Maxine Jones is an author and an international personal and professional coach who specializes in uncovering the power of the soul to develop a person's achievement, fulfillment and heart-centered success. Her life's work is about helping people connect with the deepest part of themselves so they can transcend the ordinary struggle of life and participate in creating a greater world for all of us.
Since 1982, she has worked with individuals as well as large corporations, unlocking that hidden dialogue that changes a person's life forever.
Maxine started her career as a marketing/advertising executive at one of the largest firms in Chicago. In the late 1990s she worked with Fortune 100 companies to research the impact of gender-based physiological differences on organizations, leadership, performance and achievement. Through her seminars and retreats for executive clients, she enabled organizations to improve the contribution of women in the workplace.
She left the corporate world to pursue a career that would better match her dedication to higher education and spirituality. Since then, Maxine has trained people in yoga, massage, health and wellness, and wilderness survival skills. She was appointed to study and teach Native American culture. She was selected as a Fulbright Scholarship candidate to work in secondary education in Tanzania. She participated in Kenya on an ecological initiative with the Smithsonian Institution and also initiated, developed and implemented a humanitarian project in Botswana.
Maxine realized her special intuitive powers when she was a young child and communicated with an imaginary friend she later came to know was her soul. She was raised by two highly educated parents who inspired her to pursue her dreams. Her mother was a theologian, metaphysician and dietitian, and her father was an international transportation engineer. When she was very young, Maxine met an African elder who became her mentor. Meanwhile, she trained for the Junior Olympics in gymnastics. She also earned state championship titles in swimming and diving and became an avid tennis player. Today she is a certified scuba diver.
Maxine is trained in nursing and holds a bachelor of science in psychology and a master's in human resource development and education from DePaul University. She has delivered keynotes and led seminars and retreats on health and psychology to audiences as small as 30 and as large as 1,500. Today she delivers customized presentations, seminars and retreats on the power of the soul. Her books include Desperately Seeking Purpose: Uniting Generations in Global Consciousness and Stretch Your Wings and Fly: A Guide to Using the Power of Your Soul.
