, and thrive in the unknown.
Whether you’re leading a team through change, preparing for a big presentation, or simply trying to perform your best when the pressure’s on, Scott’s message resonates: when we understand our fears, we don’t have to be ruled by them. We can use them—to stay grounded, focused, and calm, no matter how high the stakes rise.
