Threshold Guide
We are most certainly standing at a threshold.
The scale of societal change ahead of us is such that we genuinely do not know what life will look like in 20 years’ time. It is quite likely that even within a 5 year horizon we will be thrown mightily off balance. All of our careers are all going to take a major swerve, even for those that remain in gainful employment. Industries will evolve or disappear. The advice we give our children will age faster than we can speak it.
How are we meant to prepare ourselves, or them, for such vast unknowns?
When faced with such uncertainty and ambiguity in the future, it makes no sense to try to control external forces. Any resistance to this level of sweeping change will only have you blown to the side. What remains within our control is the quality of our inner ground - our capacity for stability, adaptability, agility - ready to meet whatever comes face on. Much like is being manifested by the incredible athletes we are watching on our screens in Italy.
I often call this inward focus our inner compass - becoming clearer about our values and strengths, deepening self-awareness, discovering our gifts, and learning to trust our intuition. This is the path of higher consciousness, where we stop struggling and operate more at ease, and in flow with nature.
A threshold guide helps others strengthen their inner compass for the road ahead. I have come to understand that the sum of my life's experiences have prepared me for precisely this role of a threshold guide.
1-1 COACHING
Through my experiences as an Olympic athlete and High-Performance Director I have brought with me the tools and approaches that help elite athletes face pressure with courage and integrity, transforming their lives both in and out of sport. In my coaching work since, I have deepened and expanded my understanding of human potential and how to aim there.
.
Through 1-1 and group coaching, I help clients develop the mindset, practices and foundational philosophy to navigate transitions, connect more closely with their path, live a values-led life, and become truly at home in themselves.
My coaching is rigorous, challenging and deeply personal. My approach draws on performance psychology, values work, and contemplative practices. I tend to work with ambitious leaders and performers across business, academia, and sport - helping them connect better to themselves, those around them, and a higher purpose to achieve the extraordinary.
I am an accredited Senior Practitioner Coach/Mentor and Coach Supervisor with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.

"I have had Laurence as an external coach for three years in my work at Deloitte. He has been a trusted sparring partner with whom I have been able to discuss both leadership-related and personal topics. Over time, he has also become a close counsel who knows me and my professional journey well. I would recommend Laurence to anyone who wants a candid, honest and competent coach."
