The 7 Engines of Vertical Growth Across Your 3 Power Zones


SYNERGIST Leadership Capacity enables you to transcend complexity and leverage disruption to co-create scalable systemic solutions. Less than 10% of executives hold this level of leadership capacity - it's the next frontier essential to renew today's fractured world.

The development of SYNERGIST Leadership capacity involves deepening and expanding the 7 Engines of Vertical Growth. These 7 Engines from Practices to Presencing are based on decades of research in Developmental Psychology.

Customize your evolutionary pathway based on StageSHIFT's proven model. It accelerates development to Synergist in 1-2 years - instead of the usual 5-6 provided the mentoring is effective.

What You'll Do

During Our Time Together

 
POWER ZONE 1

Activate your Emergent Power Zone to EVOLVE


To EVOLVE is to expand our conscious awareness through Attunement by setting Intention and paying Attention. This enables us to use our intuitive insight to see and resolve the underlying dynamics in complex systems.

Most of us plateau at the level of the people around us. To advance your level of conscious awareness and associated leadership capacity, we show you how to purposefully lean into your organic growth as a leader. 

POWER ZONE 2

Cultivate your Conscious Power Zone to FLOURISH


To FLOURISH is to live with ease and grace in abundance by trusting your own Agency. Learn how to lead collaboration and leverage conflict amongst colleagues and stakeholders to realize shared aspirations. 

Most organizational architectures place a ceiling on human growth and contain the opportunity for ecosystemic flourishing. We show you how to build the Systemic Strategic Scaffolding to scale sustainable growth.

POWER ZONE 3

Integrate your Shadow Power Zone to TRANSFORM


To TRANSFORM is to change at the heart of your identity with Empathy. This generates a warm, resonant leadership presence and new fields of possibilities that invite and enable us to transform the world around us.   

Most leadership programs do not diagnose and heal the source of emotional triggers and reactive patterns. We guide you to integrate your holistic self and foster forgiveness to arrive at a calm, clear, open mind. 

A Little About Me

Hi, I'm Antoinette Braks. 

I'm a eternal student, global traveler, parent of 3 and grandparent. I'm also a coach, consultant, writer, speaker, teacher, and entrepreneur. I live life to evolve. 

I've partnered with CEOs to lead business culture transformation, designed and facilitated leadership programs, and coached hundreds of executives.

My breakthrough PhD research distilled a pathway to embodied Synergist Leadership Capacity from the level of Achievist within 1-2 years, instead of the usual 5-6.

In recent years I've realized that later Stages of Leadership Development not only transcend and include earlier ones, they deepen and expand them too.

We need stronger, broader, deeper foundations to rise - just as a tree spreads its roots to extend its branches into the sky. The 7 Engines fuel our growth simultaneously.

“Loved every minute 
”

"Strengthening my grounding, attunement, and listening has become less about refining skills and more about expanding the quality of awareness I bring to each moment. The questions I now ask are less about solving dilemmas and more about illuminating the frames that shape those dilemmas.

The StageSHIFT Program and community have been pivotal in supporting this shift, offering a developmental container that challenges and stretches my perspectives while helping me deepen into a more conscious, fluid, and self‑transforming way of practicing. I loved every minute."

AIDEN CAWLEY Senior Leadership Team SIEMENS GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND

“... gale force wind blowing ...”

“Antoinette’s unique Program takes a holistic approach to transformation. She is a collaborative intuitive whose depth of knowledge in leadership development is unsurpassed. In a short period of time, she has galvanized everyone in a remarkable way. 

With clear insight into how to make momentous changes in perspective, her strong strategic focus, business acumen, and gracious understanding of people mean that you will gain far more than you may expect. Did I say there was a whiff of culture change in the air? Well, I mean there is a gale force wind blowing and the organization and its people are the ultimate winners.”

Anne Cosgrove Executive Director People & Culture Services NSW Australia

“Evolve to your next level ...”

"The StageSHIFT Program fundamentally transformed how I see myself and my 'world'. What made this experience truly exceptional was her ability to guide me through deep integration work, to do the genuine inner work that created another version of myself.

If you're serious about personal transformation and ready to develop vertically, Antoinette is exactly who you need. In addition to the extensive online resources, she combines rigor with compassion, responsiveness with commitment, and directness with genuine care so you can evolve to the next level."

Dr Helge Lippert Leadership Development Director AXPO Switzerland

Trying to Decide?

This is for you if...

  • you'd like to lift the leadership culture and performance of your team, division, organization, and business ecosystem.

  • you'd like to realize more of your latent potential and build a more confident and influential, inspiring leadership presence.

  • you'd like to rise above the chaos in the world and make a stronger positive difference among the communities you serve.

This is not for you if...

  • you're not willing to 'experiment' with our proven frameworks as implementation fuels growth and improves outcomes.

  • you're not curious about adjusting and re-engineering your inner world to generate profound shifts in your outer world.

  • you're not committed to investing consistently in your growth as it's a cumulative exercise that offers compound interest.
Need a Reason to Start?

Here are 3 Great Reasons

Reason One


INNER HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT involving deep shadow resolution to eliminate emotional triggers and reactive tendencies. Emotional regulation can only take you so far whereas deeper healing leaves you with a calm clear mind and magically shifts your outer life experience.

Reason Two


SYSTEMIC STRATEGIC SCAFFOLDING to expand the space for Vertical Growth. Without this, you'll constantly hit your organization's titanium ceiling. With this, you'll uplift your team's wellbeing and business performance as a visionary, inspiring, purposeful executive leader. 

Reason Three


POWERFUL TRANSFORMATIVE COACHING provided by advanced StageSHIFT Coaches who have developed the capacity to hold an expansive 'we-space' to access deep insights. You will find our direct, pragmatic, and loving coaching approach uplifting and liberating.

“Blown away 
”

“I am blown away and mesmerised by the devotion and amount of knowledge, research, techniques and tools that Antoinette has put together!

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, open heart and free soul for inner bliss and the greater good. I feel honored to be taught by her, proud to call her a colleague and grateful to have her in my life and work.

Antoinette is the most aspirational, knowledgeable and loving leader I have come across. She is the go-to thought leader, mentor and guide in the field of vertical development. Catch her and her program if you can - it might be the most uplifting decision of your life time.”

JESSICA Löwenhielm LEADERSHIP COACH 'WHOLLY YOURS' SWEDEN

“She freed me ...”

“Wow! Meeting and working with Antoinette has catapulted my development, I had felt stuck and boy has she freed me. Antoinette is not only one of the more knowledgable people I have come across in this field, she is also one of the most practical.

As a coach she is tough. compassionate and incredibly supportive, her attention to the shadow side of coaching makes a huge difference.

For all leaders who know and feel they can develop both themselves and their organizations so they can lead them through the volatile, chaotic, and uncertain world we find ourselves in, and deliver long term sustainable results, I cannot recommend StageSHIFT highly enough.”

IAN SELLICK LEADERSHIP COACH BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION UK

“Passionate, brilliant, fearless ...”

“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.

Relevant, purposeful leadership for me is about bringing conscious leadership and evolutionary organization development to serve not only employees and customers, but also future generations.

Antoinette’s brilliant intellect, her fearless consulting, her coaching and OD skills, have generated a suite of offerings suitable for coaches, OD consultants, and of course the senior-most leaders in organizations, who want to be a part of creating a healthy future with regenerative business practices.”
