Lider z Sercem

What Lider z Sercem does

Lider z Sercem is a Polish social organization (organizacja społeczna) founded in 2017 in Gdańsk by Monika Rychcik-Leyk. It focuses on leadership development and team-building for managers, team leaders, and aspiring leaders in the Gdańsk Tricity region, operating under a philosophy that advocates participatory, trust-based organizations where the human being is the paramount value. The organization's core offering is a portfolio of free, in-person event series — WE LEAD! (discussion/panel format with guest speakers), WE TALK! (hands-on workshops), and WE CAFE! (informal discussions) — held at physical venues such as Olivia Business Centre, Gdański Inkubator Przedsiębiorczości Starter, Sztuka Wyboru, and Starbucks Olivia Gate, and registered through online platforms including Evenea.

The organization is delivered by a small team of approximately eight people, including the founder, certified Scrum Masters, a PMP-certified project manager, an IT team leader, and a practitioner pursuing ICF coaching accreditation. Topics addressed across the events include Nonviolent Communication (NVC), motivation, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, change management, appreciation, and perspective diversity, drawing on the founder's background in leadership psychology from SWPS. There are no proprietary technology platforms, no AI components, and no digital product surface; the entire value delivery is human-led, in-person, and venue-dependent.

The business model is non-commercial. Participation in all events is free ('bezpłatne') with mandatory prior registration; no paid tiers, subscription pricing, or commercial licensing is offered. The organization does not disclose revenue, has no venture or private equity funding rounds, and operates as a founder-led mission-driven social organization. Venue partnerships with Olivia Business Centre and Gdański Inkubator Przedsiębiorczości Starter provide physical space for programming. Customer segments are undifferentiated and centered on a general audience of mid-market team leaders, managers, and organizations seeking cultural transformation, with the organization's reach currently confined to the Pomorskie/Gdańsk region.

Broad incumbents

• Cegos Poland: Polish arm of the international Cegos corporate training group, delivering leadership, management, and soft-skills programs to enterprise clients across Poland. Comparable leadership development offering, but at significantly larger scale and with a paid B2B delivery model.
• FranklinCovey Poland: Local affiliate of the global FranklinCovey leadership development firm, providing leadership, execution, and trust-based culture training (e.g., 'The 7 Habits', 'Speed of Trust') to Polish corporates. Overlaps with Lider z Sercem's trust-based, participatory leadership philosophy and mid-market audience.
• Akademia PARP: Polish Agency for Enterprise Development, offering publicly funded training, advisory, and consulting programs for SMEs and managers. Comparable leadership and management development programming for Polish businesses, delivered at scale via EU/government funding.

Direct peers

• Dale Carnegie Poland: Established Polish franchise of the global Dale Carnegie training network, offering leadership, communication, and team-effectiveness workshops for managers and mid-market organizations. Comparable product/customer overlap with Lider z Sercem's WE LEAD! and WE TALK! series, though operating at much greater scale and as a paid, structured curriculum.
• ICF Poland Chapter: Polish chapter of the International Coach Federation, organizing coaching community events, workshops, and networking for Polish managers and team leaders. Direct peer for the leadership/community-development audience Lider z Sercem targets, including members with similar certification profiles (Barbara Bruska is in ICF-track).

Others

• Evenea: Polish event registration and ticketing platform used by Lider z Sercem to manage WE LEAD! and WE TALK! workshop sign-ups. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a competitor, but materially comparable given reliance on Evenea for attendance infrastructure.

Emerging players

• Vital Voices Poland: Polish/local branch of the global Vital Voices leadership network focused on emerging leaders (with community-driven events and free programming). Comparable nonprofit, community-led leadership development model targeting a similar participant persona.
