Clear choices. Fewer distractions. More deliberate work.

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.

The real problem

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.

How we work together

There is one approach, with two ways of working.

1‑on‑1 coaching

For professionals who:

- carry a lot of responsibility

- feel mentally overloaded

- struggle to prioritise or disconnect from work


Coaching focuses on:

- decision‑making under pressure

- boundaries and ownership

- translating insight into daily behaviour

Personal, direct and practical.

Incompany training

For teams that:

- work in complex, demanding environments

- experience structural work pressure

- want a shared language around focus and priorities


Training sessions are:

- interactive

- grounded in real work situations

- focused on behaviour, not theory

- The goal is not perfect planning, but better choices, together.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Max employs the HOPPA method in his coaching, which focuses on returning to the basics. This approach helps clients enhance their attention to planning and structure in their work, leading to a clearer mind and a regained sense of overview. By consistently applying this method, individuals can effectively manage their tasks and improve their productivity.
