Verity Stainsby is a talent management consultant and Chartered Fellow of the CIPD with more than twenty five years in HR, working with organisations across retail, manufacturing, travel, research, pharmaceuticals and professional membership bodies.
Chrysalis Talent Development is a single-practitioner consultancy. The person who scopes the work is the person who delivers it, and the thinking is not passed to a delivery team once the proposal is signed.
That shapes what the practice takes on. Engagements are deliberately limited in number so each one gets proper attention, and the work is advisory and design-led rather than volume service delivery.
It also shapes how the work is done. Recommendations follow diagnosis rather than preceding it, and where the findings point somewhere outside this scope, that is said plainly rather than reframed into a proposal.

Sector experience spans retail, manufacturing, travel, research, pharmaceuticals, construction research and professional membership bodies, including Tesco, Nissan, TUI, Camelot, BRE, Lundbeck and the IET.
That range matters because talent management problems present differently by context. Succession in a manufacturing business with deep technical roles is a different problem from progression in a membership body, even where the underlying framework is the same.
[TO CONFIRM: the career path itself. Which roles were held at which organisations, in what order, and which were in-house HR positions versus consultancy engagements. Without this the sector list reads as a client list, which may not be accurate]
Chartered Fellowship is the CIPD’s most senior grade of membership, reflecting sustained strategic impact on the people profession rather than length of service alone.
[TBC: further qualifications such as degrees, coaching accreditation (ICF/EMCC), psychometric certification (BPS Level A and B). The coaching and assessment pages reference psychometric and 360 feedback work, which normally needs named accreditation behind it]
[TBC: professional memberships, board or advisory roles, published work or speaking]
Chrysalis works with organisations across the United Kingdom. Delivery is a mix of on-site and remote, set by what the engagement needs: diagnostic conversations and development centres generally benefit from being in the room, while coaching sessions and design work run well remotely.

Every engagement begins with understanding your organisation’s current position. A Talent Management Maturity Assessment or a discovery conversation identifies the priorities before any solution gets recommended.
