BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL

Sometimes moving forward starts by drawing back.

Coaching is not always about pushing ahead immediately. Sometimes you need space to pause, reflect and understand what is shaping where you are now. That space creates perspective. Perspective helps you find direction. Having direction helps build the necessary momentum to create meaningful impact.

Perspective creates direction. Direction creates momentum. Momentum creates impact.

Coaching that is shaped around you.

Every coaching relationship is different. At Positive Impact, it starts with understanding where you are now, what matters most and where you want to go.

From there, the coaching is shaped around you, with the right balance of support, perspective and challenge to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

  • A focused session for a specific challenge, decision or priority. Space to think clearly, explore options and leave with practical next steps.

  • For CEOs, senior leaders, managers and emerging leaders who want to lead with greater clarity, confidence and impact.

  • For people navigating change, uncertainty, return to work, career decisions or a shift in confidence and direction.

  • A trusted thinking space for HR and People leaders who understand the demands of supporting others while carrying significant responsibility themselves.

  • Bespoke coaching, group work and facilitation for organisations that want to strengthen leadership capability, support positive change and invest in their people.

Space to think. Support to move forward.

Coaching at Positive Impact is supportive, honest and purposeful. It creates space to think deeply, reflect openly and gain perspective, while staying focused on practical progress and meaningful outcomes.

Designed for leaders, CEOs, managers, HR professionals and individuals seeking greater clarity, confidence and direction. Through coaching, insight becomes action, creating momentum for meaningful, lasting change.

What clients can expect.

What my clients say.

Maxine combines a wealth of experience with warmth, empathy and a genuine belief in helping people grow. After a long period away from work, I lacked confidence and was unsure how to position myself for paid employment. Through coaching and mentoring, Maxine helped me recognise my skills, challenge my self limiting beliefs and move forward with confidence. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for career guidance and support.

- Sara

"Maxine was the first leader who truly invested in my growth beyond my day-to-day role. She helped me recognise my potential, build confidence, and feel ready to take the next step in my HR career. Her coaching was nurturing, honest and empowering. She created a trusting space where I could challenge myself, develop strategic thinking, and take ownership of bigger opportunities, from employee relations to company-wide people initiatives.I progressed from a junior HR generalist into an HR Manager role, and I credit Maxine’s mentorship as a defining part of that journey. She has a genuine gift for helping people see what they are capable of, while offering the encouragement and practical guidance to get there."

- Natasha

“Maxine is incredibly skilled at helping you achieve your goals. Working with her, I felt supported and encouraged, and she helped me build my confidence and aim higher than I normally would. I would not hesitate to recommend Maxine to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional and results focused coach.”

- Emma W

“Maxine is one of those rare leaders who leaves a lasting impression on the people she supports. Her coaching helped me navigate the challenges of early leadership, building my confidence while I developed my capability. She encouraged me to recognise my strengths, develop my own leadership style and lead with greater authenticity. She walked alongside me when I did not believe in myself, encouraged curiosity and continuous learning, and helped me find both clarity and enjoyment in my leadership journey. Maxine has a remarkable ability to bring out the best in others, helping people reflect, grow and realise their potential. Fourteen years later, I still turn to her for advice, ideas and perspective. She remains a trusted leadership touchstone and mentor.”
