VERTICAL SYSTEMIC TEAM DYNAMICS C0ACHING
VSTD StageSHIFT Coaching Certification
VSTD Coaching enables a shift from a messy complex adaptive system without direction or resonance, to the organic coherence, majestic synergy, of a migrating flock of birds. This is of course a cumulative growth process over time that invites, and I suggest, further accelerates, the Vertical Leadership Development of each person to Catalyst and Synergist.
The team creates the traction with their interactions. They are invited to appreciate these in relation to team psychodynamics, shadow resolution and personal evolution.
Vertical Systemic Team Dynamics Coaching generates:
- Outer Strategic Alignment
- Inner Holistic Congruence leading to
- Organic Team Coherence, supporting a
- Leadership Culture Evolution.
The intermediate outcomes are the ability to build collective capacity for co-creative intelligence to enable systemic evolutionary outcomes. This involves co-sensing, co-emerging, and co-evolving. The expanded quantum field within which each person and the team as a whole, begins to sense, listen into, probe, and respond consciously to, fuels and fuses their life experiences with greater meaning and purpose.
This will facilitate business outcomes such as increased Leadership Effectiveness, People Engagement, Collaborative Innovation, Sustainability Outcomes, and Culture Evolution. The Vertical Systemic Team Dynamics Coaching Program forms a part of the StageSHIFT Vertical Leadership Culture Evolution Program. The VLCEP promises a 20% increase in each of these performance indicators.
I STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP
Building Outer Strategic Alignment and Inner Structural Cohesion based on 3 Underlying Principles. This creates the open collaborative architecture that leads to the opportunity to develop Inner Team Coherence through the flow of consciousness intent on our evolution, like a united flock of migrating birds.
II SYSTEMIC AWARENESS
Developing Perception Awareness, Personal Awareness of Resonance and Dissonance, to cultivate Self-Awareness and lift Perspective Awareness. Integrating the StageSHIFT Vertical Model of Conscious Evolution with Systemic Team Dynamics Coaching leads not only to Resolution but beyond this to Mutual Evolution.
PART I STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP
1. Three Underlying Principles
Three principles that underlie systemic interpersonal and shadow dynamics are our interconnectedness with each other, the quantum field of consciousness, and the continuous unfolding of emergence.
2. Outer Strategic Alignment
Outer strategic alignment is realized by developing a shared purposeful aspirational intent, evolutionary values and a concerted team-based approach to realizing quantum shifts in sustainable performance.
3. Systemic Engagement
Once you have a shared destination, inner team coherence is only possible with inner structural cohesion. This facilitates orchestrated yet emergent collaborative innovation across stakeholders.
Anne Cosgrove, ED People & Culture Businesslink
The StageSHIFT Program is unique in that it takes a holistic approach to transformation. Antoinette is a collaborative intuitive whose depth of knowledge in leadership development is unsurpassed. In a short period of time, she has galvanized the organisation in a way that is remarkable. 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.
Pat Richards, CEO Businesslink
Antoinette was an engaging, skilful, intelligent, challenging and enthusiastic person to work with. She integrated many new initiatives to transform our culture creating momentum from which results soon flowed. The terrific speed of success was due to her great ability to engage with the leaders. She was a vital source of energy and inspiration in setting our new course and getting us going!
Michael Bullen, DG Agriculture
Antoinette instigated a terrific collaboration with us by leading a Strategic Off-Site for our new Executive Team. It was an invigorating two-day session to set our strategic direction and the leadership culture we wanted. Antoinette led a CONFIDENT Leaders Program that enabled the top 75 leaders become more self-aware and develop the courageous authenticity and accountability to uplift our performance.
Her broad strategic perspective and deep insights into mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and personal power, created a significant shift in our ability to collaborate with our business partners to build a sustainable agricultural sector.
PART II SYSTEMIC AWARENESS
4. Perception Awareness
Increasing our Perception Awareness relates to learning to Act with Cognizance by seeing more broadly, deeply, and systemically into shadow team dynamics. The sharpening of our Perception enables us to Consciously Grow.
5. Personal Awareness
Enhancing our Personal Awareness relates to appreciating our inner experience, somatically, emotionally, cognitively, and intuitively, to learn to embrace difference and uniqueness. This enables us to Willingly Flow.
6. Perspective Awareness
Expanding our Perspective Awareness relates to embracing uncertainty as a quantum field of possibilities as we learn to trust in emergence. The expanding consciousness of an open mind and harmony of heart enables us to Openly Know.
