Working with Max has been inspirational. Max has helped me tackle specific issues or challenges in my life, and take steps towards improving them. Even in areas of my life where I thought there was nothing that could be done, he’s helped me see that it’s all down to mindset and beliefs. Max has great communication skills, and he asks the right questions at the right time. He has helped me verbalize my desires and goals, and form a tactical plan to move forward. I trust Max and feel comfortable telling him about my worries and the things that are holding me back. He is very supportive and non-judgmental and has helped me form a clear vision of what I want, and how to prioritize, so I can build the life I desire. I’d highly recommend working with Max to anyone ready for self-insight and self-development.

Max has had a profound impact on my thinking as it relates to my work, personal relationships and ultimately purpose. I would highly recommend him to any business executive who might be feeling stuck and is looking for a breakthrough from a mindset perspective.

I’ve known Max for 18 months and think he’s a brilliant coach – I had a coaching session with Max where we explored a complex personal dilemma that I had been wrestling with for some time. Max asked thought-provoking questions which helped me to frame the question in a way that allowed me to explore it from different perspectives considering how it was both a threat and an opportunity. After the session I felt empowered to tackle my challenge … and indeed I did!

Working with Max has been nothing short of transformative. When I first engaged him, I was at a crossroads: ready to leave a long career in recruitment but unsure of what came next. Max helped me to clarify where I wanted (in fact, needed) to be, in a completely different space: the wine industry. What started as a fanciful idea to open a cellar door eventually evolved – through Max’s guidance – into launching my own wine distribution business. Thanks to Max’s sharp insight and encouragement, I not only launched this second business but did so having left other unviable options in the dust behind me. Those losses were mitigated before I’d even taken a step in the wrong direction. Max also connected me with invaluable contacts in the industry – some of whom I’m still working with today. Finally, on a personal level, Max stood by me through one of the most difficult chapters of my life. He helped me to navigate intense relationship issues and a near mental breakdown, always maintaining a balance of warmth, empathy, and professionalism. Max has been more than a coach – he’s been a lifeline through both professional reinvention and personal upheaval. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Max I would like to give testimony to the series of Ontological coaching sessions you led with me. They have been deeply insightful and highly effective. The introductory format and written summaries are highly structured and illuminating, helping to crystallize concrete solutions to the specific issue we discussed. I plan to continue with them and will be recommending your service to several of my portfolio company founders.

I have worked with Max extensively as a high-level performance coach, but his input as an Ontological coach has been his most important role in our family. Max has an amazing ability to listen, and to summarize what you are thinking. Sometimes hearing your thoughts read back to you is all you need for clarity. If needed, Max will then carefully guide you toward your decision. He will not make the decision for you, but rather, give you the mindset and confidence to make this decision. If we were to begin this journey again, Max would be in our team from the beginning and he will continue to help our family into the future.

I’ve known and worked with Max for many years. I’ve deeply appreciated his consistency and tailored support of my family. He has a great natural sense of reading people’s mind and seeing what’s behind the conversation between us and him. He has the strength of capturing the small details that might affect largely to the issues, as well as getting down to the central point of problems straight away which makes his coaching very effective and efficient. He has supported both me and my sons in our development and always makes himself available to us whenever we have needed. I’m very grateful for all of Max’s coaching and see myself working with him indefinitely.

Working with Max to uncover the deeper layers of my behavioural patterns and personal narratives has been a profoundly rewarding and transformative experience, full of unexpected insights that have informed many other aspects of my life. His professional approach and methods for personal inquiry and self-development are predicated upon trust, honesty, and the courage to reinterpret what is possible for who you wish to become. Max is both supportive and accountable in tailoring a program to your own specific needs, and I’ll be forever grateful for the breakthroughs we have achieved in our sessions. I encourage anyone wishing to unlock their fullest potential to consider working with Max as an invaluable part of that process.

Max is super passionate about helping people achieve their business and personal goals. If you’re looking to get a better work life balance, Max has the tools to help with a clearly defined strategy to success.
