Colors of Communication

Scott Abel, Leadership and Innovation Manager, Texas Health and Human Services Commission

Named Leadership and Innovation Manager with oversight of the HHS Leadership Development Program in May 2018, Scott is a seasoned veteran of public service, having served in various state government leadership positions for more than fifteen years. Scott speaks frequently to State agencies, organizations, and non-profits on leadership, communication, innovation, and generational differences in the workplace.

Scott has a bachelor’s degree and a law degree from Texas Wesleyan University, but is a rabid, life-long fan of the TCU Horned Frogs. He enjoys exotic coffee from around the world, and lives in the suburbs of Austin with his wife and two daughters - who assist him in his search for the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter.
