About this listen
How can you become a leader who changes lives and, just maybe, the whole world? Top executive coach and leadership trainer Ron J. West has cracked the code.
The Chrysalis Code: Becoming the Type of Leader Other People Want to Follow; Coach Ron guides you through what deep and lasting change actually looks like for leaders. True transformation isn't about acquiring yet more leadership tips and tactics. Instead, it's about reimagining the way you make sense of the world. In other words, focus less on what to do, and more on how to be. Just as Coach Ron's approach to leadership development is different, so is this book.
The Chrysalis Code isn't a traditional guide. Instead, it's a story based on the real transformations leaders experience in Coach Ron's Chrysalis Program. You'll recognize yourself in the characters as they navigate the stages of Awakening, Discovery, Expansion, and Transformation. After listening to The Chrysalis Code, you'll be ready to embark on your own journey of growth and evolution, including:
- Building your emotional intelligence so you can connect with others like never before
- Disrupting destructive habits (no willpower required)
- Expanding your mind to become authentically inclusive
- Thriving amid complexity and uncertainty instead of merely surviving
- Becoming a lifelong learner
