Leadership from the inside out.
Most executive coaches give you a framework.
Few have run the business.
Max brings twenty-plus years of Executive operating experience. As a former President & COO, builder of high-performance teams at scale, combined with graduate-level training in psychology and a somatic approach grounded in the body, not just the boardroom.
This combination is what makes Max different.
