Introducing Max Haus: Creating More Inclusive Futures through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Atlanta, Georgia | In a world grappling with the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion and how to implement these principles amid political polarization, organizations across industries seek guidance and strategies to foster inclusive workplace cultures that empower people and teams to thrive. Today, we are excited to unveil Max Haus, a leading, innovative consulting group dedicated to helping businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations navigate the dynamic landscape of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to create a more just world for all.
Max Haus is founded on the belief that diversity and inclusion are moral imperatives and nonnegotiable commitments for anyone serious about innovation, growth, and long-term success. With a team of nationally recognized DEI experts, creators, and thought leaders, Max Haus is committed to partnering with organizations to design and implement comprehensive, proven DEI strategies custom-tailored to address their organizational mission, goals, and particularities.
Max Haus deploys a holistic, collaborative, people-centered, and data-driven approach when working with clients. Customized solutions that align with each client’s mission, values, and goals are the priority. We recognize that diversity initiatives cannot get by on vibes alone. Our services span the entire DEI spectrum, empowering organizations at all stages of their diversity journey. From conducting comprehensive diversity assessments and crafting inclusive policies and practices to delivering impactful training programs and facilitating courageous conversations, Max Haus offers a range of solutions designed to foster cultural transformation and nurture a workplace where every person is respected and celebrated.
The consulting group is led by Brandon T. Maxwell, a nationally recognized, prolific DEI trailblazer with nearly two decades of experience as a senior executive, strategist, and trusted advisor to industry leaders.
“Ensuring people from historically minoritized populations is in my DNA; I come from a long line of community organizers and advocates for social change,” said Brandon, noting his family history of championing DEI in communities and organizations. “My grandfather, Henry Chester Maxwell, Sr., fought for DEI before we had that language,” he reflected. “He worked tirelessly to ensure Black and brown children in Metro Nashville Public Schools had equitable access to education and is widely credited with being the primary catalyst for integrating that school district.” Brandon also noted that it was important to recruit people who understood that DEI is not new; rather, it is an extension of the work initiated by abolitionists, suffragists, queer activists, and liberation workers throughout time.
LaTeisha Elliott, DBH, is a clinical researcher with a doctorate in behavioral health and a consultant with Mas Haus. Dr. Elliott brings 22 years of experience in healthcare, grant writing, program development, education, and community advocacy to the collective.
“When invited to join Max Haus, I agreed without hesitation,” exclaimed Elliott. “As a licensed psychotherapist, I have helped clients navigate personal and professional challenges stemming from a lack of DEI competencies in their workplaces,” Elliott continued noting the importance of an “integrative and intersectional approach to DEI that considers both human and organizational psychology in every client engagement.”
Max Haus distinguishes itself through its commitment to authenticity, empathy, and transparency. We recognize that creating meaningful change requires more than just checking boxes or implementing tokenistic measures. Each consultant brings their expertise, empathy, and cultural competency to every engagement, ensuring our clients feel supported and empowered throughout the DEI process. We facilitate open and honest dialogue, challenging unconscious biases and providing actionable insights to drive sustainable change.
In addition to client partnerships, our team regularly contributes to the broader community. We engage in research, collaborate with thought leaders, and advocate for policies that advance diversity and inclusion on a societal level. By driving change within organizations and beyond, we strive to create a more equitable society where equity and justice are unchallenged ways of life.
As we embark on this transformative journey, we invite people and organizations to join us in building a more inclusive future. Let's embrace diversity, champion equity, and create inclusive workplaces – together.
