Maxime Coignard

Maxime Coignard is an author, executive coach, and speaker. For more than fifteen years, he has supported leaders, managers, and organizations in the areas of leadership, influence, and transformation.

His books explore the mechanisms of power, manipulation, self-sabotage, and inner change. Through both his essays and psychological thrillers, he focuses on what lies behind visible decisions: fears, beliefs, power dynamics, and the search for truth.

The author of several personal development and leadership books, translated into several languages, he has developed the C.L.E. method — Clarity, Reading, Emergence — at the heart of his approach to quiet leadership.

His thriller L’Ombre de Kira Goldstein combines geopolitical conspiracies, state secrets, and intimate wounds in a fast-paced story that takes readers from Singapore to Washington.

Across all his books, Maxime Coignard pursues the same ambition: to help people better understand the invisible forces that shape our choices, our relationships, and the way we exercise power.
