Nancy Settle-Murphy is founder, president, and principal consultant for Chrysalis International Inc., a facilitation, training and strategic communications consulting firm based in Boxborough, Massachusetts. As a facilitator, training designer and instructor, cross-cultural trainer, communications strategist and organizational development consultant, Nancy draws on an eclectic combination of skills and experiences. With an education in anthropology, speech and communications, she served in many positions of increasing responsibility in the insurance, manufacturing, and high-tech industries before making the leap to starting her own company in 1994. Organizations that need in-depth conversations to achieve their goals especially value Nancy's gift for extracting and harnessing ideas and feelings in a thoughtful, supportive and productive manner. A special area of focus: Helping virtual teams to collaborate more successfully across cultures and time zones. Nancy's clients appreciate her ability to hit the ground running, grasping complex concepts easily and absorbing new information quickly. She zeroes in on those areas that most require attention to achieve the desired outcome, and collaborates with clients to design and deliver the best solutions, taking into account the organization's business, challenges, culture and political landscape. Above all, Nancy is a realist, and will provide a sanity-check to let clients know what it will really take to achieve their goals. Clients always know what Chrysalis will deliver and when. Nancy maps out exactly how she will work with clients and what she expects from them, to make collaboration easy and predictable. She freely shares her knowledge, tips and tools to enable clients to be self-sufficient as quickly as possible. A lifelong writer, Nancy is a prolific author of articles, white papers and ezines on the topics of global teams, virtual collaboration and facilitation. She's also a sought-after speaker and trainer for associations, conferences and companies that want to learn more about how to make remote collaboration work for them. Outside of work, Nancy tries to keep up with her twin daughters in Kindergarten. Fortunately she needs relatively little sleep, allowing her to squeeze in other interests from time to time, such as cooking, yoga, walking, gardening, reading, writing, Red Sox baseball and traveling. Chrysalis also includes a network of professionals with complementary skills who band together on a just-in-time basis to meet client needs.
