"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life."
Charles Darwin

Lawler Kang

After 15 years of corporate and entrepreneurial leadership, Lawler was on vacation and started doodling a process that became the genesis of the Engagement Drivers.  Soon thereafter, he walked away from empire building, wrote Passion at Work, whose tools and philosophy laid the foundation for Ingage's current work. 

His past corporate endeavors have included:
  • Leading the successful turnaround of three (out of four) technology/services and biotech firms
  • Serving as Engagement Manager, and then Managing Director of the Northeast Practice of Scient, a technology consultancy
  • Mergers & acquisition, brand identity, and internet strategy consulting
  • Executive searches (CXOs, Presidents, VPs) to enable revolutions in technology and services businesses
  • Brand identity consulting to the Financial Services and Telecommunications sectors
  • Starting as a glorified shipping clerk, supported revenue growth from US $2 to 40 million in five years leading Customer Service and Trans-Pacific Supply Chain functions for a Japanese chemical manufacturer
Entrepreneurial endeavors have included founding a socially responsible import firm out of Yogyakarta, Indonesia and an Internet services firm.

Lawler is a graduate from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and Vassar College. 

Lawler’s philosophies on life—and work's place in it—have been shaped significantly by his conquering the after-effects of a cerebral aneurysm, sustained at 14, and three additional major surgeries before the age of 21.
