Why Chrysalis?

Chrysalis (noun): ˈkri-sa-lis’ – a protective covering: a sheltered stage of being or growth: a preparatory or transitional state.

Before a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it prepares its cocoon (a/k/a chrysalis) as though it were dying. A biological process occurs through which the caterpillar transforms within the chrysalis. Inside the protective shell of the chrysalis, amazing changes occur and the caterpillar is transformed into a butterfly.

The butterfly then has to struggle to free itself from the chrysalis. If someone helps the butterfly emerge from its chrysalis prematurely, it will die. It is the process of working to escape the chrysalis that provides the strength and development necessary for survival. Only then is the butterfly ready to emerge from the chrysalis to fly.

The coaching engagement mirrors nature’s process of the chrysalis. It serves as support for helping clients navigate their own transformations. Chrysalis Coaching & Consulting helps individuals to recognize their potential, embrace what’s possible, and emerge from their chrysalis.

You are ready to emerge from your own chrysalis if you:

• Know instinctively that the time is ripe for change
• Desire to unlock your employees’, your team’s, or your individual untapped potential
• Seek to shed limiting ideas and unproductive behavior patterns holding you back
• View the end of one stage as an opportunity for a new chapter to soar
• Are willing to do the work that can lead to growth and development opportunities

“A self-made sanctuary, a place for change and growth, a chrysalis is created in anticipation of both.” – K. D’Angelo
