From the beginning of time the caterpillar has been created to experience a metamorphosis. Each stage represents a formidable part of what the caterpillar must go through in order to develop strong enough wings to fly. Once those wings are formed the butterfly has to learn how to adjust and gain strength before utilizing them to exit the cocoon. This eventually allows for the change from crawling to soaring. Since no two butterflies are the same, and not all become leaders of the pack, there must be a transformational stage when the butterfly takes flight to become a “Monarch” which signifies change, transformation, and hope. It is said that it is very rare to see a monarch.

In this talk the metamorphosis of a female leader is explored, utilizing the stages of the butterfly. In an effort to manifest and become a leading monarch, the leader must be resilient, courageous, and persistent in their pursuit to take flight. The talk will look at the mirage of circumstances, which eventually catapults that leader into becoming fiercely unstoppable with the ability to not just fly, but to soar.
