Performance

    CHIEF E-COMMERCE OFFICER

​​​​​​​​​

I love helping individuals and organizations to achieve growth and success.

My backgrounds as Chief E-Commerce Officer for Wachovia and Chaired Law Professor at Duke University merge seamlessly with my passion for helping people tap into their full potential. With my executive coaching services
I provide you with the tools and strategies needed to overcome obstacles, enhance your skills and reach new levels of achievement.

I firmly believe that coaching can be a powerful catalyst for professional growth and I recognize that each person's journey is unique. I am dedicated to providing a safe, confidential, independent, and supportive environment where we can explore your specific goals, and work together on areas of improvement. By offering customized and confidential guidance, insights, and practical strategies, I help clients navigate challenges, overcome self-limiting beliefs, and develop the necessary skills to thrive in a diverse array of fields and industries.

Together, let's embark on a journey of empowerment, growth, and unparalleled success.

​​

My Coaching Ethos 

​​As someone with many years of senior leadership experience in both start-ups and
multi-national organizations I can anticipate challenges, and strategize the best path forward. My ability to pause, reflect, and consult with trusted colleagues—supervisors, peer coaches, mentors—enables me to respond to leaders with both speed and
sound judgment.

​​

A good coach combines an understanding of the client's special talents and then works to build a trusting relationship as a mentor, motivator and thinking partner which is why much of the work happens before the session starts. I review notes, observe changes in behavior and mindset, integrate insights from assessments and stakeholder conversations, and consider the full context of each client’s situation and goals. This preparation is done with sensitivity, aligned to personal schedules and the urgency of a client’s decisions, ensuring every interaction is meaningful and timely.​

Where it adds value, I can share models and tools either during or between sessions to further your thinking on the things which matter most to you.​​ This is the essence of my work, and I cannot imagine a more fulfilling profession.​

​​​​My coaching & facilitation style is friendly, approachable and human, educational with long-term vision, humor with sensitivity, empathetic, logical, & pragmatic.

& Philosophy

"We all have in our lives those rare people with whom we will try ideas, check how far they go, and decide how we share these ideas, whether our nation can handle them, embrace them, act of them. For me that is Lawrence."​​ 

Sarah Bloom Raskin, Former Fed Board, Deputy Treasury Secretary and Professor of Law

Lawrence Baxter Executive Coach

I offer a complimentary, no-obligation call for anyone interested in working with me. In this session, we can clarify your challenges and opportunities, explore potential options, and tailor the best steps forward. The discovery session isn't a coaching session as such, but it should give you a good idea of what coaching with me will be like. It is typical that during this meeting we'll identify what you would most like
to focus on over the time we're working together, but rest assured, you can bring 'live issues' to each coaching session so that you get the most
from the experience.

​​

Feel free to get in touch, and we can find a time
that works for you!
