What would amazing results look like for you?

You’re here because you’re looking for change, or because change found you.

The question is: what happens next?

I work with people to lead change with purpose, in alignment with their values.

Whether you’re looking for new perspective, to navigate complexity, or to get ‘unstuck’, let’s talk about what happens next.

About

I come to coaching through decades of experience supporting people with the process of navigating change – as a leader, as a teacher, as a mentor, and as a thought-partner.  

Before launching Maxwell Stevenson Coaching, I was a leader in Higher Education in Canada and in the UK. In Canada, I was the Director of the Centre for Innovation and Excellence in Learning at Vancouver Island University; in the UK, I was a Learning and Development Manager at the University of Essex. I was an internal coach in both organizations.

In the business world, I have worked with entrepreneurs, not-for-profit leaders, and independent business owners. Within the post-secondary sector,  I have extensive experience working with university leaders at the Director-level and above, as well as academics and graduate students. What all of my clients have in common is a determination to succeed, and a willingness to do the work required to make change happen.

In addition to being a Certified Executive Coach (Royal Roads University) registered with the International Coaching Federation, I am EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 certified. I hold a BA (UVic), and an MA and PhD (Essex). I’m also a Certified Change Management Professional (Prosci), and have a Post-Graduate Certificate in Higher Education Practice (Essex).

If you’re ready to take the next steps towards your goals, I’m ready to walk beside you every step of the way. Get in touch today – let’s chat to see if we’d be a good fit.
