The Chrysalis Program is tailored for today’s environment of rapid change.
It harnesses the science of
vertical development
—the process of expanding how leaders think and make sense of complexity.
Instead of teaching more techniques, this methodology evolves how leadership teams process information, make decisions, and work together.
The Vertical Leadership Growth Model
A proven roadmap
for authentic &
transformational leadership
of self and others.
Awakening
Who am I in this world?
You start your quest for authenticity by examining the world you've made for yourself as a leader and step outside of it. In doing so, you begin to develop higher self-awareness and "wake up" your authentic self.
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.
Discovery
How do I relate to myself and the world?
You experience a breakthrough in what's holding you back and move to the growth edge. By recognizing and interrupting your habitual responses, you break your old mold and change your mind. You shift your focus from what to do and instead focus on how to be.
Key Outcomes:
- Understand how neuroscience and your identity, attitudes, values, and behaviors impact how you are being.
- Uncover, understand, and address your unconscious biases and lead inclusively.
- Interrupt automatic responses and create space for choice.
Expansion
How do I nurture connection?
You experience an expanded capacity and toolset to think and act differently - to be different. You learn to lead authentically, help others be all they can be, hold yourself and others accountable and operate inclusively.
Key Outcomes:
- Widen your perspective and challenge your assumptions.
- Develop powerful communication skills to better listen, validate, understand, connect with and persuade others.
- Intentionally develop a personal brand.
Transformation
How do I influence the world?
You own the newfound ability to imagine and influence the world beyond - an infinite perspective. At work, you create unprecedented impact. You also start to craft your world vision and master the ability to model continuous growth for yourself and those you serve.
Key Outcomes:
- Recognize that your personal transformation will transform your environment.
- Understand your leadership presence, areas of strength, and development.
- Thrive and serve others with a perspective of infinite growth.
A Personal Message
from Ron J. West
The Chrysalis Program is my legacy—and you can make it yours.
And I thought I was going to be a rock star. But my own journey was to take me from being a business leader to executive coach.
The ripples of our work travel far. It isn’t just about the leaders we develop—it's about the lives of the people who choose to follow those leaders.
Twenty-five years ago, an executive assistant's honest feedback changed everything for me. Her words—
“It's a pity there has to be quite so much damage behind you.”
—started my journey to understand what real transformation looks like.
That journey led me to create the Chrysalis Program, a methodology that meets leaders where they are and provides the perfect conditions for genuine transformation.
Time and again, I’ve seen the magic happen when groups of leaders commit to changing together.
I believe this work can make an even
Bigger impact.
That’s why I'm sharing it with committed practitioners like you. Through your work, my legacy continues, and through this program, your own positive and lasting legacy will flourish.
As you guide others through their transformation, you'll experience your own growth, too. The most powerful thing about the Chrysalis Program is that it changes everyone it touches.
