About

We’re working to create a world where every human thrives – one person, one workplace at a time.

Max Haus envisions a society where DEI is an undisputed reality and way of life.

We are on a mission to empower people and organizations to create lasting change by designing and delivering custom-tailored solutions that advance equity and inclusion in the modern workplace. We believe creativity, compassion, and courage must be embraced in all aspects of life for our collective flourishing and transformation. That’s why we are committed to providing comprehensive, people-centered, data-driven consulting and professional services to organizations striving to build inclusive cultures that drive positive change.

We love working with corporate, community, and individual partners committed to this transformative – sometimes tough – work. Is that you? If so, let’s get to work!

Our team understands that diversity, equity, and inclusion can be powerful catalysts for growth and innovation. In this work, values matter and determine your outcomes. That's why we prioritize the right values from day one.

 
  • We understand that DEI can be challenging. We also know that fear and resentment rarely lead to good decision-making. So, we invite clients to approach every engagement with a sense of curiosity and creativity from day one. We are a collective of consultants, executive coaches, strategists, educators, advisors, data nerds, nonprofit leaders, podcasters, artists, and more. But we are all creatives at heartwho desire to create beauty and transformation in the world. 

  • At Max Haus, we regularly remind ourselves that we are human before any other label we may embrace. Our team brings this same spirit to client engagements. We bring decades of experience in clinical psychology, behavioral/mental health, spiritual direction, and organizational psychology. This helps us ensure every assessment, recommendation, and solution prioritizes the well-being and empowerment of the people who power your business.

  • Our team brings decades of executive leadership and relied on data for decision-making. We approach our work with a deep commitment to utilizing cross-culturally validated tools, extensive research, and peer-reviewed data to help people address systemic barriers, individual/organizational biases, and structural inequities that often hinder productivity and generate uncollaborative, untrusting work environments. Our holistic, data-driven approach inspires organizations to create environments where all individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents with courage and authenticity.

Our bench runs deep - put us in, coach!

We are a collective of consultants with extensive experience in human resources, public health, psychology, change management, policy creation/revision, grant writing, program development, operations, employee recruitment/retention, enrollment management, and so much more.
