Chrysalis HR Consulting is a woman-owned business specializing in serving mission-driven organizations in Western North Carolina — small businesses, not-for-profits, and educational & other social enterprises. Chrysalis HR Consulting provides just-in-time Human Resources consulting to support your organization.
Human Resources looks different for everyone. Together, we will craft a customized action plan to meet you where you are and provide the resources and tools to get you where you want to be.
With more than three decades of HR leadership experience in various organizations — public and private, small and large, new and firmly established — I bring HR expertise combined with curiosity and creativity to meet your HR needs in a way that reflects your culture and values and makes sense for your organization. My goal is to be your trusted HR partner.
I understand the joys and challenges of working in mission-driven organizations: being strategic and hands-on, working with limited resources, and having a high sense of accountability to those you serve and represent. I believe that impactful organizational management – the art of coordinating resources, people, and processes to drive success – blends HR best practices with the unique character of your organization. Let’s combine my passion for HR with your passion and purpose so your organization can succeed.
Areas of focus include:
I’m committed to supporting the invaluable work that nonprofit organizations provide in our in our communities. Over the years, my contributions to volunteer service have included work with women’s shelters, Girl Scouts, Korean Heritage Camps, and local, regional, and national HR professional organizations. Since moving to Asheville in 2013, I’ve served on the boards of Leadership Asheville, Hanger Hall School, Celebration Singers of Asheville, and the WNC Diversity Engagement Coalition. Additionally, I served as Interim Chief Human Resources Officer at Dogwood Health Trust in 2020-21. I’m currently on the board of directors of Building Bridges of Asheville, serving as board secretary and lead of the program work group. https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-norian/
