🎯 Helping high-performing professionals lead with clarity, confidence & purpose. Purpose.

Hi, I’m Laurence Loxam — Executive Coach, Business Consultant, and Strategic Advisor to high-achieving professionals who want more than just success. They want clarity. Performance that lasts. If you’re a doctor, lawyer, senior exec, or business owner, you know how demanding leadership can be. You’re smart and driven — but success brings complexity. And sometimes, it’s hard to see the way forward. That’s where I come in. With over 30 years of experience across retail, construction, and agriculture, I’ve led at senior levels and understand the realities of pressure and performance. My work spans strategic planning, marketing, negotiation, business growth, and general management — and I bring deep insight into the worlds of law and healthcare too. Now, I work with leaders like you to think clearer, lead better, and live more fully. Through bespoke coaching and strategic consultancy, I help you get unstuck, sharpen your thinking, and move powerfully toward what’s next.

I've managed a $400 million business and finished an Ironman.
Neither made me particularly enthusiastic about putting my feet up.

But I've learnt something about performance that I wish I'd appreciated much earlier.
We often wait until we're exhausted, overwhelmed or physically unable to continue before giving ourselves permission to stop.

In October 2016, a cycling accident made that decision for me. What followed was a period of recovery, then arguably my strongest cycling year.

Today, as an executive coach, I regularly see successful professionals treating time out as something they'll consider when everything else is done.
But everything else is rarely done.

Perhaps we should schedule recovery with the same discipline we schedule our commitments.

When did you last deliberately take time out?

I once insisted I could cycle home after being knocked unconscious.
Ten years later, my damaged hand still reminds me why that wasn't sensible.

In October 2016, a cycling accident forced me to stop after one of my strongest seasons. I recovered deliberately, and 2017 became arguably my best cycling year.

After three decades in commercial leadership, managing a £350 million business and pushing my limits in endurance sport, I've come to appreciate something important.
High performance isn't sustained by effort alone.

Through The Elevation Modelâ„¢, I help successful professionals recognise when their relentless drive may be working against them.

Sometimes stepping back protects the progress we've worked so hard to achieve.

An ambulance wasn't on my training schedule. Neither was the enforced break that followed.

In October 2016, a cycling accident left me with cracked ribs, concussion and permanent damage to my hand.

For a while, pushing harder simply wasn't an option.

Instead, I focused on recovery, nutrition and gradually rebuilding my strength.

In 2017, I produced arguably my strongest cycling performances ever.

I can't claim the break caused that improvement, but it changed how I think about sustainable performance.

Today, through executive coaching, I see ambitious professionals making time for every deadline except their own recovery.

Here's something worth considering.

Schedule time to rest, reflect and recharge before circumstances make that decision for you.

When is your next deliberate pause?

I once insisted I could cycle home after being knocked unconscious.
The people who called the ambulance had rather better judgement than I did.

That was October 2016. I'd spent a fantastic cycling season pushing harder, with little thought about easing off.

The accident made that decision for me.

I focused on recovery, nutrition and rebuilding my strength. In 2017, I produced arguably my strongest cycling performances ever.

After decades of commercial leadership and endurance sport, I've learnt that sustained performance isn't simply about how hard we push.

Yet I still see accomplished doctors, lawyers and CEOs treating recovery as something they'll get around to eventually.

Why wait until you're forced to stop?

I didn't buy my scariest Halloween mask.
I collected it on a Yorkshire road in October 2016.

Apologies for the photograph, but it is Halloween!

I'd enjoyed a fantastic cycling season and, rather than easing off, I kept pushing.
This time ten years ago, I was less than three miles from home, I took a corner too fast. The result? Cracked ribs, concussion, some road rash & permanent damage to my hand.
I'd even been knocked unconscious, although I didn't realise it. I still insisted I could cycle home!

But something unexpected followed.
I accepted the enforced rest, focused on recovery, & returned in 2017 to produce arguably my strongest cycling performances ever. I would never have guessed that.

I've spent decades pushing limits in business and endurance sport. I've learnt that knowing when to stop can demand just as much discipline as knowing how to keep going.

Sometimes stepping back is what allows us to move forward.

What did you do for Halloween?

Ps I won't be eating tarmac again!

I can leave a lecture having learned something valuable and still be disappointed in myself.
Usually because there was another question I should have asked.

At 50, curiosity remains one of the things I value most.

After 30 years in leadership, I've learned that experience can make us quicker to reach conclusions, but not necessarily better at exploring alternatives.

That's something I bring into executive coaching every day.

Not just asking questions, but genuinely wanting to understand what makes people think, behave and decide as they do.

And knowing when that understanding needs to become action.

Have you become more curious with age?

When I led a team of 120, I sometimes asked the question everyone thought was obvious.
Today, I coach accomplished people who rarely get the time to question themselves.

There's a cost to always being the person expected to know.
Decisions pile up, familiar approaches take over,
and opportunities to explore different
perspectives disappear.

At 50, curiosity isn't something I've outgrown. It's become one of the most important parts of my executive coaching work. I listen for assumptions, what's left unsaid,
and the questions someone hasn't given themselves permission to ask.

Through The Elevation Modelâ„¢, we turn that exploration into greater awareness, clearer choices and meaningful action. Because my job isn't to provide the answers.
It's to help uncover better questions.

What haven't you questioned lately?

I've been accountable for a $400m, plus P&L business.That didn't mean I always had the best answer in the room.When you'...

I've been accountable for a $400m, plus P&L business.
That didn't mean I always had the best answer in the room.

When you're making decisions at that scale, people expect conviction.
And you need it. But conviction without challenge can become expensive.

Some of the most valuable conversations aren't with people who agree with us.
They're with those who spot something we've missed, question our assumptions or see a risk from another perspective.

Today, as an executive coach,
I bring that understanding into conversations with CEOs, doctors, lawyers and founders.
My role isn't to undermine their experience. It's to help them recognise when another perspective could change everything.

Who challenges your thinking?

I've deliberately asked questions in large meetings that others might consider silly.Not because I lacked experience, bu...

I've deliberately asked questions in large meetings that others might consider silly.
Not because I lacked experience, but because I wanted others to feel comfortable asking theirs.

After 30 years in leadership,
I've seen how quickly curiosity disappears when people fear appearing uninformed.

And seniority doesn't make us immune.
CEOs, doctors, lawyers and founders can become so busy making decisions that they rarely question their own thinking. That's something I explore through executive coaching.

Not by supplying answers, but by creating space to challenge assumptions,
uncover blind spots and rediscover different perspectives.

Because even the most experienced leaders have more to discover.

Is there ever a silly question?

In the late 90s, I questioned my instincts against the management theories I was studying. Today, I challenge CEOs, doc...

In the late 90s, I questioned my instincts against the management theories I was studying. Today, I challenge CEOs, doctors & lawyers to examine what they believe they know.

After 30 years in leadership and business, I've seen how confidence can quietly become certainty. Experience is invaluable. But it can also tempt us to stop looking for
evidence that challenges our assumptions.

I've changed my mind on decisions I once felt strongly about. Not because I lacked conviction, but because I stayed curious enough to investigate further.

In coaching, I don't need clients to agree with me....
I need them to be willing to question themselves.

When did you last change your mind?
