“I chose to work with Max after I ended a significant chapter in my professional career and was in the midst of figuring out my next steps. I was drawn to his approach around identifying your shadow mission as it captured something I experienced but hadn't put into words. I knew that with his deep work in organizational change, learning and personal transformation and his commitment to racial justice issues, he'd bring a valuable perspective to my own goals in these areas. By helping me explore the story I'd been telling myself and the one I wanted to move toward, Max helped me clarify and articulate values, a mission, and ways of being in this next chapter. I feel really fortunate to have gotten to work with someone so thoughtful and giving, and look forward to our paths crossing again soon.”

“Coaching with Max Klau was literally life changing. I have had many life coaches and mentors before but Max’s work is the deep work. It goes far beyond goal setting and holding you to account. This is the stuff that alters your entire being, that changes the way you feel about yourself and interact with the world around you. After just six weeks with Max I have a deeper understanding of who I am, how to live outside of my ego and how and why I want to connect and contribute to people beyond myself. With Max’s guidance and space, I have shifted my very consciousness and ‘levelled up’ moving closer to the person I barely dreamed of prior to the course. If you want to jump off the cliff and dive deep then there is no better person in the world I would recommend more highly than Max.”

“My coaching process with Max was a revelation and a glorious journey at the same time. Doing deep work is never comfortable but his empathetic approach makes it so much easier to stay in the process and get immense growth value. The foundation of the integral coaching is already quite phenomenal and Max adds his unique brand of active listening and his life's work in leadership.”

“Max is an incredible coach and mentor. Working with him, both with teams and individually, has been truly transformational. He has helped me to become a more compassionate and capable person and leader, and more generally, to better understand how to learn and grow in life. His coaching is structured and purposeful, while also flexible and leaving room for discovery along the way. For anyone who has the chance to work with Max, you will not regret it.”

"I worked with Max as I went through a professional and personal transition, and found the experience to be both grounding and inspiring. I completed the program with a greater sense of self, a renewed professional dedication to public service, and a heightened clarity around my core values. I highly recommend Max's services!”

“I had the opportunity to participate in one-on-one coaching with Max as part of my personal development and I can honestly say that it was one of the best personal development experiences of a relatively long career.  Max is a highly competent, professional, organized and very perceptive coach that was able to challenge me in the right ways at the right times to really go deep into my approach to work and my personal life to get the best out of me. I couldn’t recommend Max enough to get you to think about what you’re doing in a different way and really reconnect with your purpose and leadership skills.”

“Max was my coach last year… and I am still tapping into the lessons I gained from our time together.  Life changing is right! The experience was unlike any development program I’ve ever been a part of. It’s hard work and nothing is simply handed to you but the deep digging you’re forced to do will leave you in a place you’d never thought you’d be. Max is so tuned into YOU that it feels like you’re the only one he is supporting and coaching.”  

“Max helped me through a big transition (job + intercontinental move with my family) and I was able to enjoy every minute of it. It's really hard for me to describe the work that we did together, because it didn't feel like work. He understood after the intake session what I needed and tailored his coaching specifically for me. He helped me tap into and align with my core beliefs and intuition. If you are looking to increase your capacity for leading, living, and loving in the world, you will not go wrong working with Max.”
