Enchanté, moi c'est Maxime !

Le développement personnel a changé ma vie. À 18 ans, je ne savais pas exactement pourquoi j'étais là, je manquais de confiance en moi. Je ne me connaissais pas, je ruminais et je ne trouvais pas de sens à ma vie. En d'autres termes, j'étais perdu.

J'ai commencé à chercher des réponses à des questions naïves.
Comment être à l'aise en public ? Comment trouver ma passion ? Comment rester motivé et productif ? Comment profiter de la vie ?

Au final, j'en ressors transformé.

Une conférence devant une salle comble de 70 personnes.
Une organisation qui me maintient productif au quotidien.
Un épanouissement personnel au top depuis 5 ans maintenant !

C'est pourquoi aujourd'hui je transmets toutes les stratégies qui m'ont aidé et qui m'aident encore au quotidien. Sur LinkedIn, j'aborde quotidiennement des conseils sur le développement personnel, la performance ou encore la prise de parole en public. En plus d'être ingénieur informatique de formation, je vise à rendre les choses simples et accessibles.

N'hésitez pas aussi à m'envoyer un p'tit message sur Linkedin, ça sera avec plaisir d'échanger.

Ah oui , et je suis fan de chocolat chaud, de fromage suisse... et de Taylor Swift ! : )

Inspire - This is the method I trust and believe in. By inspire first (the why), I'm confident people will find instructions after (the how).

I am the founder of The Knoxville Happiness Coalition where we offer coaching, management consultation, and training for individuals and organizations. I teach personal & professional development courses for The University of Tennessee Center for Professional Education and Lifelong Learning. My courses on the Learn Formula platform offer continuing education credits. I am a certificate holder of The Fellowship, the world’s preeminent organizational culture masterclass.

From 2020 to 2022, I served on the board of the Oak Ridge Human Resources Association and played a pivotal role in merging it with the Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce, creating the Oak Ridge Human Resources Alliance. Since then, I have been active on the advisory committee, helping shape the future of HR practices in our community.

I also served as President of the Board for The Knoxville Association of Women Executives, with 4 years on the Board, leading projects to amend by-laws, support a scholarship to a local university student, and acknowledge a notable woman in our community. I am also a mentor with UT Promise, and a Community Champion on the Udemy teaching platform. My talks have been featured with World Happiness Fest as I’ve been part of the community since its inception.

My expertise comes from a Masters degree in Counseling, Bachelor degree in Social Work, Certification to teach the Bible from Rhema Bible College & recent certification in Leadership & Management from Wharton Executive Education. I have 30+ years experience with well-being initiatives, and am a retired Mental Health Therapist.

My parents were immigrants to the United States from Cyprus, as my late father was a biophysicist, invited to the USA and subsequent Professor Emeritus of the University of Tennessee. In 1974, Turkey invaded the island, resulting in all my extended family fleeing their homes. Even though my parents were in the USA, they lost orchards, farms, a movie theater and a house. We did not visit Cyprus until 1979, as it took that long for my relatives to resettle in the southern part of the island. I was raised with a strong work ethic and gratitude for life with innate happiness, and have carried this virtue throughout my career.
