3.Other business ventures

Max Walker has a diverse range of other business interests.   This scope extends from Public Relations, marketing and executive mentoring to manufacturing and multi-media tele-communications.

Willing to share his wisdom, lateral thinking, enthusiasm for life and love of learning, Max has amassed an amazing complex of connections as a mentee.   From consistent high achievers to those aspiring to make a mark, Max gives from the heart.   A few quiet words of direction – a business development meeting – a full scale counselling program – Max has all the bases covered in providing sound knowledge with warmth, sincerity, total conviction and total confidentiality.  He shows, by example, integrity lies at the heart of success.

In a corporate sense, Max can genuinely describe himself as an architect of change.   He is naturally curious, quick to grasp complex situations and has the uncanny ability to both attract and connect with empathy and intellect.

A wealth of experience gleaned in live television and radio stands Max in good stead too.   Several of his multi-million dollar public relation campaigns are iconic.   So too is his power to use story telling in his communications … mind maps in his illustrations.

Very few people are as well positioned as Max to bridge cultural gaps between countries and corporations – to engender quality leadership and sound business practices.

On a personal level, Max is a dedicated family man who enjoys leisure pursuits in the arts, photography, architecture, fine wines, collecting fountain pens and adventurous travel.    A patron of numerous charity organizations, Max has a philosophy of, ‘If you can, you must’.   It’s an ode he lives by.

Always willing to share ideas, enthusiastic and gregarious, Max was asked to describe his passion for expanding possibilities.

“I just remember … from idea to concept …  Imagination and Association plus Courage … that’s what equals Innovation.   Everything is easier when you know how.”
