Hello

I'm Christine Lithgow Smith, the founder of Chrisalyst.  Being a Director of Global Transformation in a FTSE 30 was an eye-opener for me. Over-priced, off-the-shelf consultancy solutions were being branded as 'cutting-edge', old-school toxic behaviours were often applauded, and some people in strategic positions acted in ways that were short-sighted.  For the first time in my working life, I felt completely alone and unable to influence and lead the positive change I could so clearly envisage.  I couldn't understand why decisions were being taken to sail off a cliff instead of into success. So, I took twenty years of commercial experience, jumped ship, and went back to school. I professionally re-qualified as an executive coach and embarked on a PhD combining Neuroscience, Psychology, and Leader Development. Little did I know it would be a philosophical journey too. And now I'm back. Equipped with the knowledge I wish I'd had then and ready to share it.

​

If you're wondering how can I authentically lead or create change here, in this environment, with these people. Come and try Chrisalyst. The executive alternative to traditional coaching.

 

It might be just what you need.
