Transcend the Turmoil and Cut through Complexity
Current disruptive change demands the renewal of liberating strategic business frameworks so that everyone is engaged, encouraged and empowered to collaborate across boundaries and synergise to design and deliver on shared aspirational outcomes.
Trust Emergence to Navigate Uncertainty
By cultivating inner identity, exploring power psychodynamics, resolving shadow and establishing a consistent Dynamic Operating Rhythm, leaders can reduce time pressures, eliminate triggers, navigate interpersonal issues, optimise creativity and double productivity.
Transform Your World with Strategic Ingenuity
Invest in expanding your leadership capacity to take more radical responsibility for self, others and the community, to invite and leverage everyone's collective genius. StageSHIFT Programs uplift leaders and whole organisations to thrive and flourish amidst disruption.
Join the 2020 Research: What's Your Altitude?
Previous research shows that less than 10% of executive leaders have attained the level of Synergist where they can transcend disruption, transform their industry and reinvent their business model. Synergist leadership capacity is growing at a snail's pace of 1% per decade.
Register for this Research Study to discover where global leaders are today and what you can do immediately to make a quantum shift in your leadership capacity. All profiles will be held in the strictest of confidence. Only aggregate data by country and industry will be presented externally. You will receive a copy of the summary and full report as soon as they become available.
“This is a much-needed, research-based book that has already helped me to refine my coaching!”
—Maureen Metcalf, Founder & CEO, Innovative Leadership Institute
"Antoinette Braks shows us how executive coaching can become a transformational dialogue; a holistic path that can humanise our world.”
—Reinhard Stelter, Professor of Coaching Psychology, University of Copenhagen
“It is more vital than ever before that leaders develop the ability to take multiple perspectives, think systemically, consider the long-term effects of decisions and base them on the best of available scientific evidence – this book offers a path to help leaders acquire these later stage characteristics.”
—Susanne Cook-Greuter, Strategic Advisor & Research Director, Vertical Development Academy
Antoinette’s brilliant work creates an effective, practical and grounded approach to guide coaches and leaders in a pivotal arc in the developmental spectrum to see what is not yet seen and heal underlying hidden dilemmas not yet identified.

SPIRIT & SHADOW WORK
Most coaching approaches focus on strengths, soft skills, emotional intelligence and developmental goals. These strategies are useful but not sufficient to expedite the shift to Synergist.
StageSHIFT Coaching invites aspirational intent and resolves shadow at source to eliminate emotional triggers and appreciate interpersonal psychodynamics to enable inspiring, systemic, visionary, synergistic leadership.
ORGANISATION EVOLUTION
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 Synergist.
StageSHIFT Coaching guides the strategic leader to transform that part of the workplace for which they're responsible to generate a highly empowering, values-based, psychologically safe and respectful diverse culture.
TRANSFORMATIVE COACHING
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 Synergist.
StageSHIFT Coaching is a form of 3rd generation coaching. It is a holistic transformative coaching partnership including guidance through leading questions and shared insights with a later stage coach who has the presence to hold expansive emergent space.
