The world is reorganizing.
So is your identity.
We teach the art of navigating the crossing.
Chrysalis Leadership Studio is home to the Threshold Method™ — a body of work for navigating identity transition in an era of permanent disruption. Through writing, coaching, AI-powered tools, and community, we help leaders and seekers move through the space between who they were and who they're becoming.
The coming decade will bring more identity disruption than any period in living memory.
AI is reorganizing work. Institutions are fragmenting. The stories we told about who we are — our careers, our cultures, our roles — are dissolving faster than new ones can form.
The public conversation is about skills. We focus on something deeper: what happens inside a human being when their world reorganizes — and how to navigate that crossing with coherence, courage, and grace.
THE THRESHOLD METHOD™
A framework for navigating identity transition
The Crack
The moment the story stops being true.
The Freefall
The space after, before anything new has formed.
The Noticing
A new quality of presence. Attention before action.
The Crossing
Living the question rather than answering it.
The Inhabiting
Identity recomposed as a living practice.
Drawn from 20 years of direct practice with leaders across 40+ countries. Five stages. One architecture. The same crossing, whether the threshold is personal or civilizational.

A Guide Who’s Walked These Turning Points
Aaron Perkins, ACC
After two decades living across four countries and coaching leaders through identity transitions at companies like LinkedIn, Uber, and Coinbase, I began to see a pattern. Every crossing — career, cultural, existential — follows the same inner architecture.
I built the Threshold Method™ to make that architecture visible, teachable, and navigable. Now, as AI reorganizes work and identity at civilizational scale, I believe this work is no longer optional. It’s essential.
