REALIZE YOUR POTENTIAL TO BECOME A MORE INSPIRING STRATEGIC LEADER!

The Strategic and Holistic Leadership Coaching Program has been proven to generate a transformational journey of leadership development for senior executives and aspiring leaders who wish to advance their careers and instigate and sustain powerful, transformative change in their world.

A multi-‐dimensional experience, Strategic and Holistic Leadership interweaves “inside-‐out” personal leadership development to ignite purpose, deepen conscious awareness and heal emotional patterns, with a transcendent structure of “outside-‐in” strategic scaffolding to lift aspirations and create a Strategic Operating System while generating collaborative engagement on strategic priorities across stakeholders.

The Leadership Program draws on recent research in business performance, conscious capitalism, quantum and neuroscience, emotional awareness, mindfulness, appreciative inquiry, individual productivity, development and positive psychology, spiritual intelligence, collaborative developmental action inquiry, integral theory and Theory U.

This distinctive blend has been proven to bring about the development of inspiring strategic leadership by instigating a whole stage shift into post-‐conventional transformational leadership capacity in just a single year for all client executives.

A Proven Approach To Accelerating Leadership

Transformation! By uplifting the Structure or context within which we work ~ the “outside-‐in”, and exploring our inner world of Intention ~ the “inside-‐out”, we develop the power to exercise greater leadership presence (Behavior) and transform the Culture around us.

The Stages in Leadership Development Executive Coaching in Strategic and Holistic Leadership enables Stage Development from highly effective business operations and account management to inspiring strategic leadership. This reflects the shift from the high performing stage of Achiever to authentic leadership as a Catalyst and transformational leadership at Strategist.

Here are the Stages in Leadership Development, showing the distribution of Executives at each Stage. Achievers accounting for 33% of Executives number amongst the top 50%, 9% are Catalysts falling within the top 15% while Strategists constitute the top 6% of Executive leaders who are able to lead, hold and sustain widespread business transformation to meet the demands of an evolving world.

This model of leadership development forms a holarchy. The strengths of each stage are incorporated in the following while the reactive emotional patterns within earlier stages are explored and healed. As we develop our leadership capacity to gradually embrace more of who we are, become understanding rather than judgmental and discerning rather than critical, we can increasingly utilize our authentic power to shape, collaborate and transform the world around us in order to generate sustainable outcomes of mutual benefit to all.

By setting holistic leadership development within the design and implementation of a transformational strategic business context, the higher order leadership capacity is both demanded and exercised. The natural tension that ensues enables us to learn how to operate beyond our conventional autopilot and meet situations with a broader and deeper perspective.

PhD Research Study Nine Executive clients agreed to participate in my PhD Research Study. They undertook a Stage Leadership Assessment at the beginning and end of their 12-‐month Coaching Program.

Every single client moved a full Stage in Leadership Development in the one year. Most shifted to Catalyst, and one went through to Strategist with another knocking on its door. This was remarkable given that such a shift is commonly thought to take several years!

Client Testimonials Occasionally, we meet folks who bring a unique perspective to strategic conversations, creating new thoughts, ideas and innovative thinking. Antoinette is one such person, drawing on a wonderful knowledge and understanding in so many aspects of life and business. ~ Richard Boggon, Regional Executive Transport Parsons Brinckerhoff

I had the wonderful experience and pleasure of working one-‐on-‐one Antoinette Braks. At the time, I was dealing with a very complex personal and commercial situation which she was very quick in understanding the holistic picture. Her commercial experience together with insight into situational and personality traits greatly assisted me in breaking the complexity down into manageable pieces and brainstorming to find positive forward moving paths. Importantly she gave me the confidence and courage to implement what I considered prior to our sessions an almost insurmountable course of action. ~ Belinda York, Founder & CEO Say Yes Pty Ltd

When I first came to see Antoinette, I was fatigued and stressed at work and not enjoying life. In the very first meeting, the underlying issues were exposed. Antoinette shed light on my life and revealed things that I simply had not seen or understood. And, unlike previous coaching, Antoinette had a positive, forward-‐looking approach that made me feel optimistic about the future. Antoinette helped me work through changes in my org structure to enable me to focus on the higher strategic issues I enjoy. She gave me exercises to help with affirmation of my abilities and feel more secure about my work. And most importantly she addressed my whole-‐of-‐life progression, not just my work-‐life.” ~ Richard Host CIO Fire and Rescue NSW

Antoinette is a master of motivation and spiritual wizardry! After every session, I leave feeling inspired and motivated with a sense of awe and wonder of my own unlimited potential. Her exuberant energy and zest for life is contagious yet she provides an architectural framework providing structure and support. ~ Anne Tucker, Manager Health and Safety, Sydney Trains

My time with Antoinette will forever have a positive impact on my approach to leadership. I found her perspectives thoughtful and insightful, and her connection with mind, body, spirit revolutionised my thinking, and most importantly, my actions. My engagement with Antoinette began at a time when I found myself in a newly collaborative leadership role within government managing several portfolios that were previously unfamiliar and challenging to me. Antoinette’s experience and viewpoints were extremely helpful in building: - My focus and commitment to delivering a consistent vision personally and professionally - My opportunity to drive growth and development through people - My ability to encourage risk taking and accountability, and - My aptitude to nurturing self-‐awareness and reflective practice.

Antoinette has a unique ability to recognise, understand and explain complex leadership issues and, along the way, there have been surprising personal realisations. Attuning my inner self and harnessing my authenticity to be an innovative and strategic leader has afforded me unique opportunities as an Executive Director working in government. Antoinette has awoken the inner warrior in me and helped me lead my organisation to success. ~ Gary Groves, District Director Illawarra and Shoalhaven, FACS

In essence Antoinette has galvanised the organization in a way that is remarkable due to her ability to engage with other people. She is a collaborative intuitive with clear insight into what drives different behaviours and how to make momentous changes in perspective in order to achieve much better results. Her strong strategic focus, business acumen and generous understanding of people mean that any organization that has the benefit of her knowledge and experience will gain far more than they may expect. ~ Anne Cosgrove, Executive Director People and Culture, Businesslink NSW

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 and ensure that the adopted strategies were well understood and effectively implemented to drive toward the desired outcomes. She was a vital source of energy and inspiration in setting our new course and getting us going! ~ Pat Richards, Founding CEO, Businesslink NSW; CEO Health Alliance NZ

While working with the Board and Management Team, Antoinette helped us to turnaround our national member Association. Her commitment to bringing our vision to life and focus on results, inspired us to achieve more than we thought was possible. Her style is fast-‐paced, insightful, strategic, always positive and encouraging. Her high energy level literally 'swept us up' and moved us along. Together we re-‐ignited our organization to achieve audacious goals, develop a national profile and become a significant influencer of government policy. ~ Judith Speight, Chairman TUANZ; MD, Accelerating Aotearoa
