“My passion is for helping people and organizations make transformational change to live and work more consciously.” - Larry Holmes
LARRY HOLMES
Larry Holmes is a Leadership and Life Purpose Coach whose work bridges the worlds of practical leadership, personal transformation, and spiritual awareness. For nearly forty years he has guided leaders, teams, and individuals across business, government, education, sports, and the arts — helping them discover how purpose and presence can turn everyday challenges into opportunities for growth. Known for his engaging storytelling and the clarity of his insight, Larry helps people strengthen both the inner game of mindset and resilience and the outer game of performance and results.
A former college basketball player, Larry developed Mindsports, a system that enables athletes and teams to align mental discipline with physical execution. That work later expanded into leadership and organizational development, bringing him to institutions such as Harvard, Princeton, the University of California, and the Australian Academy of Science. Whether working with CEOs, educators, artists, or students, he invites people to lead with heart, authenticity, and courage — to live in alignment with what truly matters.
Larry’s own spiritual awakening began in his twenties, after being drafted into the army during the Vietnam War. The experience opened a lifelong inquiry into the nature of purpose, awareness, and human potential. Influenced by Eastern philosophy and Western psychology, he has spent decades integrating meditation, reflection, and practical action into a single, living practice — one that helps others bring wisdom and clarity into the way they lead, love, and serve.
He studied psychology, sociology, and educational psychology at the University of Michigan and has since taught and coached internationally. His recent book, Full Circle: Learning to Live with Heart and Purpose, blends memoir and reflection to reveal how life’s turning points can awaken deeper meaning. Its continuation, The Journey Continues, extends that path into the realms of leadership, teamwork, and spiritual growth.
At the heart of his message is a simple truth: purpose is where all the threads of your life come together. Through his writing, teaching, and coaching, Larry Holmes continues to inspire people everywhere to live and lead with heart, wisdom, and purpose.
