The Global StageSHIFT Coaching Community
All StageSHIFT Coaches have been immersed in an intensive and enriching StageSHIFT Coaching Certification and have been assessed at Synergist or beyond. We offer 3rd generation Transformative Coaching in Vertical Leadership Development to later stages of Synergist and Alchemist.
StageSHIFT Coaches are very experienced leadership coaches for senior executives and strategic leaders. Most have enjoyed highly successful global careers with experience across multiple disciplines and industry sectors. The growing number of 30 StageSHIFT Coaches are spread across 16 countries, with the majority in Europe. Not only are we highly qualified and experienced outstanding executive coaches, but we also perceive and interpret the world from a mature 4th or 5th Person Perspective (only 10% of executives), with 80% at Synergist and 20% at Alchemist.
Vertical learning takes the lid off the latent growth potential of leaders and promises significantly better and faster systemic outcomes in resolving today’s complex challenges. Later stage Synergist leaders hold the expanded consciousness to transcend VUCA, cut through complexity, inspire collaborative innovation and lead ecosystemic renewal to co-create a flourishing future for all in a more sustainable, healthy, equitable and joyful world.
StageSHIFT Coaching promises a proven accelerated pathway to this later stage of inspiring, visionary leadership at Synergist and onto Alchemist, attained by less than 10% of executives. The transformative StageSHIFT coaching approach has expedited single stage shifts for 80% of strategic leaders while 20% shift two stages after an average of 8 coaching sessions in just one year. Senior executives profiling at Synergist have only been growing at the rate of 1% per decade. StageSHIFT offers a proven, evidence-based, innovative, accelerated coaching/consulting approach.
StageSHIFT Programs are comprehensive in scope. They blend online learning with live online team and group coaching workshops. StageSHIFT can be customised and scaled to match the organisational context by blending e-learning with group coaching, executive team and individual executive coaching. We also offer the StageSHIFT Vertical Holistic Leadership Profile (VHLP), an automated and sophisticated 3D capability self-assessment to introduce leaders to instantly uplift their self-awareness and ignite their Vertical Development.
Our Visionary Purpose
We partner with executive leaders to inspire and accelerate a quantum vertical shift in conscious leadership capacity and effectiveness, embracing the opportunity in systemic complexity and rising volatility to co-create ore sustainable, healthy, and equitable business ecosystems where everyone and all of life flourishes.
Our Evolutionary Values
We are extraordinarily POWERFUL in our capacity to shape our world as we cultivate our aspirational Self. We value expanding our consciousness to later stages and higher and deeper levels of Vertical Holistic Leadership Development to bring more Peace, Openness, Wisdom, Evolution, Renewal, Freedom, Unity and Love into the world.
Our Distinctive Promise
We invite you to swiftly liberate your latent leadership potential, help you build a more visionary and purposeful high trust team, division and organization. With our proven templates, deep inquiry, and conscious presence, you will realize aspirational business outcomes where everyone enjoys the most fulfilling and meaningful lives they can imagine.

StageSHIFT Synergist+ Coaches
StageSHIFT Coaches have their centre of gravity at the later stage of Synergist and beyond held by less than 10% of executives. They therefore have the capacity to hold an expansive coaching space that enables strategic leaders to extend their depth of meaning-making and expedite their vertical development.
We adopt an explicit evidence-based transformative coaching approach. Transformative coaching is a quantum shift beyond developmental coaching. It involves asking leading questions as well as offering deeper insights and direct invitations to work with proven StageSHIFT techniques and frameworks.
StageSHIFT Coaching integrates vertical leadership development with enterprise evolution to enable and embed the shift to mature Synergist and liberate the latent potential of all leaders.
