Leadership & Time Management for Knowledge Workers
productive clients
Google reviews
Many professionals and teams experience constant pressure at work.
Not because they lack skills or motivation, but because everything competes for attention.
This page describes one way of working together.
Not through tricks or productivity hacks, but by helping people take responsibility for how they use their time, energy and attention.
Work pressure is rarely a time problem. It is a decision problem. People:
- try to do too much at once
- hesitate to set boundaries
- stay reactive instead of deliberate
- confuse urgency with importance
Adding more tools does not solve this. Clear choices do.
Our approach
My work combines leadership development and time management.
The foundation is simple:
- focus on what is within your control
- take responsibility for your choices
- let go of what does not deserve your attention
This perspective is inspired by Stoic philosophy.
Not as theory, but as a practical framework for modern work.
No optimisation of everything. No promise of doing more. Just clarity, discipline and direction.
What changes
After working together, people typically experience:
- more clarity about what truly matters
- less mental noise during the workday
- stronger boundaries
- more deliberate use of time and attention
Not because the work disappears, but because the noise does.
Who this is for
This work fits professionals and teams who:
- value responsibility over comfort
- are willing to reflect on their own behaviour
- want sustainable clarity, not quick fixes
It is not for those looking for shortcuts or ready‑made answers.
Customer experiences
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really struggled with planning and gaining an overview; my inbox was overflowing, and I had notes everywhere. What I appreciated most was that Max doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach; he truly considers what I need. It's also great that the coaching program lasts longer than just one or two sessions, allowing good habits to take root effectively.
