Nicholas Lawrence

Nicholas Lawrence serves as the Executive Director of People & Culture for one of the largest Chick-fil-A franchise groups in the country, based in Indianapolis. With over 17 years of leadership experience at Chick-fil-A, Target, and Macy’s, he has led initiatives that shaped growth, strengthened culture, and cultivated people-first environments that empower both team members and leaders to succeed.
 

Born out of this experience, Nicholas founded Lawrence Leadership, a coaching and consulting firm specializing in leadership development and culture transformation. His work focuses on matters of the heart, helping leaders grow in emotional intelligence, live with purpose, and navigate the hard but necessary conversations that drive meaningful change.
 

In addition to group training and workshops, Nicholas provides mentorship and 1-on-1 coaching, equipping leaders with the clarity, confidence, and accountability needed to thrive. His approach is practical and actionable, grounded in the belief that “My Pleasure” isn’t just a catchphrase, but a moral obligation, a way of serving others with consistency, humility, and genuine care.
