You may be Excited to Learn About the Amazing Impact of a new approach that has been proven to shift clients by a full stage in development in a 12 month period! This is contrary to the general view that it takes around five years to shift up to the next Stage.

In 2013, nineteen NSW Public Sector senior executives were randomly assigned to Antoinette as part of a leadership development program, and assessed for their action logic using a variation of the Washington University Sentence Completion Test. Twelve were assessed with a >80% conventional mindset; and nine agreed to participate in her Research. They were all senior executives leading large divisions or organizations, many leading more than a thousand employees.

A year later in 2014, each participant was assessed a stage above their initial assessment. A matched pair T-‐test showed significant differences pre-‐ and post-‐coaching (p<0.0001). This was contrary to expectation based on global expert opinions that it takes several years to uplift one’s action logic even with a post-‐conventional coach.

Without Exception, Every Executive Moved a Full Stage with an average movement in their Total Weighted Score (TWS) of 29 points. Most shifted to Catalyst/Achiever, and two to Strategist/Catalyst. The consistency of the results was astounding! Here is a graph of the shift in the aggregate TWS from 2013 to 2014.

Progressive Leadership Stages lead to Distinctive Life Experiences

The huge advantage is that the Holistic Leadership mind-‐body-‐spirit approach is not purely cognitive. It’s less about the level of complexity and ambiguity a person can think through and more about how confident they are in the face of volatility and uncertainty.

If we open our heart to ourselves, other people and our intuition, and open our mind to guidance, wisdom and aspirational endeavors, we can and do shift in Stage Development.

The Peace and Harmony of a Warm Heart, Open Mind and Free Spirit

By connecting mind-‐body-‐spirit to the Stages of Development, it makes it easy for you to spot where the blocks and opportunities for development are so you can instantly identify what to raise or inquire into to achieve an immediate breakthrough.

This makes the whole process of your leadership journey just that much easier. You have a proven pathway in your mind’s eye, and access to precise tools and techniques that will open up the specific opportunity for immediate growth to accelerate development of your self-‐awareness and leadership capacity.

Hope to see you soon, Antoinette
