"My time with Antoinette will forever have a positive impact on my approach to leadership. I found her perspectives to be thoughtful and insightful, and her connection with mind, body, spirit revolutionised my thinking and, most importantly, my actions. Antoinette helped me strengthen my ability to deliver a consistent vision personally and professionally; drive growth and development through people; encourage risk taking and accountability; and nurture self-awareness and reflective practice. Antoinette has a unique ability to recognise, understand and explain complex leadership issues and, along the way, there have been some surprising personal realisations. Her mentoring makes me a better person every day, both at work and at home. Attuning my inner self and harnessing my authenticity to be more innovative and strategic brought me unique opportunities as an Executive Director working in government. It awoke the inner warrior in me and enabled me to lead my organisation to success!"
"Antoinette is an extraordinary leadership coach who truly ‘listens’ from multiple levels. Her commitment to her own evolution and growth and her innate ability to access her vast inner wisdom and bring that forth into form to guide others is a beautiful and powerful gift. Couple this with her extensive knowledge and an established (and tried and tested) suite of leadership development tools and approaches – and the result can only be WOW! Antoinette helped me to create a passionate and powerful direction for the next part of my journey. She holds a nourishing space from which I have been able to reflect, rewind, rehearse and evolve. Antoinette, thank-you for shining so brightly. The world needs you!"
"I had the privilege of Antoinette supporting me recently in my goals to advance my career and was extremely impressed. Her ability to provide constructive feedback was invaluable and insightful from the first meeting. Our interactions allowed me to reflect on my purpose and consider a more holistic appreciation of my impact in the C-suite environment. She really invested in my success and I recommend her to others focused on extending themselves to realise their career aspirations."
"Antoinette is a master of motivation and spiritual wizardry! After every session, I leave feeling inspired and motivated with a sense of awe and wonder of my own unlimited potential. Her exuberant energy and zest for life is contagious yet she provides an architectural framework providing structure and support. How refreshing to have been blessed to have her as my executive coach and to share our life experience in the transformation of the soul."
"Antoinette is a sensitive, creative and highly gifted coach. Her ability to coach senior leaders through the strategic maze of government while they balance their personal development is her strength. She is an Executive Coach of the highest calibre."
"Occasionally we meet folks who bring a unique perspective to strategic situations, creating new thoughts, ideas and innovative thinking. Antoinette is one such person drawing on a wonderful knowledge and understanding of so many aspects of life and business."
"Antoinette’s Program is unique in that it takes a holistic approach to transformation. She is a collaborative intuitive whose depth of knowledge in leadership development is unsurpassed. Antoinette has clear insight into what drives workplace behaviours and how to make momentous changes in perspective. Her strong strategic focus, business acumen and gracious understanding of people mean that you will gain far more than you may expect!"
"I enjoy my coaching meetings with Antoinette principally because I find myself uncomfortable. She continually challenges my normalised way of thinking. The coaching is not a linear process. It’s emergent, disruptive and even disconcerting - that’s where the magic is. Antoinette considers things from a deeper dynamic perspective. Her focus on embracing our uniqueness is inspiring and amazingly effective."
You may be interested in continuing with StageSHIFT Coaching. It expedites the shift to uncommonly held later stages of leadership development for strategic leaders, executive teams and executive coaches in record time. Its distinguishing features are:
Most coaching approaches focus on strengths, emotional intelligence and developmental goals. These strategies are useful but not sufficient to expedite the shift to Strategist. StageSHIFT Coaching sets aspirational intent and resolves shadow at source to heal emotional triggers and resolve interpersonal issues within the psyche.
Most coaches work with the person, their responsibilities, relationships and identity. While this focus is highly valuable, it is not sufficiently systemic to enable the shift to Strategist. StageSHIFT Coaching transcends and transforms the work environment so that it becomes highly empowering, productive, accountable, engaging and effective.
Developmental coaching is humanistic and person-centric. Coaches ask open questions inviting the coachee to respond. This is effective but not sufficient to enable the shift to Strategist. StageSHIFT Coaching is a holistic transformative coaching partnership including guidance through leading questions and shared insights with a later stage coach.
