Why I do what I do.
For over 15 years, I’ve been walking alongside leaders, talents, and changemakers – people who carry responsibility, but sometimes feel like dropping it all:
"I’m functioning… but honestly, why the hell am I even doing this?"
I help people rise again. Step back into their clarity. Into their energy.
Because I often see more in you than you can currently see in yourself – buried under stress and overwhelm.
And yes – I know what I’m talking about. Not just as an industrial engineer with a passion for psychology and neuroscience.
But because I’ve walked through deep valleys myself.
Lost my mom young. Built my business during a pandemic. Got divorced. Survived a brutal ski accident with 33 metal implants – and couldn’t walk for 9 months. Still got back on skis.
I live in a camper van. I wash my dishes by hand. And I know how to carry myself when no one else does – or when you can’t see who does.
Today, I say this with a whole lot of gratitude:
I’ve coached over 7,000 people – from some of the most well-known companies out there.
And I’ve seen it all. Seriously. All of it.

I'm Terry – pretty sure only the tax office still calls me Theresa Maxeiner
Let's create something unforgettableWhat drives me?
When you grow inside and rise while I’m speaking.
When something inside you shifts – and your eyes light up again.
When you look at me and suddenly remember who you are – and what you’re here for.
This isn't some fluffy feel-good nonsense. No Tschakka. No "corporate cheese with coffee & croissants“.
You can do that… but let’s be honest: you know how that ends.
I go deep. I go real. And I love turning that one moment into something that sticks – with you and your audience.
Something that gets things moving.
For you. And your very own upward spiral.
