Lead to Exceed is a sport capability building consultancy for sports clubs, regional & national bodies as well as charitable organisations. We pride ourselves on the fact that each organisation that engages with Lead to Exceed will walk away with sustainable development through education, working documentation and literature. We have stepped outside of the traditional informative workshop environment and structure to provide a unique development opportunity. Lead to Exceed Managing Director Laura Baxter identified the need for a modern and innovative capability development opportunity and formal established the organisation in January 2017. Laura’s knowledge and experience has provided the opportunity to work in a number of countries internationally including the UK, USA and New Zealand. At present as well as being the Managing Director of Lead to Exceed, Laura is Head of Delegation for Special Olympics Great Britain for the 2019 World Games in Abu Dhabi and Special Olympics Scotland Head of Sport and Competition for the 2018 SOGB Anniversary Games and holds a National role with a Scottish Governing body for sport. Laura has been a full time professional in the Sports Development industry for 16 years where she has had strong positive and successful impact through positions such as Sport Capability Lead, National Project Officer, Sports Development Officer, Community Sport Advisor and Active Schools Co-ordinator.
