Our Story

About Chrysalis Enterprise

At Chrysalis Enterprise, our journey is far from linear—it's an organic path shaped by experience, much like Charles Handy's 'Age of Unreason.' This approach has given us a unique perspective, allowing us to understand the ever-changing challenges of the business world. Our name, inspired by the transformative process of a chrysalis, reflects our core belief that every business has the potential for significant growth. We've dedicated our professional lives to guiding business owners and leaders through this process, helping them turn challenges into opportunities and visions into reality.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower business leaders and teams to achieve sustained, profitable growth. We do this by providing bespoke coaching services tailored to your unique needs. We help you move beyond the daily grind to focus on strategic goals, build high-performance teams, and foster the kind of leadership that not only drives success but also creates a positive legacy. We believe that true transformation starts from within, and we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Our Expertise

Our approach is grounded in a strong academic foundation, complemented by decades of hands-on experience in the business world. This includes a Master's of Science degree in Strategic Human Resource Management from Sheffield Hallam University. We don't just provide theoretical advice; we partner with you to implement proven, real-world solutions. Our expertise lies in helping you identify your strengths, navigate complex challenges, and develop the skills needed to lead your business confidently into the future.

As a service provider for the New Zealand Regional Business Partners Network, the "we" in our brand reflects a commitment to collaboration, drawing on a wide network of experience and support to serve your needs.

We are also a staunch supporter of Business Mentors New Zealand, with a proud 20-year history of actively mentoring businesses in regional communities. This long-standing commitment to giving back has given us deep roots in the local business landscape and a unique understanding of the challenges and opportunities you face.

Evolving for Today's Challenges

In 2015, we introduced our flagship Strategic Leadership Programme (Streaming), which included a core segment on sustainability. Impacted by the long tail of COVID, a new and highly relevant programme has emerged: the Integrating Sustainability, Risk, and Strategy programme. This is a powerful new tool designed for business owners and key staff to meet today's challenges and provide a strategic advantage for those seeking to revise their operations.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple: professional growth is deeply personal. We take a collaborative and empathetic approach to coaching, treating every client with the respect and individual attention they deserve. We pride ourselves on our strong connection to the local New Zealand business community and believe that the best results come from a trusting partnership built on open communication and mutual respect. We are committed to fostering a supportive environment where you can thrive.
