Quick Reality Check

Are you…

What if you don’t change?

My Promise

Transform your inner game → watch outer success (and genuine joy) become natural side-effects. Together, we:

You’ll feel more alive, more connected, and more effective—without having to pretend or force it.

My Approach

Under the Surface

We look at what’s really running the show—unconscious beliefs, emotional baggage, all that stuff quietly sabotaging you. We bring it to light and transform it.

Updating Your “Operating System”

Your coping strategies made sense in the past, but now they’re blocking your flow. We peel away layers of fear, shame, and limiting beliefs so your natural clarity and leadership can shine.

Presence Over Tactics

Tactics are helpful, but without inner alignment, they feel forced and don’t stick. My coaching is about deep change so better leadership, relationships, and decisions flow easily from who you are, not who you “should” be.

Blending East & West

I integrate mindfulness, emotional healing, and proven leadership insights. The result? A holistic approach that hits deeper than standard “business coaching.”

About Me

I’m Max, an ex-founder & CEO who’s been on both ends of the startup roller coaster. 20+ years of meditation and emotional development (plus training with top Silicon Valley coaches) taught me that true leadership starts inside.

I’ve coached leaders through investor showdowns, team meltdowns, and personal crises. My focus: help them see their unconscious triggers, heal them, and step into genuine ease, empowerment, and connection.

Quick Creds

Benjamin Schwarz

Max guided me through an extremely challenging phase as a founder and played a crucial role in helping me build resilience. He significantly contributed to my reaching a new level of clarity and strength. Every session brings profound insights, revealing blind spots and shifting my perspective fundamentally.

How We Can Work Together

1:1 Coaching

This is for you—fully personalized, tailored to exactly what you need in the moment. We meet regularly (online or in-person). Every session adapts to where you are and what will move you forward the fastest.

12-Week Leadership On-Ramp Intensive

Step into leadership with confidence. This structured 90-day program gives you the mindset, tools, and skills to lead effectively, so you don’t have to figure it out the hard way. Master key fundamentals for yourself (connection, empowerment, energy/genius, decision-making, delegation, handling pressure) and your team (1:1s, team meetings, accountability, navigating conflict, culture).

12-Month Culture Change Program

If your org needs a culture shift or you’re in a major transition, we go deeper—from personal transformation to team-wide change. This typically includes structured sessions with the full leadership team as well as 1:1 coaching of key leaders. I'll tailor this to your company's specific needs.

🌀 Try a Coaching Session

Book a first session with me directly — no sales call, no pitch. I want you to experience the real thing.

At the end of the session, you choose what it was worth to you. I trust you to know what feels right.

If we both feel it’s a strong fit, I’ll offer to continue — and we’ll co-create the right structure together (including pricing).
