Leadership isn’t about having all the answers.

And it can feel surprisingly lonely.

Whether you're leading your first team, preparing for a promotion, running a company, changing industries or simply trying to become a better manager, sometimes you need someone who's been there before, and isn’t afraid to challenge your thinking.

I don’t believe most leaders need someone to tell them what to do. They need someone to help them think more clearly about what they already know.

Think of me as part coach, part experienced operator, and part trusted sounding board.

Together we’ll help you to think more clearly, make better decisions, and become the leader you want to be.

YOU MIGHT BE HERE BECAUSE

  • You’re in a new leadership role.

  • You’re contemplating decisions you can’t easily talk through internally.

  • Your confidence has taken a hit.

  • You’re dealing with a difficult boss.

  • Your team isn’t clicking.

  • You feel stuck or overwhelmed.

  • You’re carrying more than people realize.

  • You want someone objective, who’s been there, and will tell you the truth.

WHAT COACHING w/ ME IS ACTUALLY LIKE

  • We might spend an hour discussing feedback or preparing for a difficult conversations.

  • Some sessions are strategic. Some are messy.

  • I love a good whiteboard session.

  • Sometimes you simply need to vent before we figure out what comes next.

  • And sometimes the goal is just making it through a difficult week.

    Every session ends with something practical you can use.


One client recently called me a “business shrink with no bullshit”. It made me laugh because, in many ways, that’s exactly what our conversations feel like: a place to think clearly, challenge assumptions, and leave with practical next steps.

“You helped me change my career direction. I felt safe…but you also pushed for ownership and accountability.

You are also a warm and funny human…thankful and grateful for life!”

“Max taught me that empathy and business can, in fact, coexist & that is always better…she also taught me to stay true to my values, rather than align myself to something I truly don’t believe in.”
