#7 Alex Lawrence: From building communities to leading a prestigious business school

From extensive work with nonprofits, to work on the Riordan fellowships at Anderson Business School, Alex Lawrence now sits as the assistant dean of Anderson and has built his life around giving back to the community. He’s made mentoring and helping people his life’s mission, and believes that staying connected to all of the communities you’ve been a part of in your life is the key to fulfilment and success. In this compelling discussion, Alex describes why he’s so passionate about creating a better future for young people. He explains how going down the rabbit hole means reassessing the currency you trade in - relationships, not money, and offers practical advice on how to find your true values to construct your brand and raise your profile. This conversation centres around Anderson Business School’s three pillars and the values that Alex embodies; think fearlessly, drive change, and the importance of shared success.
