The Krysalis Group partnered with Citi Learning & Development on a
development initiative for junior-level talent in support businesses
(operations, finance, and technology) within the Capital Markets and Banking
division. The initiative provided an opportunity for project work outside
one's current role; learning and development programs, designed and delivered by
Krysalis, were imbedded within the initiative, and aligned with project
milestones. Donna and Patty not only provided exceptional offerings to the
program participants, but acted as true partners to the L&D team in the overall
design and deployment of the initiative. It was great working with them.

I am the President of a finance company called Esquire Capital. We needed
help with our marketing materials, branding the company and name recognition.
After meeting with a number of different companies, we retained Donna Flagg and
the Krysalis Group and it was one of the best business decisions we ever made.
Donna is one of the greatest communicators I've ever met. This skill set enables
Donna to ascertain from her clients the information necccesary to truly
understand the client, the client's business and the client's needs. She is
then, along with her talented team, able to get that message out in a
professional manner that captures the true essence of the company! In a word,
AMAZING!!!
— Ari Kornhaber, President, Esquire Capital
I needed help with a training program, so I called Krysalis. Donna walked me
through a number of questions, helping me to formulate a training module; and
within twenty minutes, I had a solid outline for my program that was digestible
and clear. I was wowed!!
I was so impressed that I decided to have Krysalis train my trainers using the
same method. Due to their rare and natural ability to educate and inspire
effortlessly, Krysalis was able to unravel the mysteries of our product brand
effortlessly and simply for my staff. Not only does Donna touch her
audience with honest intelligence, she is also engaging and intuitive.
I have continued to use what I learned to create all types of programs. It
works simply and clearly. The Krysalis Group’s techniques are so
understandable and effortless, they can be applied to anything – and I mean
anything.

Shiseido America Ltd.
Donna Flagg and her team at Krysalis bring a new dimension of marketing
capability to the table. Their interactive style, creativity, group dialogue
sessions, and approach to doing business "not as usual" makes them so amazingly
unique. As a result, Krysalis produced two exceptional marketing pieces for us
that were applauded by not only our team, but by two world class financial
services firms. Krysalis delivered ahead of schedule and allowed us to easily
endorse them as our exclusive marketing consultant.
— Rich Palma, Chief Operating Officer, LawCash
Krysalis has been involved with Hanley & Associates since our inception. With
a thorough understanding of the financial services sector, they displayed an
ability to immediately grasp our vision for a revolutionary and proprietary way
of doing business. This allowed them to add value by helping us shape and focus
our vision, define it more clearly, and communicate it succinctly to both
potential investors and employees alike.
Once our business was formed and began “to take flight”, our frequent
“check-ins” with Krysalis have continued to be invaluable. Krysalis has helped
us to incorporate our long-term vision, goals and values and apply them to
day-to-day best practices and policies as we grow, both with our Fortune 1000
corporate partners and institutional investor clientele, as well as our internal
team and service providers.

Krysalis stepped in at Barneys New York to revise our policies and procedures
manual. It was during our hectic holiday season that planning for our
newest flagship store, scheduled to open in March 2006, was also at peak.
Fortunately, we found The Krysalis Group, which enabled us to produce our
manuals, on deadline, and in time for a successful Boston store opening.
— Michael Celestino, Executive Vice President,
Barneys New York
Krysalis was truly the impetus for us to begin the most difficult process of
all - bringing a brand concept from "napkin talk" to execution. Because of Joyce
and Donna's experience in our respective field, their input and validation has
been invaluable to this process. My business partner and I often end our
conversations by saying, “Let’s talk to Joyce and Donna first!”
Krysalis helped solidify our position in the market by creating a solid
sales/distribution plan that has been instrumental in developing the business
plan itself and our overall business objectives. Additionally, we know that
their expertise and ongoing support will help us to reach our goal of
establishing a lasting brand that truly helps and inspires women.
— Therese Clark, Founder, Mother & Child
I always felt that consultants came into a company and had little
understanding of the business, and applied textbook knowledge that never seemed
applicable to our specific needs. I found it frustrating because they
often took up a large amount of my time and rarely, if ever, produced any
tangible results. That being said, I would tell every company that any
dollar and every minute spent with The Krysalis Group is time and money well
spent. Donna has a talent for listening to all of the information and
identifying the problem areas. Her ability to communicate with people
constantly amazes me. I honestly cannot say enough about how valuable they
have been to our company and to me. I would go beyond saying I recommend
them, I think they should be mandatory in all developing companies.
— Alicia Feil, National Sales Manager, NARS Cosmetics
The Krysalis Group has been instrumental in transforming our sales organization at Empire Media, allowing us to drive revenues faster. They helped effectively integrate disparate sales groups from companies we have acquired, and led us in the process of creating a powerful organization with clear operating goals. Simply put, we could not have done this as well without them. There is a clear ROI with Krysalis.
— Chris Travers, Vice Chairman and CEO, Empire Media
Krysalis played an instrumental role in the Company's performance management
training.
— Sean Woodroffe, Senior Vice President, Human
Resources & Administration, FGIC
When a company grows from a startup into a viable business, The Krysalis
Group is essential. Their intricate approach pulled together the “in-house”
education and marketing pieces into a consistent voice while capturing who the
company was and who the company had grown into. Their production of professional
training tools unified national training programs and was the catalyst to the
beginning of international distribution.
— Alphonse Wiebelt, Director of Sales, Paula Dorf
Working with The Krysalis Group has helped me become a better manager and educator by changing the way I think and evaluate the needs of my company. I am now able to identify opportunities as a positive step towards building a stronger company and enhancing the overall work environment.
— Alison Gardner, National Training Manager, NARS Cosmetics
You guys offer a great seminar and it's out of the box and refreshing!
— Amy Lui, New York University, Delta Pi Epsilon Alpha Chapter
Krysalis has been able to identify and unlock dangerous obstacles in my company to create a process of resolution that encourages growth, not only in the company but also in the employee.
— Alona Fromberg-Elkayam, Chief Creative Officer, 321 Takeoff LLC
I have never worked with consultants who are able to so quickly get at the core and cause breakthroughs for people. They are able to sort things out and have insights that get significant results. They create learning opportunities that have the power, impact and ability to transform people's thinking.
— Judith Glazer, CEO, Benchmark Communications
Krysalis is a huge catalyst for my business’s continued growth. They have a rare combination of listening, organizing and advising skills that help save me time in every aspect of my business from planning to execution. With their help, I have implemented systems that help my employees get more done, and be clearer on their roles in the company.
— Cypher Zero, Executive Artistic Director, FireFly Entertainment Group
I worked with The Krysalis Group to help my small business grow.
They were helpful, both from a branding and marketing point of view by helping
me clarify my goals, strengths, and challenges of the business, as well as a
personal point of view, by helping me hone in on what I really wanted.
I enjoyed the process of discovering with them nuances that were hidden from me,
as they helped me navigate a plan for growth.
— Ruta Fox, CEO/President, Divine Diamonds
Donna has taken the concept of learning to a higher plane. Having utilized numerous consultants to educate my staff, I've been exposed to the usual and commonplace technique of teaching i.e. lectures and handouts. Donna on the other hand, brings her energy, intelligence and sense of humor to her learning engagements. Her style is interactive, enlightening and fun, in a word: different.
— Frank Tirelli, Principal, Stonegate Associates
We needed help evaluating our situation. Donna showed us how we fit together as a team and clarified our roles in the business. Our staff now interacts more professionally, delivers higher levels of service and is closer to their clients. Not only was it refreshing, but we're more focused and energized as a result. I definitely recommend it!
