## Resource

Author and CEO coach Kevin Lawrence works with executives around the world on achieving corporate success while also maintaining personal growth. In his earlier book, “Your Oxygen Mask First: 17 Habits to Help High Achievers Survive & Thrive in Leadership & Life,” Lawrence instructs CEOs to understand they’re not being selfish by taking care of their own wellbeing. His newest book, “The Four Forces of Growth” turns to corporate wellbeing and outlines four areas CEOs must prioritize to maintain the business’ upward trajectory. In this Retail Rx podcast for WWD Voices, Lawrence chats with Patrick J. Murphy, executive director, geopolitical advisors at Hilco Global, about why if companies aren’t oriented for growth, they’re inevitably headed in another direction. Learn more about your ad choices.
