I will be forever grateful to Antoinette for enabling me to fully grasp the vastness, importance and grandness of vertical development, making it easy to start infusing and transforming my own work with clients. Taking her Program might be the most uplifting decision in your life. 

Thomas Bjerkhede

She is one of the most extraordinary human beings I have met. An inspiring person with a remarkably sharp intellect, lots of love, tons of professional experience, combined with an even more remarkable wisdom and spiritual consciousness.

Emma Pearson

Antoinette is one of only three Thought Leaders I know who credibly and passionately integrates business and spirituality. It's rare and profound, and much needed today. Her brilliant intellect, fearless consulting and coaching has created a great suite of offerings.

Marianne Borg Hyokki

This is not only Coach training, it is most of all a developmental program for myself while I simultaneously learn about vertical development and how to support my clients to grow and mature. The videos, written material, and webinars are full of interesting stuff guiding me to think about myself, my thinking, reactions and behaviour at the core of myself. Antoinette supports in a loving and peaceful way and challenges me to dive deeper.

Jenny Hoffman

The StageSHIFT Coaching Certification Program is a beautifully designed map illuminating the path for vertical evolution. There are absolutely loads of models and frameworks Antoinette elegantly weaves together providing a thorough theoretical backdrop for learning. The small group format provides a safe space to challenge yourself supported by  generous and powerful coaching to accelerate your learning, growth, and development.

Valerie Gleeson

The StageSHIFT Program has been one of the most rewarding programs I have ever undertaken. Antoinette has developed a truly amazing program which takes Coaching Certification to another level - Transformative Coaching. While my 30 years' corporate experience is rich and varied, it expanded my capacity at an accelerated pace developing a level of conscious awareness which is hugely complementary to my previous areas of study.

Paul Smith

I feel and believe strongly that this is "the real deal" in executive leadership development. As a humble attempt, I would say that it is unrivalled in its blend of science and applied wisdom, and in the inner more conscious self that evolves in embodied leadership presence.

Ekaterina Surkova

Antoinette has a unique style and approach. I'd emphasize her discernment and the ability to beautifully conceptualize complex ideas and get to the very core of things. I am fascinated with her methodology and her constantly inquiring mind and lightness.

Corinna Kingston

StageSHIFT offers an introspective inquiry whilst simultaneously developing our intervention skills to guide leaders to pivot and be far more impactful. Antoinette's deep knowledge, practical expertise, and utter passion for her subject is awe-inspiring.

Terri O'Fallon

Antoinette Braks' brilliant work, supported by her research, has focused on a pivotal arc in the developmental spectrum - the capacity of our leaders and coaches to take a mature, 4th Perspective. She has accessed the most salient aspects of different developmental models to create an effective, practical and grounded approach for guiding those who are ready, opening their eyes to the next generation of coaching and leading. This is much needed in a world that is hungry for new eyes that will see what is not yet seen, and heal hidden dilemmas that have not yet been identified.

Susanne Cook-Greuter

In these trying times of an unprecedented global health crisis, the smooth day-to-day running of civic affairs is disrupted. Thus, it is more urgent than ever before that mature leaders are at the helm of societies and corporations. As the speed and reach of global change and challenge in all areas of life is increasing, it becomes vital that more people develop the ability to take multiple perspectives, think systemically, consider the long-term effects of decisions and base them on the best available scientific evidence. This book offers a path to help leaders acquire these later stage characteristics.

Reinhard Stelter

As executive coaching supports the transformation from Achievist to Synergist as this book lays out, it will become much more than the support towards achieving the next goal on the career ladder. It will instead become a transformational dialogue: a holistic path that can humanize our world.

Maureen Metcalf

This is a much-needed, research-based book that shares crucial tools and techniques for coaches proven to move clients through the levels of developmental maturity.

Niklas Lindhardt

Antoinette, what a blessing that the fabric of life weaved your thread into my weave. The StageSHIFT Program is the most comprehensive I've ever seen, linking relevant frameworks in organizations, human development, psychology, and life as a whole, refining our Transforming Leader Programs in large industry, for even better results. Thank you for openheartedly sharing your personal experience and soul nuances with me on our journey.

Jacqueline van Paassen

Antoinette's profound and rare capacity to inspire developmental movement in individuals, teams, and the wider community is remarkable. She is part of a class of brilliant, humble human beings who invite you to fully meet yourself, your shadows and unfolding potential, simply by their presence and capacity to hold that space. Her unique, well-researched body of work enables leaders to integrate business and human development.

Anne Cosgrove

The StageSHIFT Program is unique in that it takes a holistic approach to transformation. Antoinette is a collaborative intuitive whose depth of knowledge in leadership development is unsurpassed. In a short period of time, she has galvanized the organization in a way that is remarkable. Did I say there was a whiff of culture change in the air? There is a gale force wind blowing and the organization and its people are the ultimate winners!

Greg Ellis

I enjoy my coaching meetings with Antoinette principally because she continually challenges my normalized 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.

Gary Groves

I found Antoinette's perspectives to be thoughtful and insightful, and her connection with mind, body, spirit revolutionized my thinking, and my actions. She has a unique ability to  recognize, understand, and explain complex leadership issues. Attuning my inner self and harnessing my authenticity to be a more innovative and strategic leader awoke the inner warrior within me.

Pat Richards

Antoinette was an engaging, skilful, intelligent, challenging, and enthusiastic person to work with. She integrated many new initiatives to transform our culture creating momentum from which results soon flowed. The terrific speed of success was due to her great ability to engage with our leaders. She was a vital source of energy and inspiration in setting our course and getting us going!

Karin Hamrin

Antoinette is one of the most brilliant coaches I have ever experienced. Being both gentle and direct, intuitive and clear, she generously and courageously shares her wisdom and insights. Antoinette, it's a truly amazing experience, being guided and coached by you, in the spiritually connected space where you and I meet. 

Sharifah Raudhah AlQudsy

Without her firm, generous, friendly, thought-provoking, heart-opening and soul-freeing guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today: totally on purpose with a big mind and open heart. Antoinette is the most aspirational, knowledgeable and loving leader I have come across. She is the go-to thought leader, guide in vertical development.

Heather Monro

The Program was indeed transformative. Through her collaborative, uplifting and deeply thought provoking approach, Antoinette challenged me to enquire deeply into my own development and articulate concepts and ideas that were just beyond my reach. It lifted my consciousness to another level. Her work is brilliant!
