Kevin Lawrence
Growth Advisor
CEOs typically place their first call to Coach Kevin with a crisis to solve. They stay because of his business acumen and no-holds-barred, tell-it-like-it-is style.
Kevin’s career spans over 25 years, across a dozen countries and four continents. He’s worked with hundreds of CEOs and executives, helping them to break through business challenges, grow their companies and find personal success along the way.
These experiences inspired Kevin’s book, Your Oxygen Mask First, in which he reveals the 17 habits every leader must know to transcend the perils of success, and achieve even more.
Kevin was given the designation of Coach Emeritus with Gazelles—a rare distinction. He is a key contributor to Scaling Up (Mastering the Rockefeller Habits 2.0).
Based in Vancouver, Canada, Kevin can often be found tearing up the racetrack, exploring a new city, or adventuring in the outdoors with inspiring people and his two amazing kids, Brayden and Ashley.
Testimonials
I met Kevin at a point in my business when we were experiencing tremendous growth, and we were all rowing in different directions. My inability to translate the strategic plan to all employees was preventing us from achieving full potential as a business and as individual contributors. Kevin has helped us transform how we look at and manage our business with practical and simple steps that has enthusiastically involved more people in the business than ever. He has demonstrated his natural ability to work and engage all levels of employees and has held us accountable to ourselves and each other. Thanks Kevin! Angela Santiago

I have been working with Kevin since 2003. Kevin has helped me move through the asteroid belt of my life. He stopped me from selling my company for $1.00 to go to sell T-shirts on the beach and encouraged me to keep my business, setting it up the way I wanted, allowing me to grow it and leverage it to do good in the world. I now have the freedom that all entrepreneurs dream of, and I am able to spend quality time with my family and work only on things I enjoy and that bring great meaning to my life. I owe everything to Kevin.Nigel Bennett

I was fortunate that my path crossed with Coach Kevin more than thirteen years ago. I was in a dark place in my life despite the fact that everything appeared to be all right on the surface. My business was doing very well, but my success was not bringing me as much joy and satisfaction, if any, as I thought it would. Kevin helped me discover that I needed to take care of myself first, follow my passions, and get rid of my demons by facing them head on. It hasn’t happened overnight, and it is an ongoing process, but it’s one that I embrace. I am able to use Kevin’s feedback, tools, and techniques as a compass to make the best possible decisions to stay on course in my business and in my life. I approach this journey with gratitude, excitement, passion, and a hunger for what’s to come. I no longer measure my wealth in dollars and cents. Instead, I now measure it by the amount of precious time I am able to spend with my loved ones, making memories that are absolutely priceless!Vince D’Agostino

We were excited to invite Kevin to speak at our Annual Gala Dinner this year, but we had no idea how much his message would resonate and capture our attendees’ attention. Over the years we have hosted a wide variety of speakers, but no one has ever been able to grab the attention and engage with the over 200 people in attendance the way he did. Each person who left that night had a new set of tools for understanding of how to value time and mental health, which in the Rail industry isn’t a frequent conversation. Thank you so much Kevin!Sylvia Newell
President, Canadian Association of Railway Suppliers
Kevin is relatable and real, and really understands us, as entrepreneurs. A great presenting presence and the perfect speaker for our retreat, he made the topic of mental health much easier to speak about. Because of that, many members felt that it was easier to share their most personal struggles, and some have already put his actionable material into place. I highly recommend Kevin. He went out of his way to make sure we got as much value as possible from the event. The process to book him was incredibly easy and the communication with his team, excellent. I really appreciate you, Kevin. Thanks for everything.Michael Shaw

Kevin’s contribution to the CEO Book Club on his book “Your Oxygen Mask First” made the conversation extremely insightful. The combination of many years of experience working with CEOs with his naturally engaging and energetic style made this month’s session one of the best learning experiences of the year.Xavier Lederer
