Leadership is very important. I would say it is becoming more important every day! We have so many crises, we need good leaders! Are you one? What if our leaders were visionary, good communicators, humble, decisive, empowering, with wisdom, vulnerability, integrity, good listeners, enthusiastic and a good sense of humor? Wouldn’t the world be a better place? Do you want to be (become) such a leader?
The best way for a team to thrive is to have a good, solid culture to work in. What might that look like? Words like respect, honesty, encouragement, trust, empathy, integrity, no gossip, responsible, productive, ethical, supportive, …, etc. are key words in such a culture.

Leaders who are more concerned with their own reputation and personal glory often fail to prepare the company for success in the next generation. – Jim Collins (adapted) LYDIA Connect argues that this world is in a leadership crisis: many of our current leaders are more concerned with themselves and their image than with those who follow them. Our TL training focuses on addressing this crisis. This unique training strengthens mutual relationships and removes blockages, resulting in clear goals and
Many of us feel that the truth is not allowed to be expressed. As leaders, we must create a culture where truth can be spoken. How do we achieve this? Where truth is heard, freedom comes!
Do you know that feeling? Stuck in a situation where what you need is missing? Then it’s time to consider what changes you want so that you can be an authentic leader! As a merchant, a woman named Lydia from Thyatira, who lived around 50 AD, decided to move to Philippi, a Roman colony and trading city in Macedonia.
