11 Months
LIVING FROM BEING
11 months dedicated to re-discovering, trusting and reclaiming your essence. So as to live through the abundant centre that is at the core of your Self.
Integrate the parts of you that have become hidden, unknown, and disowned. And design a pathway that integrates the full stack of faculties, that life is fundamentally made up of.
You will encounter the rich multiplicity of your Self and transform into more of who you already are. This signifies a deep commitment to your life – and in that to all of life.
A commitment made from the heart, mind, body and soul.

Essence Exercise
Uncover Your Essence
With the beginning of our work, you will be tasked to uncover your Essence. This sets the ground to our work together and will empower your Being right from the start.
At the centre of your Being is your Essence.
This essence shines like a light from you, and is distinct from all others.
All humans have an ability to sense another’s essence. But because we are our essence, we quickly miss this about ourselves.
And any words we use to describe essence are ultimately only a map to the territory.
Love, Brilliance, Spirit, Haven, Leader, Presence, Devotion, Radiance etc. are examples of words we can use to point to your Essence.
Month 1 - 2
Empowering the Container
Integral Life Design
Project Design
Learning to be a Client
The first two month, we consciously dedicate to how you make the most of the coaching space.
We do this through empowering you with new languages, perspectives and new practices.
This allows you to inquire into various areas of your life. You will take an integral perspective and design the next 11 months together with me
To live a fully expressed life, means showing up fully in all areas that are important to you.
Career. Relationship. Purpose. Emotions. Body. Sexuality. Spirit. Shadow. Family. Money…
Through this exploration into the different areas, we uncover what you desire. And we create projects to support a forward movement towards these desires.
And because the relationship you hold to a project, is a beautiful reflection of your relationship to life, we empower working with and through intentional project and life design.
Month 3 - 4
Context Exploration
Learning to Own your World
About four month in, you’ll start hit the first major resistances and blocks to creating the life you desire.
You will start to explore the context you have built to keep you safe in the world.
This is the moment to own the truth of your world and to own it’s impact on your life.
“Emotions get in the way of creating”
“Others can’t be trusted”
“I’m not good enough”
All these statements are objectively not true. Instead they are a context or story you hold about your world. A relationship that you believe to be true.
We all have them, and we will always overlay a context on top of the reality that is in front of us. And as long as we cannot see that we have a particular context, we cannot free ourself from its limitations.
Throughout our time, you will uncover these contexts and create space to transform them into large and more expressive relationships to life.
Month 5 - 6
New Creation
Shadow Exploration
First Breakthrough
Creation unlocks when you move the things out of the way, that have hindered you in the past.
This means uncovering and naming your survival mechanism (shadow), so as to create the awareness to explore new ways of Being and Doing in the world.
Your Survival Mechanisms are the over- and under- expressions of your essence.
They are the shadows cast from the light that you are innately.
In other words, those strategies you had to develop to be loved by those around you, are the ways in which distorted your light to be accepted.
We call these “shadows” because we have hidden these strategies from ourselves (we push them into the unconscious), not because they are “bad” or “undesirable”.
Month 7 - 11
Living from your Being
Awareness creates Awareness
After about 6 month of this work, you will have discovered your essence, discovered your contexts, revealed your shadows and created your first breakthroughs.
This is where the process speeds up and becomes fractal – the awareness you have created moves backwards and forwards in reflection and makes all movements easier.
Awareness creates awareness.
Thus every moment you shine light into the unconscious, you shine light into all of your life.
We cannot seperate the awareness you have created in one area of your life, because at the centre of all of it is your Self.
An ever evolving and ever-brightening Self.
And the easier it gets, the easier it gets.
All movement builds on itself and accelerates the process.
A Month of Coaching
For three weeks in the month, we’ll move fluidly through seeking, leading and creating the life you desire.
And once a month, you take a week to integrate the process so far.
This creates an optimal amount of inquiry, creation, rest and integration to maintain the 11 month of work together.

