Testimonials
“Maxine is an excellent coach with a laser focus on branding and career growth. Her superior listening skills and practical, action-oriented advice make her highly effective and a pleasure to work with. I’ve had the benefit of working with her for over 10 years as a peer and coach.”
“Maxine’s 1-to-1 coaching is amazing. She listens, challenges, and coaches, all expertly. In every session, I learned new things and uncovered areas I needed to work on, digging deeper to access my authenticity and voice. Like many women, I struggled with imposter syndrome. Maxine has helped me own my body of work and be proud of what I have accomplished. Our work together has helped me move forward in my career and step up into leadership roles. Maxine continuously teaches you how to see yourself, not just as a professional but as a holistic, formidable human, ready to make a change in the world.”
“After a lifetime of education and obtaining my PhD, it was time for me to transition my career towards industry. Maxine was an amazing coach, helping me navigate self-discovery and determining what I wanted to do, how I could achieve my aspirations, and giving me the instructions, tools, and confidence for success.”
“Maxine’s approach is to establish a highly relatable and trusting relationship. The result was a springboard to share ideas about how to move my business forward. Her corporate leadership experience with Fortune 500 companies coupled with her experience with not-for-profit boards gives her a solid grounding as an executive coach. I have found Maxine to be thoughtful, intentional, and compassionate in helping to set action-oriented and practical goals towards professional growth. I highly recommend Maxine as an executive coach.”
