High Performance Coach - Personal Development Strategist - Developmental Theorist - Published Author

Advanced Personal Development Programs Designed for Those Who Want More Than Just Success.

Extraordinary individuals simply do not need generic coaching

My frameworks are built for those who operate at the highest level.

Max Stephens

Hi, I’m Max—and my work is about transformation at the deepest level.

High performers don’t need motivation.
They need clarity, precision, and the ability to see beyond their current mental models.

My programs aren’t just about setting goals or optimizing performance.
They’re about rewiring how you perceive reality, solve problems, and navigate complexity.

The real frontier isn’t success, it’s self-mastery.

If you’re ready to upgrade the architecture of your mind, let’s talk.

Max just wanted to reach out and say thankyou for putting aside a couple of hours to discuss ‘ME’ – it’s very rare that I am able to be fully transparent in regards to my life both professionally and personally. It really was quite refreshing and insightful. Post our meetings I have been able to reflect on the things we have discussed and really can see some areas I feel I have neglected and can give some more attention to, it was very easy to talk with you and look forward to our coaching session next week.

Max has helped me shape my focus on areas of my life I needed to prioritise. Max shows great care for me to be the happiest healthy version of myself. He has shown me the ability to improve elements of my life to be more fulfilled, which has led to finding a greater work life balance and finding more time for my young family.

We have had the pleasure of working with Max for the past 18 months. During this time we made some bold family decisions, home school our children, continue to grow and contribute to two growing companies remotely, move to Manly Beach Sydney, and expand our accommodation company which our daughters have had full emersion in from the onset, we encourage a business and entrepreneurial mindset, a customized process of learning business and relish in the abundance of questions of what they show individually show interest to. It’s been a beautiful experience and quite daunting at times, it’s been a process of elimination for what feels right for the family and what we are about and seeking moving forward. It has been a pleasure to share with Max and somewhat parallels with his coaching practice, business decisions we are making, and decisions to work with Max. One of our family values at the forefront is having deep meaningful relationships and the opportunity of time, conversations, and many questions. This is something we have come to experience with Max and respect and admire. We always look forward to a mutual relationship where we all grow and contribute to one another. We are firm believers that the right people turn up at the right times. A quote within the family and our business at the moment is, ‘When the student is ready the teacher appears’. Max has an innate ability to ask great questions and gives firm honest opinions also.  An attribute that we admire and respect very much. Max needs to be on your team. It has been an awesome experience that is only just scratching the surface!

MAX STEPHENS’ COMPREHENSIVE COACHING PROGRAMS

Every high performer reaches a crossroads—what’s your next move?

Choose a way to get to your destination:

WHO THE COACHING PROGRAMS ARE FOR

High performers don’t need more advice—they need a system for self-mastery.

Who actually challenges your thinking—or have you surrounded yourself with yes-men?

What is the meaning of your life outside of success?

If you’re successful, why are you still in pain?

Allow me to challenge you to a deep conversation.

BESPOKE COACHING PROGRAMS FOR HIGH PERFORMERS

Yes, of course, we’ll define your goals.
But that’s just the start.

Most coaching focuses on outcomes—I focus on upgrading the system that produces those outcomes.

Your thinking.

Your decision-making.

Your entire way of making sense of reality.

My coaching isn’t about just getting results—it’s about transforming the way you operate at the deepest level.

Max Stephens, The Pathfinder Intensive Program

THE PATHFINDER INTENSIVE PROGRAM

In my work, clarity is not something to be found, but rather, something to be created. In three hours, we’ll deconstruct the mental models shaping your decisions, expose hidden constraints, and reconstruct a way forward. At its core, this is about upgrading the way you see, think, and operate. Perfect for those ready to break patterns, not just set plans.

Max Stephens, The Strategic Apex Program

THE STRATEGIC APEX PROGRAM

Self Mastery isn’t about excelling in one area, like the pursuit of business success, it’s about synthesizing mastery across all domains. Over six months, we’ll upgrade three key areas of your life, your choice, integrating them into a seamless, self-sustaining system. This is deep work that will rewire how you think, operate, and evolve, so growth becomes effortless and inevitable

Max Stephens, The Personal Revolution Program

THE PERSONAL REVOLUTION PROGRAM

For those who want a full-time strategic partner in their corner. This is an immersive, year-long collaboration designed for high performers who want constant, real-time insight, challenge, and partnership as they evolve every dimension of their life. From the biggest decisions to the smallest details, I’ll be by your side. This is for those who don’t just want growth. They want a revolution.

Whichever path you take, I’ll be right there, pushing your thinking, refining your strategy, and ensuring every move is intentional.

I have loved my work with Max. He has helped me to clarify a challenge I was experiencing in my life and worked with me to find solutions. I am looking forward to our next session.

Max’s coaching has been highly effective, proving to create significant results in my experience, and his empathy is second to none.

Peter Thorne
Technical Director - ActiveSG
Within weeks of working with Max I gained deep insight in to myself and began to make inroads in to problems that I felt were plaguing me for years.
His intricate and vast knowledge of human behaviour and psyche, coupled with his ability to simplify problems into manageable, powerless thoughts make him the perfect person for anyone looking to harness their full potential.

Extraordinary praise
from extraordinary people

Max Stephens has really helped me grow in confidence, especially when it comes to navigating tough situations. One of the most valuable things I’ve learned from him is how to communicate through civil discourse—staying calm, respectful, and focused on solutions, even when things get challenging. Max has also taught me the importance of compassion. He’s helped me better understand and connect with others, which has made a big difference in both my professional and personal relationships. Honestly, his guidance has been invaluable in shaping how I handle myself and work with others

Dominic Tayco
Managing Director - Thaddeus Martin
Max helped me navigate a recent career crossroads when I felt anxious and uncertain about making the right decision. At the time, I was torn between staying in my current job or pursuing a new path. I also needed to figure out just how honest I was about my motivations for wanting to make such a significant change so close to retirement. My experience working with Max was genuinely compelling. Max’s approach quickly established a safe place to talk and think out loud. His probing and sharp focus meant we could soon get to the real issues. We worked out what matters professionally and personally and identified the values closest to the heart and mind to use as a compass in choosing the right path. I greatly benefited from Max’s insightful, emotional intelligence and his use of humour to unravel brutal truths. If you want to make meaningful change and feel stuck between your current life and the one you should be leading, I highly recommend working with Max. He has a talent for helping you discover your true path within minutes of meeting you. With thanks and gratitude for the opportunity to take the time to pause, rest and move on with such a positive outcome.

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.
