I help visionary servant leaders manifest their boldest dreams by undertaking a dual journey of inner transformation and social change

“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. 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.”

Jimmy Murphy, Co-Founder - Town Team Movement, Australia

About You

Serve

You are a servant leader.

You are driven by a deep desire to improve the lives of others, rather than feed your own hunger for power or significance.  

You find yourself asking questions like this:
-Am I doing enough to serve others?
-Have I found the right way to use my gifts to serve others?
-How do I balance the work of serving others with my need to take care of myself?

Seek

You are a seeker.
You yearn to experience the sacred and encounter the transcendent, and you understand yourself to be on a path of spiritual growth. 

Your soul is energized by questions like this:
-What is the true nature of self?
-How can I cultivate authentic community?
-How can I experience more wholeness and connection with source?

Scale

You want to grow your impact in the world. 

You have a vision that is bold and audacious, and feel called to have an impact on a larger scale in order to be of greater service at this critical moment in history.  

You are driven by questions like these:
-How do I impact the lives of more individuals?
-How do I have an impact at both the micro and macro levels?
-Who am I to do something truly bold in the world?

About My Coaching Approach

Integral Coaching weaves together a rigorous understanding of adult development and a highly intuitive, creative practice of connecting deeply with each client.

This approach to coaching is not fundamentally about building skills, setting goals, or providing accountability (although all of that may happen in a coaching engagement). It is about guiding clients through a shift in their innermost way of being.

Integral Coaching is grounded in the belief that our current way of being has led us to where we find ourselves right now; if we want to begin creating new possibilities in our lives, than we must grow beyond our current way into a new way that includes and transcends our current way. As we move along this pathway of growth and change, we find ourselves responding to the world in new ways and opening up new possibilities for ourselves on a daily basis.

As we take this journey together, I strive to hold my clients in a place of productive discomfort by balancing deep compassion with a willingness to challenge established ways of thinking and being in gently provocative ways.

The result is not just new skills or completed goals; it is a transformed way of relating to the world that endures far beyond the end of our work together.

  • 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 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.”
    -Brett A., Management Consultant

  • “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.”
