Learn to shine, thrive and deliver results without burnout.

Developing Individuals and Organizations for Outstanding Results

Hello and welcome to Make Time Count (MTC) where we help you do well and be well.

I’m Dr Magdalena Bak-Maier, MTC Founder and Chief Architect, neuroscientist, productivity expert and top performance coach. I founded MTC to empower people just like you to follow their hearts, trust their inspiration and walk their own path. My work helps people reshape their lives, how they work and lead, and how they create results in a way that honors the human spirit. I believe that:

success comes from within,
human beings are not machines and our nervous system is here to help us thrive,
our best collective and individual results rely on the elimination of conflict between the mind, heart, body and spirit.

All MTC work focuses on helping people be true to themselves as this is the source of inspiration, power and satisfying results. When we’re aligned within, we tap brilliance and bring out the best in others. Being aligned helps us be whole, self-loving and responsive to an ever-changing world.

At MTC we integrate neuroscience and positive psychology with my original approaches to productivity, well-being, leadership development, and conflict resolution to empower individuals and organizations. With us you shine, thrive and deliver results while feeling good.

A better world starts one heart and mind at a time, and we all need support. I invite you to explore the site to see how we can help you make time count.