Integrated
Seekers
Who strive to live from deep authenticity
You have a deep desire to be an authentic expression of yourself.
But you don’t care for your own needs and desires.
This leads to stress and lack of rest and recovery.
You are constantly thinking there is more for you to do.
So you experience latent frustration throughout.
And this leads you to quickly questioning everything.
Emergent
Leaders
Who strive to inspire and empower others
You have a deep need to provide care, support and direction for those around you.
But you don’t allow others to support you.
So your relationships don’t have the depth you desire.
Because deep intimacy based on authenticity is difficult when you need to “function” all the time.
This leads to feeling lonely, even though you have many people that love you.
ExpressinG
Creators
Who care deeply for the world and others
You have a driven desire to have a positive impact in the world.
Yet because of your drive, you become oblivious to the possibilities around you.
And you only allow yourself authentically when it serves the mission you’re driving forward.
You get radically creative when things are not “going well” (which is also your super-power).
And you have developed creative strategies so that “negative” emotions don’t get in your way.
Connect
Freely choose a time that you feel is adequate to connect.
All exploration calls are my gift to you, and are in service of supporting you to reach an empowered choice and opening.

Maximilian has helped me move from thinking to feeling in several facets of my life. We broke down old narratives and looked at what my current reality looks like. In our weekly sessions I always had the opportunity to take stock, with Max as a wonderful corrective for stuck thought processes and self-judgment. I am very grateful for the time we explored together.
François Rheault
Associate Director of Global Marketing, Immunology, CSL Behring
I had the pleasure of working with Maximilian over a 12-month period where he coached me through an important period of my self-development. I was in the middle of pursuing my next growth opportunity from a professional standpoint, so I decided to hire him to coach me through this transition.
In the first phase of coaching, Maximilian was instrumental in supporting me to embrace my courage to follow through on the professional opportunity. Once I got the promotion, Maximilian helped me through a very intense time of change. He did this by helping me identify some of my blindspots, identify my priorities and stay centered on the things that were most important to me. Part of the work included a session with my wife and I, to help uncover some of the dynamics driving our decisions.
As a result, I attribute a part of the success I had in securing a promotion and hitting the ground running in my new position, to the work I did with Maximilian. He helped me process the thoughts and feelings I was having through my journey and gain greater clarity on who I was and what I was looking to achieve. He also guided me through a goal-setting process and kept me accountable for my own commitments.
Maximilian is someone who came across as authentic and I felt he deeply cared about my success and me as a person. Maximilian also has a certain “je ne sais quoi” about him, that words would not do justice in explaining. Have one conversation with him and you will see what I mean.
Christopher Janke
Product Owner
The coaching process with Maximilian offered me a protected and empowered space for my own development, which I have missed very much in recent years. It is incredibly liberating to be able to work with a regularity on my fullfillment and my interaction with the world. Maximilian navigates my unstructured thoughts with great confidence and empathy, and helped me to find tools for myself and strengthens me.
Sascha Jakubenko

I perceived working with Maximilian like entering a space of focus. A space in which the two of us looking at me, profoundly changed the way I approached myself and how I took responsibility in this process.
In the time we met, a lot in my life was transforming and being with Maximilian felt like standing on a calm plane between the messy layers of change that were sliding into each other. Looking at all the messy affairs was not only safe and felt productive but really made „the looking“ itself agile, steady and joyful after all.
Over the course of 11 weeks, we were cruising through a lot of topics and seemingly changed our course multiple times. But what the experience as a whole left me with, is a great feeling of acceptance, appreciation, grounding and competence in myself.
Dominga Correa de la Noi
Designer
Maximilian was very intuitive in our sessions and oriented me towards finding my deepest desires. This while helping me to find the obstacles that I put in front of myself, which block that possibility and opening up of a new sense of hope.
He gave me the tools to understand myself and my mechanisms better. I highly recommend trusting the process, trusting him and trusting yourself in this journey. It felt a lot like teamwork and that was really nice to experience in our work together.
