ARRANGE A DISCOVERY MEETING WITH DR ANTOINETTE BRAKS
Antoinette is one of only three Thought Leaders I know who credibly and passionately integrates business and spirituality. It’s rare, it’s profound, and it’s much needed in the world today. Her brilliant intellect, fearless consulting, coaching and OD skills, have generated a great suite of offerings for coaches, OD consultants, and of course the senior-most leaders in organisations, who want to be a part of creating a healthy future with regenerative business practices.
- Emma Pearson, Transformative StageSHIFT Leadership Coach and Consultant
It has been a true privilege to have Antoinette as my guide, coach and teacher along this journey. 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. I guess that's how words become poetic, and experiences become magical. I am honoured to be part of her community.
- Thomas Bjerkhede, Transformative StageSHIFT Leadership Coach and Consultant
Antoinette has a unique style and approach, and I'd emphasize her discernment and the ability to beautifully conceptualize complex ideas and get to the very core of the things. I am fascinated with the methodology that she created and with her constantly inquiring mind and lightness. Another unique thing is the community of late stage coaches and the depth of conversation that I rarely experience anywhere else.
- Ekaterina Surkova, Transformative StageSHIFT Leadership Coach and Consultant
GREAT TO MEET YOU!
Hi, I'm Antoinette Braks,
Founder of StageSHIFT.
I enable Senior Executives and their Teams become much more effective business leaders quickly. They learn to rise above systemic complexity to master their inner self, find their voice, develop strategic focus, scale their business, and lead a more fulfilling life. Clients have increased their Leadership Effectiveness by 20% in 1-2 years, increased People Engagement by 30% in 6-months, and doubled their Business Revenues after just 3 months.
In terms of credentials, I am a Master Certified Executive Coach with over 8,000 hours of Individual, Group and Team Coaching Experience with Senior Executives and Coaches following a 30-year global corporate career with Shell and Korn Ferry. I hold a PhD in Leadership Psychology, an MBA from London Business School, and an inter-systemic evolutionary Alchemist mindset. As author of Executive Coaching in Strategic Holistic Leadership (McGraw Hill 2020), I offer an adaptive, innovative and collaborative approach to Vertical Development and was honoured to win the CEO Award for Leadership Coaching 2020.
My career has always been important to me. I’ve been a bit of a crusader. This has enabled me to excel and also got me into hot water from time to time. I've learned how to bridge opportunity with reality, to align my passions, principles and purpose with the deeply transformative and systemic work I do with people. I am becoming more patiently aspirational, gently provocative, and humbly tenacious.
More than 50 highly qualified and equally committed and experienced Executive Coaches with international corporate careers behind them, have become certified as Transformative StageSHIFT Coaches. Located all around the world, we offer the distinct advantage of the mature Synergist or Alchemist Mindset. We embody a level of consciousness that offers deep personal inquiry, systemic dynamic meaning-making and a heartfelt presence to guide your leadership journey to become more.

BUSINESS CASE STUDIES
Extraordinary Results Faster
Restructures on a horizontal level will tweak strategic focus but they won't transform the organization's capacity to realize more purposeful aspirations. As Einstein said, we cannot solve problems at the level they're created.
Our VISIONARY PURPOSE is to partner with strategic leaders to inspire and accelerate a quantum vertical shift in leadership capacity and effectiveness so we can cut through complexity and rise above volatility to co-create more sustainable, healthy and equitable business ecosystems where everyone flourishes.
With StageSHIFT, you can enable your clients to take their division or organization from Amber and Orange, to include Green and Teal at cross-boundary and upper levels (see diagram), so that everyone gets to level up and realize their latent inner potential! You can show them how to build a new upper level for the most Senior Executives and create the open space for everyone to rise to their latent potential.
In one 1,000-person organization, the collective Leadership Effectiveness of the top 75 leaders increased by 20% within 21-months of restructuring. In another, People Engagement leapt by 30% in just 6-months during an extensive merger of centralized business services. In a third 50-p trading business, revenues doubled within 6-months!
Our integrated approach to Vertical Strategic Holistic Development for Executive Leaders, Leadership Teams, Organizations, Regions, and Stakeholders, generates extraordinary results fast!

