About us
LiDRS was established because of a passion for leadership. Our extensive practical experience led us to conclude that existing theories often do not work in real life. Plenty of books have been written on the subject and there are dozens of models available. However, what is often lacking are practical tips and handy tools to help you to develop yourself as a leader.
Also, we see a trend to view leadership as servant, authoritarian or authentic. This is detrimental to what is the actual key in leadership: your capacity as a leader, to change your style of leadership instantly.
We bring theory and practice together based on our own ideas, experiences and knowledge. Comprising a book, a model and training courses, LiDRS is a total concept. We are a no-nonsense organization focusing on and advocating personal attention, enjoyment and guaranteed development of leadership qualities.

Trainer
Marc is a trainer, coach and partner at LiDRS, but he also works as a project coordinator.
