Meet Dr. Lawrence: The Leadership Fixer with Military Precision and Coaching Fire
Dr. Lawrence Henderson isn’t your typical coach—he’s the real deal.
A former U.S. Army Officer turned Executive Coach, speaker, and CEO of BOSS, LLC, Lawrence helps leaders get unstuck and start leading with clarity, courage, and purpose.
With 20+ years of experience, a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership, and PCC certification, he’s guided Fortune 500s, federal agencies, and top-tier brands like the FDA, Clorox, and the U.S. Navy through real transformation. At BOSS, he delivers strategic coaching and training that closes the gap between potential and execution.
He’s the one organizations call when they need to boost executive presence, build emotionally intelligent teams, and navigate culture shifts that actually stick. His programs go beyond theory—everything is grounded in data, driven by mission, and built to last.
As an Executive Coach with Black In HR, TEDx speaker, and Morehouse College professor, Lawrence is a trusted voice in modern leadership. Whether he’s in the boardroom or the classroom, he shows up with the same focus: help people lead with purpose, integrity, and vision.
Looking to evolve your leadership or build a team that leads with intention? Dr. Lawrence makes it happen.
