Introduction to Vertical Holistic Leadership Development

Karin Hamrin, Exec Coach

Antoinette is one of the most brilliant coaches I have ever experienced. Being both gentle and direct, intuitive and clear, she generously and courageously shares her wisdom and insights.

Antoinette, it's been a truly amazing experience, being guided and coached by you, in the spiritually connected space where you and I meet.

The StageSHIFT Coaching Certification Program is an incredibly rich program, bringing together frameworks and research that enables us to see vertical evolution in a new and holistic way.

The Discovery Dialogues with Antoinette are a wonderful opportunity to deepen the understanding and make this program not just another certification, but an essential part of your soul evolution.

Niklas Lindhardt, Exec Coach & Consultant

Antoinette, what a blessing that the fabric of life weaved your thread into my weave.

The StageShift program is the most comprehensive program I've ever seen, making the links between the most relevant frameworks within organisations, human development, psychology and life as a whole.

As always when delivered by the universe, your wonderful StageShift program came to us when we needed it. Refining our transforming leader programs in large industry, for even better results.

Thank you for openheartedly sharing your personal experience as well as the nuances of your soul. Two souls on a journey with the same purpose for the benefit of all. Thank you!

Jenny Hoffman, Exec Coach & Consultant

The StageSHIFT Coaching Certification Program is a beautifully designed journey illuminating the path for your own vertical evolution supported by powerful coaching from Antoinette.

The small group format provides a safe space to challenge yourself supported by a very generous amount of individual and group coaching to accelerate growth.

If you have a passion for realising individual and organisational evolution, then I highly recommend this program. It has accelerated both my own evolution and  the evolution of client organisations.

Thanks Antoinette! Your years of commitment to the growing field of vertical development is benefiting all those who share your passion.

Heather Monro, Exec Coach

Antoinette’s coaching approach is highly thought provoking, collaborative and uplifting.

She has challenged and supported me to articulate concepts and ideas that have been just beyond my reach.

I am already benefiting from more congruence with my evolutionary aspirations and clarity regarding my strategic direction.

The coaching is helping me to shape my coaching business so I can more effectively generate transformative change and liberate the energy of potential bound up in human hearts and souls.

I feel very excited and inspired to continue our coaching relationship. I would highly recommend Antoinette’s coaching services for aspirational leaders wanting to take their organisation to the next level.

Paul Smith, Exec Coach

I was absorbed by Antoinette's practical material and philosophy on vertical development. This led to  enrolment in her StageSHIFT Coaching Programme.

I feel and believe strongly that this is “the real deal” in executive leadership development. Not only is its peer-reviewed research platform impeccable, but in the degree of integrity and integration that pervades the whole approach. This is hard to convey without shared direct experience, as so many aspects are brought together here.

As a humble attempt, I would say that it is unrivalled in its blend of science and applied wisdom, inner work and outer application and in the extent of the inner more conscious self that evolves, expressed both in embodied leadership presence and its effects on others, leading directly into organisational culture shifts.

Marianne Borg Hyökki, Exec Coach

I saw Antoinette at an EMCC conference and was absolutely energised and inspired. She offered a free consultation and I jumped on that. During the Summer I moved the call a few times, and even thought I might cancel it. Luckily I did not!

This is not only a coach training, it is most of all a developmental program for myself, while I simultaneously learn about vertical development and how to support my coaching clients to grow and mature. I have learnt so much in this extremely generous program. The whole concept is firmly based in scientific research.

The videos, written material and the webinars are full of interesting stuff, which helps me think about myself, my thoughts, reactions and behaviour at the core of myself. Antoinette supports in a loving and peaceful way and challenges me to go deeper.

Jessica Löwenhielm, Exec Coach

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

Not only has she helped me to take my own coaching practice and our leadership development programs to a totally new level of impact,  she has also elevated my own consciousness stimulating, uplifting and freeing the mind, heart and soul. 

I will be forever grateful for Antoinette helping me to fully understand and grasp the vastness, importance and grandness of vertical development, yet making it easy to start implementing, infusing and transforming my own work and its impact on my clients. 

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 honoured 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 and expediting decision of your life time.

Corinna Kingston, Exec Coach

I first heard Antoinette speak at an EMCC conference and was immediately captured by her insights on vertical leadership development and her own StageSHIFT model, so when the opportunity arose to train with her I didn't have to think about it twice!

As a coach myself, I've found Antoinette's teachings and methodology offers a very timely and practical approach to being of optimal service when working with leaders into today's fast paced, disruptive and very volatile environment.

Her valuable process offers both an introspective approach to our own coaching practices whilst simultaneously developing our intervention skills, through a mixture of transformative coaching, organisational development techniques and so much more, to enable leaders to learn how to pivot in their leadership and show up in a manner that is far more impactful creating a ripple effect that cascades the organisation!

Antoinette's deep knowledge, practical expertise and utter passion for her subject is awe-inspiring. She has clearly dedicated herself to sharing her aspirational vision with the world through her life changing work and I feel privileged to be a small part of that journey. From the perspective of a business leader or executive, I would have no hesitation in recommending Antoinette's exemplary work.

Sharifah Raudhah AlQudsy, Executive Coach

I was preparing myself to be the solid holding space for CEOs and strategic leaders to expand their leadership and knew I needed to do specialised inner work with someone who is very established at a mature stage of consciousness. Serendipity works its magic and Dr Antoinette Braks appeared.

I quickly saw that her extensive practice and the depth of her research was the approach that would equip me to be become whole as a Transformative Coach and Enterprise Evolution Consultant.

Throughout our frequent engagement in our fortnightly discovery dialogues, Antoinette presents her authenticity, and her highly generous and caring spirit. She weaves her expertise in Vertical Development and Enterprise Evolution with ease and grace.

Her pragmatism, expansive vision and beautiful resonance shines through the framework she has developed to bring about deep consciousness to the mature 4th person perspective, while having reverence for all the previous 1st, 2nd and 3rd as well as 5th person perspectives.

I notice that I bring more rigour, courage and crystal-clear intent to my coaching practice in recent months and I can only credit Dr Antoinette’s brilliant guidance for this subtle integrated shift.
