“Unveiling the Sum of His Success”

WASHINGTON - Feb. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- From a distance, Dr. Clayton G. Lawrence appears to be a man of many and varied talents. As a veteran doctor that currently spends his time in roles as a business executive, an endurance athlete, and an ambitious model, most are unable to see the immediate and intertwining connections that his various roles have. However, in his self-published account of his 2013 journey entitled, The Sum of My Success, Lawrence provides a brief glimpse into how each of his roles develop a more purposeful and successful whole.

With a nod in the foreword of the book from colleague, close friend, and former Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. Regina Benjamin, Lawrence seamlessly ties together a theme that promotes the power of education and the importance of living life with a healthy balance. Spending a large portion of the book discussing the ways in which he invests in strengthening his mind and body, Dr. Lawrence makes it no secret that his road to achievement has taken him further than he could have ever imagined because of his dedication to health and wellness.

“Without an intense focus on health, we undermine our ability to succeed in anything that we do,” says Lawrence in one portion of his book. He goes on to highlight his recent, but successful arrival into the world of endurance sports, again citing that his ambitions to begin marathon training would have never been possible without a true commitment and disciplined approach to living a proactively healthy lifestyle. “As a doctor, I focus daily on small proactive approaches to staying healthy, but making the choice to be an endurance athlete only capitalizes on what pursuing a passion with a positive mindset and foundation for a healthy body can do.”

Digging deeper into his distinct roles, Lawrence enthusiastically, but humbly highlights the success of his two companies – Lawrence Executive Alliance of Professionals (LEAP), LLC and LEAP Foundation DC. Both the for-profit and non-profit organizations have been recognized nationally and internationally, but 2014 has specifically been a year of recognition for LEAP, as the release of this book comes on the heels of winning a Non Profit Award from the Greater Washington Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GWHCC), as well as Lawrence’s selection as a honoree for a Washington Business Journal Minority Business Leader Award.

In a final section of the book, Dr. Lawrence discusses his long-time affinity for the arts as he shares snapshots of his own artistic endeavors as an up and coming model. He states, “In essence, modeling – a field criticized for seemingly being so focused on the superficial – has only elevated my perception and understanding of what exists beyond the surface of all things. In everything, there is depth. In everything, there is meaning. And, by having to come face-to-face with that notion, literally and figuratively through modeling, I have been able to take the time to see the beauty in the complexity and the simplicity of life.”

Dr. Lawrence undoubtedly provides a portrait of a modern-day renaissance man in The Sum of My Success. His commitment and dedication to each of these roles has not only transformed his life, but impacted the Washington D.C. community and the world abroad with a legacy that will last a lifetime.
