Vertical Coaching with a Synergist Mindset
Each level of Vertical Development provides a leader with greater clarity and integrity, agility and dexterity. The StageSHIFT to a Synergist Mindset with a Transforming Worldview is especially powerful and necessary to face today's increasingly complex challenges. The more conscious Mindset at Synergist and beyond for CXO, Senior Executives, Consultants and Coaches is the single largest driver in leading successful transformation of an organization, industry, or business ecosystem. This Program takes you on the journey to realize your latent potential as a Transformative Executive Leadership Coach with a Synergist Mindset.
The StageSHIFTs through Expanding Perspectives
There are 3 Tiers of Vertical. Development: the Fledgling Self in the Concrete Tier during childhood, the Conscious Self in the Subtle Tier during adulthood, and the Unique Self in the Metaware Tier during elderhood. In each Tier, there are 2 Perspectives: Individual and Collective. The urgently needed StageSHIFT in the world today to match outer complexity and volatility is from the 3rd Perspective of the individual 'me' to the 4th Perspective of collective 'we'.
In each Perspective, there are 2 Stages: a gradual progression from Awareness to Integration. In the 4th Perspective, these Stages are Catalyst and Synergist. StageSHIFT offers a unique program that accelerates the integration of a mature Synergist Mindset held by less than 10% of the Executive population. It enables you and your clients to shift from struggling and striving to thriving and flourishing. This level of consciousness is invaluable as a vital coaching instrument.

She is the most aspirational, knowledgeable and loving leader I have come across, the go-to thought leader, mentor and guide in the field of vertical development.
I will be forever grateful to her 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 Executive Coach Sweden
Being both gentle and direct, intuitive and clear, Antoinette generously and courageously shares her wisdom and insights.
The StageSHIFT Coaching Certification 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, making this program not just another certification, but an essential part of your soul evolution. It’s such a beautiful journey!
- Karin Hamrin, Leadership Coach in the Transformation of Leaders and Organizations
Without her firm, generous, friendly, thought-provoking, heart-opening and soul-freeing guidance throughout the program I wouldn’t be where I am today: on purpose with a big mind, open heart, and free soul for 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 courage and crystal-clear integrity to my coaching practice. I highly recommend StageSHIFT if you aspire to evolve.