Without her firm, generous, friendly, thought-provoking, heart-opening and soul-freeing guidance, support and coaching throughout the program I wouldn’t be where I am today: totally on purpose with a big mind, open heart, free soul for inner bliss and the greater good.
I was preparing myself to be the solid holding space for CEOs and strategic leaders and knew I needed to do that specialised inner work with someone who is very established at a mature stage of consciousness.
I notice that I bring more rigour, courage and crystal-clear intent in my coaching practice in recent months. I highly recommend StageSHIFT if you are a coach who aspires to expand your capacity to contribute to the evolution of your client leaders and their enterprises.

FROM EXECUTIVE CLIENTS
Impromptu Reflections
"I was quite attached to what I was doing, cause and effect and it will happen. And then to come up that notch, it's like being in water where you can't touch the bottom. Treading water is reinforcing that I'd better get used to this floating feeling. Even enjoying the process, it's not painful, just disconcerting. I think I've got more energy because of it, I’m feeling great!"
"Now surfing the chaos. Starting to get it, a very different person from what I used to be ... Confident, relaxed, calm and self-assured. Giving up control, giving up striving, surrender is a key thing to progress, a new architecture internally. Life is completely taken care of. This is a new way of being."
"Finding myself with more free time ... I now have time to synthesize: what’s my position going to be in the next meeting? More influential in meetings? Yes, absolutely."
"I was always intolerant of fools and cranky with idiotic people behaving badly ... Realizing that whatever happens in their life, they are trying to do the best they can. Huge shift ... Biggest shift of all!"
"Team members are starting to collaborate and starting to listen and consult more. I'm becoming really good with the collaborative stuff, finding the intersections, common ground ... building trusted relationships."
"There's a new sense of commitment and dedication to the bigger picture, and the challenging possibility of really realizing an aspirational purpose."
"My approach is successful, meeting every timeframe to the day. Tore down the transactional framework to focus on relationships. It’s unheard of to hit deadlines as consistently as this. Met every single deliverable on time every time. Our key supplier relationship evolved into a real partnership."
"Since our conversations, there are places I've gone to as a leader, that I would've have been blind to in the past. Really tuning into me, has allowed me to hold crucial conversations. Team members have been in tears because they're learning things that are fundamental to who they are. Authenticity breeds authenticity. Me growing is causing their growth!"
The StageSHIFT from a high performing superman leader at Achievist (3rd Perspective) to a high-trust-team-performance-culture leader at Synergist (4th), involves quantum shifts in Mindset. To become a high performing leader @Achievist, we shift from a Fixed to a Growth Mindset; to become a high trust team performance leader @Synergist, we shift from an Agile, Curious Mindset to a Calm, Clear, Open and Collaborative Mindset.
I will be forever grateful to Antoinette for enabling me to fully grasp the vastness, importance and grandness of vertical development, yet making it easy to start infusing and transforming my own work with clients. Catch her program if you can - it might be the most uplifting decision in your life.
- Jessica Lowenhielm, Transformative StageSHIFT Leadership Coach
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, leading directly into culture change.
- Paul Smith, Transformative StageSHIFT Executive Coach
Through her collaborative, uplifting and deeply thought provoking approach, Antoinette challenged me to enquire deeply into my own development, examine my coaching practice and articulate concepts and ideas that had been just beyond my reach. It lifted my consciousness to another level. If you aspire to transformative change, Antoinette's work is brilliant - and the world needs more of it!
- Heather Monro, Transformative StageSHIFT Leadership Coach

In these trying times the smooth day-to-day running of civic affairs is disrupted. Thus, it is more urgent than ever that more mature leaders and visionaries 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 post-conventional capacities: 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, Vertical Development Pioneer. Strategic Adviser & Research Director VDA
If executive coaching can support 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 become a transformational dialogue; a holistic path that can humanise our world.
- Richard Stelter, Author of 3rd Generation Coaching, Professor of Coaching Psychology, Copenhagen University
This is a much-needed, research-based book that shares crucial tools and techniques for coaches that are proven to move clients through the levels of developmental maturity.
- Maureen Metcalf, Founder & CEO, Innovative Leadership Institute USA
Braks’ brilliant work, supported by her research, has focused on a piv- otal arc in the developmental spectrum – the capacity of our leaders and coaches to take a mature, fourth person 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 badly needed in our troubled world – 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.
