Make a Shift

Kevin Lawrence is known for deliv­er­ing provoca­tive, high-ener­gy keynotes that chal­lenge lead­ers to think dif­fer­ent­ly, act bold­ly, and lead with greater clar­i­ty and resilience. 

Whether address­ing per­son­al growth, team dynam­ics, or growth strat­e­gy, Kevin brings a unique blend of insight, humour, and hard-earned wis­dom that leaves audi­ences inspired and equipped to grow – both as peo­ple and as lead­ers. As a trust­ed advi­sor and coach to CEOs and exec­u­tive teams around the world, Kevin draws from decades at the front lines of lead­er­ship. His keynotes reflect the real chal­lenges growth com­pa­nies face – from the per­son­al toll of lead­er­ship, to the strate­gic com­plex­i­ty of scale, to the dis­ci­pline required to build endur­ing businesses.

Topics

Let’s Talk about Growth

Every talk is cus­tom-tai­lored to the audi­ence – mix­ing prac­ti­cal tools with real-world sto­ries, tough truths, and the occa­sion­al laugh. Because when lead­ers are engaged and think­ing clear­ly, growth gets a whole lot sim­pler. Fre­quent top­ics include:

  • Leading through complexity

    How to scale without losing your mind. As your company grows, the number of decisions, people problems, and competing priorities can overwhelm even the most capable leaders. Learn how to cut through the noise by focusing relentlessly on opportunities while managing problems efficiently, helping you maintain strategic clarity when everything feels chaotic. 

  • The human side of growth

    Building a company tests every part of you. The CEOs who thrive aren’t tougher—they’re smarter. They build resilience to stay sharp under pressure, make hard calls with confidence, and keep their energy strong. This is about practical tools to stay grounded, manage stress, and avoid burnout.

  • From stuck to scaling

    Aligning teams and strategy to unlock the next level. When growth stalls, it's rarely because of market conditions or lack of opportunity—it's because teams aren't aligned around a clear, simple strategy they can execute with precision. Kevin shows you how to create razor-sharp focus by identifying the few moves that will truly drive growth, then aligning every person and resource behind those priorities.

  • Creating a culture of accountability and clarity – without bureaucracy

    The strongest companies perform through clear expectations and reliable follow-through—not endless meetings or red tape. Build a culture where people take ownership, deliver results, and solve problems proactively because they know what’s expected and have the tools to succeed. Accountability becomes empowering, not constraining.
