Professor Dr. Laxley W. Stephenson is a Jamaica-born, Atlanta-based Growth Mindset Strategist, Author, Keynote Speaker, Professor, and humanitarian leader whose work sits at the intersection of mindset, leadership, purpose, and institutional transformation. He is widely recognized for challenging individuals and organizations to move beyond inspiration into disciplined execution, accountability, and sustainable impact.

Dr. Stephenson is the Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Global Humanity Network Inc. (GHN), a United States–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to education, leadership development, and capacity building across the Caribbean, Africa, and the global diaspora. Under his leadership, GHN has implemented initiatives that focus not only on immediate relief, but on long-term systems of empowerment and human development.

He is also the Founder of the A Collision With Purpose Movement, a global leadership and purpose-driven initiative that explores how defining life moments—collisions—shape identity, decision-making, and direction. Through this movement, Dr. Stephenson has convened conversations, master classes, and leadership experiences that help individuals and institutions recognize pivotal moments and respond with intention rather than drift.

A key extension of his humanitarian work is GHN Beyond The Backpack, a flagship initiative he leads that goes beyond providing school supplies to deliver sustained academic support, mentorship, leadership development, and wraparound resources for students in underserved communities, particularly in Jamaica. The initiative reflects his belief that education must be supported by mindset, structure, and consistent guidance in order to produce lasting change.

As a Growth Mindset Strategist, Dr. Stephenson approaches mindset not as a motivational concept, but as a strategic framework that shapes culture, performance, resilience, and execution. His work emphasizes that leadership begins internally and that growth is a responsibility—one that requires discipline, emotional intelligence, and consistent action. This philosophy is most clearly expressed in his signature offering, The Growth Mindset Blueprint Master Class, which is tailored for corporations, academic institutions, NGOs, and faith-based organizations seeking measurable transformation.

Dr. Stephenson is the author of several influential works, including The Growth Mindset Blueprint, Living the Growth Mindset Blueprint, A Collision With Purpose: In Pursuit of Purpose, UnEarthing YOU: Your Guide to Self-Discovery and Personal Growth, and Daily Insights Unveiled: Your Odyssey to Find Purpose. Across his writings, a consistent message emerges: mindset determines trajectory, purpose demands action, and leadership is cultivated through reflection and responsibility.
