What clients say

“I had the privilege of working with Maxine at a pivotal point in my career as I prepared to transition into a new role. At the time, I was experiencing a great deal of stress and uncertainty, and her guidance proved to be invaluable.

What I valued most was her ability to identify the underlying issues behind the challenges I believed I was facing. I initially thought that I needed to improve my communication skills. Through her thoughtful questions and insightful guidance, she helped me recognise that the real obstacle was not my communication, but my confidence and belief in my own abilities.”

C.B.P., Senior Leader, Red Cross International

“Maxine has a remarkable ability to create a safe, welcoming space where meaningful conversations can happen naturally. She listens with genuine care, asks insightful questions, and helps bring clarity to situations that may feel complex or overwhelming. Every session provides valuable insights and practical takeaways that I can immediately apply in both my professional and personal life.”

About Lois

Lois Barth is a Human Development Expert, Executive & Life Coach, speaker, and author of Courage to SPARKLE. An ICF-PCC certified Executive & Life Coach with advanced training in relationship coaching, career transition, anxiety management and gender work, she specializes in helping high-performing professionals lead with influence, practice self-advocacy, elevate executive presence and increase meaningful visibility—for themselves and their teams.

Lois has coached over 800 clients across 50 organizations worldwide, spanning healthcare, software, technology, finance, law, academia, nonprofits, professional associations, design and start-ups. Her speaking clients include Capital One, L’Oréal, NYU Langone, Women in Banking, Women in Trucking, the American Heart Association and the Entrepreneurial Organization. She has been quoted in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company and SELF Magazine.

She works with heart-centered go-getters and mission-driven leaders at all levels, as well as those navigating new manager roles, managing up effectively and becoming powerful communicators. She is particularly known for helping introverts and thoughtful leaders amplify their value in ways that feel organic rather than performative.

Coaching philosophy

Lois coined the phrase “Behavioral Wellness Meets Professional Development,” reflecting her belief that sustainable growth requires both mindset and methodology. Her philosophy is “stretch, don’t break”: growth should expand capacity, not exhaust it. She blends deep coaching, strategic consulting and mentorship to create forward momentum that feels both challenging and achievable.

Together with each client, she defines clear, tangible outcomes—for example, an introverted leader setting a goal of contributing three high-value insights per meeting—then tracks progress, refines the approach and celebrates wins. The result is increased visibility, stronger influence, reduced anxiety and leadership presence that feels earned rather than forced.

Her background as a massage therapist and actor informs a body-mind approach, and as a former stand-up comic she uses humor as a leadership tool, holding difficult conversations with warmth so people stay open instead of defensive.

What clients say

“I worked weekly with Lois for three months, and it is not an exaggeration to say it was life changing.”

About Jennifer

The question Jennifer hears most from clients is some version of “What should I do?” Underneath it, there’s usually a quieter one: “I don’t actually know what I want.” They’ve built a career, a life, and achieved goals, but they haven’t checked in with themselves in a while to see what really matters next. The direction they’re supposed to steer in has often become unclear and fuzzy. Add a belief like “I’m already supposed to have all the answers,” and they keep that uncertainty to themselves.

That’s where Jennifer comes in. She helps people pull those beliefs into the open and test them against what’s true today. Getting clear on values turns the next decision into something that feels like their own.

Coaching philosophy

Jennifer’s approach is strengths based. She starts with what’s already working, because that’s where people find their footing fastest. Most of the people she works with have spent years being told what to fix. It changes things when they get to look at what they do well and use it on purpose.

She trained at Erickson Coaching International, which uses a solution-focused method built on the idea that clients already have what they need. She doesn’t hand over answers. She asks questions that help people see their situation clearly and trust their own judgment.

When daily actions, priorities and values point the same way, the work gets lighter. People stop acting out of obligation and start moving with more confidence and clarity, and the results tend to follow.

What clients say

“Working with Jennifer has fundamentally changed how I approach challenges. Our conversations felt unstructured at the time, but looking back, I’ve become much better at having non-judgmental conversations with myself—and that’s been transformative. Through that shift, I can now interrogate my challenges instead of avoiding them, especially when I simply don’t know how to approach them.

What surprised me most was how our sessions became a ritual I didn’t know I needed. There were weeks I thought, ‘I just don’t feel in the headspace today,’ but these conversations became a moment of emotional integration before the weekend—a break, a boundary.

Jennifer gives me space—space to think, to feel, and to grow. That’s invaluable, especially during high-pressure moments like feedback cycles. I’m eager to continue working with her because of the clarity and tools she’s helped me develop.”

About Saroosh

Saroosh’s mentoring comes from the field, not the textbook: years of building products, leading teams, carrying pressure, fixing what broke, and learning what actually differentiates leaders. When you work with him, it is not a lecture from a script. It is deeper work around judgment, how you approach decisions, and the habits that shape how you build, with a roadmap you can carry after the mentoring.

Saroosh is the kind of leader he once needed. Born in Lahore, built in the Bronx, he turned an immigrant kid’s hunger for opportunity into a career most people only sketch on a vision board: Mphasis, JP Morgan Chase, Pfizer, Western Union, and a SaaS company of his own.

At JP Morgan, he helped drive the innovation behind Zelle, a peer-to-peer payments platform that became part of how tens of millions of Americans move money. At Pfizer, he engineered automation that gave scientists back the most precious resource they had: time. At Western Union, he helped simplify cross-border transactions for families who looked a lot like the one that raised him. Then he did what every operator eventually wonders if they can do—he bet on himself. As founder and CEO of Eventcombo, he built a SaaS platform that brought automation to the business of events.

But Saroosh’s story isn’t really about the logos on his résumé. It’s about what those logos taught him. Self-made is a beautiful phrase and a brutal apprenticeship. He learned the unglamorous mechanics of leverage, the loneliness of the founder’s chair, the politics of scaling inside large enterprises, and the difference between doing the work and building the systems that do the work for you. He learned how to win as an outsider—and how to keep his footing once he was on the inside.

Now he mentors the people climbing behind him.

“As we continue climbing the ladder, it is imperative we look behind ourselves and pull up others.”
