About Lawrence

Lawrence Mitchell has spent his life moving between two worlds: the boardroom and the inner journey. His work is about bringing them together, joining the dots between Western and Eastern thinking to explore a deceptively simple question: what does it mean to live and lead well?

For more than 25 years, he has worked in senior leadership roles across business, marketing, transformation and wellbeing. He spent 15 years at the business now known as LexisNexis Risk Solutions where, as Chief Marketing Officer, he led a team of 200 people across 20 countries during its transformation from a declining print business into a $4bn data, analytics and software business.

After moving from London to Sydney in 2016, he became Chief Customer Officer at Sumo Salad, a national franchise chain, before spending eight years as CEO APAC of Wellbeing at Work, bringing leaders together at summits across Australia, Singapore and India. Today, he is co-founder and CEO of Arcturus, a High Performance Architecture agency built on a core belief: performance is a systems design problem, not a people problem.

Yet success on the outside didn’t always mean balance on the inside. Like many leaders, Lawrence spent too much of his life in his head: thinking, planning, analysing and doing. That realisation set him on a different kind of journey, one that has become just as central to who he is.

He qualified as a health coach in 2013 and went on to study neuroscience for leaders, train in Gestalt coaching and complete KaHuna Bodywork training through Level 5. He has been a student of astrology since 2019, and his readings are rooted in Evolutionary Astrology, which approaches the birth chart as a map for growth rather than a fixed destiny.

Each discipline offered another way back to himself: through reflection, through insight and through the body.

These two worlds had begun to meet long before he had language for it. At LexisNexis Risk Solutions, he created Living Well, a holistic wellbeing programme that went on to win the CIPD Award for Best Health and Wellbeing Initiative. He is also the author of two books, Success Without Stress and A Better Life, and host of The Finding EQUILIBRIUM Show.

Through Finding EQUILIBRIUM, Lawrence now brings these different strands together, combining business strategy, coaching, astrology and bodywork to help people understand themselves more deeply and live with greater intention and balance.

At the heart of it all is one idea: equilibrium isn’t a fixed state you reach and hold. It’s an ongoing practice of noticing when you’ve lost your balance and gently finding your way back.
