Schupbach, Ph.D. is the president of Maxfxx
Inc., which is based in Portland, Oregon. He uses a
facilitative approach in his work as a consultant, executive
level coach, trainer and public speaker. Organizational
transformation, personal growth, and professional development
are inseparable. These disciplines need not be taught;
they are inherent in our natures. Worldwork is an approach
that connects individuals and organizations to that
natural innate tendency, and supports personal and collective
awareness for discovering emerging directions. Max is
a Certified Process Worker and a senior faculty member
of the Process Work Center of Portland. He is part of
the original group that founded the first Process Work
Centers in Switzerland and the United States, and has
co-founded Process Work training programs in over 15
countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia and North
America. The vast diversity of his clientele includes
Fortune 100 corporations and small businesses, large
NGO’s and local grassroots movements, and government
agencies and political parties. He conducts a Masterfacilitation
Course for individual consultants and consulting groups
such as PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Max coaches executive level managers
of businesses and non-profit organizations, as well
as politicians running for and holding state and federal
offices.
He also facilitates community building
among indigenous groups in Australia and North America,
and in spiritual groups of various denominations. He
has facilitated conflict resolution sessions in many
different environments, such as maximum security prisons,
Yugoslavian refugee camps with Serbians and Croats,
and once in a stand-off between squatters and the police.
He has conducted open town forums worldwide
on a variety of topics. He has appeared in radio and
television programs, and is a sought after keynote speaker
for international conferences. He was named a keynote
presenter at the Conference for Science and Ethics in
Business with the futurist Hazel Henderson and the former
president of Poland, Lech Walensa. He is the founder
and president of CITYWORK, an organization that facilitates
Worldwork processes in connection with urban development
in a variety of ways, for example by creating alliances
between corporations, city administration, disenfranchised
groups, and other stakeholders. Presently, he is researching
and teaching methods for applying Worldwork for strategy
development and implementation in association with several
business schools, such as the Business School of the
University of Stellenbosch, South Africa.
