Transformative Leadership Coaching for CXO, Teams & Executive Leaders
Hi, I'm Dr Antoinette Braks, the Founder of StageSHIFT. Over 30 years ago, I focused my career on helping CEOs and Executive Leaders realize their potential and the highest aspirations for their organizations. My career as a Consultant leading Transformation, EGM leading People and Culture, and Executive Coach guiding hundreds of leaders, led to the powerful and proven, unique, fast-track StageSHIFT Coaching approach.
StageSHIFT Coaching is immersed in Vertical and Horizontal Leadership Development for CXO and Senior Executives who want to realize their intrinsic latent potential to become more visionary systemic leaders who can rise above the noise and be the calm in the centre of the storm. This is called becoming a SYNERGIST leader of an organization evolving to TEAL.
The StageSHIFT Coaching approach offers a proven accelerated pathway to this advanced level of SYNERGIST, held by less than 10% of Executive Leaders. It's precisely what's needed to lead large scale initiatives, navigate industry disruption, address interconnected socioeconomic issues, and lift collaborative productivity in an increasingly virtual 4DW workspace.
You'll learn how to set up the Systemic Strategic Scaffolding to lift your organization or part thereof, and enable everyone to take a step up in Team Accountability. You'll develop the courageous integrity to resolve unconscious and systemic bias, eliminate reactive patterns, and build a psychologically safe, empowering, focused, innovative, values-based culture.
Our approach is proven and rapid, systemic and holistic, transformative and sustainable. Client organizations of 1000 people have increased their Leadership Effectiveness by 20% within 2 years, while People Engagement has leapt by 30% in just 6-months. The business revenues of a 50-p trading company doubled after 3-months!
You'll be able to confidently implement our simple yet smart strategic frameworks and processes, or invite us to work directly with you. You'll be able to propel your career forward, expand your mindset, shape your destiny, lead the most fulfilling life you can imagine, and leave an amazing legacy.

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.

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.
