LIDIA AS A LEADER
Success for me is seeing my ideas take shape, achieved by perseverance and surrounding myself with the right people who share my vision. It's about moving forward and adapting, whether the progress is slow or fast, as long as it's headed in the right direction. My leadership is driven by a sense of mission and responsibility, both towards my own goals and those of my team, fostering an environment where innovation is nurtured and personal growth is encouraged.
Leadership is not to be self indulged.
Great Leaders serve.
The future of leadership is self awareness.
When I think of a leader, I think of a shepherd.
ASSERTIVE YET KIND

LIDIA ON MANAGING EMOTIONS AND MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH THOUGHT CONTROL
Lidia emphasizes the importance of managing one's thoughts to maintain mental health. She likens thoughts to food offerings, where one has the power to accept or refuse them. By carefully selecting which thoughts to entertain, Lidia maintains control over her emotions rather than letting them control her. Additionally, she prioritizes physical health through exercise and a good diet, paralleling this with a healthy mental and emotional diet. This holistic approach helps her navigate negative feelings and maintain a balanced work-life dynamic.
LIDIA ON CONTINUOUS GROWTH AND LEARNING FROM MISTAKES
Lidia views success as a continuous journey of growth, moving forward one step at a time. She believes that acknowledging mistakes, correcting them, and moving on is a healthy practice, especially in the fields of innovation and science. According to Lidia, not making mistakes indicates a lack of trying new things. This perspective has shaped her leadership philosophy, emphasizing the importance of resilience and adaptability. By embracing failures as learning opportunities, she fosters a culture of continuous improvement and innovation within her team.
