Key Outcomes:
- Develop self-awareness through assessments, one-on-on coaching and introspection.
- Gain emotional intelligence about yourself - understand who you truly are.
- Recognize that you have habitual behavior patterns.

So, what makes the
Chrysalis Program®
for Women Leaders Different
First, my transformation gives me both the knowledge and empathy to guide others through making deep changes. That transformation started when I was an executive myself, and my assistant told me I had left a lot of “damage behind me”.
Those words shook me out of complacency and overconfidence and sent me on a journey of questioning everything about myself and what I was meant to do. In that journey, I experienced countless leadership programs myself — and I learned a lot about what doesn’t work.
I found the answers in the science behind vertical development. Vertical leadership development isn’t about picking up a couple of new skills or competencies. Instead, it’s about expanding your mind and seeing things in a whole new way.
Using the ideas of vertical development, the Chrysalis ProgramⓇ for Women Leaders meets participants where they are and provides the perfect conditions for transformation. Time and again, I see the magic happen when a group or of leaders commits to changing together. They make profound shifts as individuals. But that’s only the beginning. The truly exciting part is how they spread that positive change to so many others.
Your Guide to Leading with an
Infinite Perspective
Most leaders readily understand and appreciate where there are opportunities for their own leadership growth and development. For example, which of their habits would be helpful to change? What should they keep doing, stop doing and start doing? Your Guide to Leading with an Infinite Perspective explains exactly how to grow and develop as a leader. It will guide you to strike the right balance between challenge and support, not simply to add more strategies to your toolset, but to grow vertically so you can better lead in complexity - to be a future-ready leader.
