We had an inspiring time at Lydia Sierra Consulting's Tri-Annual Company Meeting this October! 🎉 Our team was delighted to welcome Michael Vann from The Vann Group, LLC, who presented the Predictable Success model, for an enlightening session on organizational growth and leadership styles. Before the session, we took a survey to discover our primary leadership tendencies. It turns out we have a well-rounded team of Visionaries, Operators, Processors, and Synergists! This diverse mix fuels our collaborative spirit and drives our mission forward. Mike shared invaluable insights on how understanding these roles can propel organizations toward predictable success. We're excited to apply these principles to enhance our impact. At LSC, we're passionate about helping nonprofits scale and achieve their goals.
