Lyntharis makes personal development accessible online: value-based personality assessments with ProfilingValues, downloadable workbooks, team analyses for companies, and personal coaching via video — wherever you are.
Guiding people and organisations to shape work so it carries them — through value-based personality assessments, coaching and team development that take the whole person seriously. Online, worldwide.
A world of work where HR doesn't manage but moves. Where companies succeed not despite their people, but through them.
Solutions arise where experience meets curiosity: with the courage to leave well-worn paths when they no longer lead anywhere.
Five lenses through which we look at personality — developed from over 20 years of HR practice. They underpin the free quick test and give you a first, unfiltered glimpse of what truly drives you.
How easily do you step into unknown territory, question conventions, and speak uncomfortable truths?
Learn moreHow much trust do you give before someone has “earned” it — and how well do you tolerate uncertainty?
Learn moreHow do you make decisions that do justice to different people, rather than treating everyone the same?
Learn moreHow strongly are you drawn out of your comfort zone, even when the familiar path would be easier?
Learn moreHow much do you seek genuine contact with people, rather than just managing functions and roles?

Choose your assessment and pay securely online. You'll receive your personal access link to the ProfilingValues assessment — about 20 minutes, whenever and wherever you like.
You'll get your personal PDF report with a written interpretation. Optionally: an online coaching session to discuss the results together.
Both assessments are based on ProfilingValues — a scientifically validated, value-based online assessment (about 20 minutes, tamper-proof). As a certified partner, I evaluate your profile and you receive your report with a written interpretation — with no consultation required.
The personality assessment
Who am I — beyond roles and expectations? The Kompass shows what truly drives you: your values, your strengths and your untapped potential.
The career orientation assessment
Where do I stand professionally — and what's my next step? The Standort combines your ProfilingValues profile with a structured look at role, environment and prospects.
10 statements, 2 minutes — a first glimpse of your profile across the five Lyntharis dimensions. The full assessment then runs through the scientifically validated ProfilingValues assessment.
This is a snapshot from just 10 questions. The full Kompass assessment with ProfilingValues shows you your scientifically grounded values profile with strengths and personal development impulses — as a PDF report for you.
For working on yourself, at your own pace: lovingly designed workbooks as PDFs — each with a free preview to try before you buy.
“What truly drives me” — discover through 7 guided exercises which values shape your life and your decisions.
The self-coaching guide: 30 days, five themed weeks, a short impulse, a question and an exercise every day — for more focus, calm and direction.
Employee conversations that move rather than manage: templates, questioning techniques and conversation structures from HR practice.

People work that doesn't just react — it shapes. That doesn't just avoid harm — it creates real positive impact.
Inspired by Frederic Laloux's evolutionary organisations and Günther Reifer's concept of positive impact, a model emerges that combines both: the courage to think like Teal — and groundedness for classic structures.
Sustainable HR is not a trend but a stance: long-term thinking, holistic, HR as a strategic shaper rather than an administrative apparatus.
Not «How do we prevent turnover?», but «How do we create conditions in which people thrive?» Not less bad — better.
Recruitment and development follow values, not job profiles. HR becomes a co-creator of culture. Structures hold even when leaders change.
Psychological safety and self-responsibility instead of control. Trust is not a soft currency — it is the hardest foundation for performance.
Founder · HR Expert
Dübendorf · Canton of Zurich
I'm Lydia Simon. HR expert, founder of Lyntharis, and the person in the room who asks the uncomfortable questions — politely, but firmly.
Over 20 years in HR means I've seen pretty much everything. Waves of layoffs, mergers, three managers in three months, and salary rounds where everyone left unhappy. And yet — or precisely because of that — I love this job.
I travel with a backpack full of theory, practice, and healthy stubbornness. MAS HRM, a postgraduate diploma in organisational psychology, coaching training, ProfilingValues certificate. Five languages — because the world is too interesting to understand in German alone.
People motivate me. Not as a concept, but as real, sometimes chaotic, often surprising individuals. That is exactly why I do HR — with heart, mind, and the conviction that silence may be golden, but sometimes it is simply the wrong metal.
I take new paths. Sometimes with a racing heart, always with conviction.
I give it first. Those who wait for others to earn it will be waiting a long time.
No favourites, no blind spots. Everyone gets what they need — not necessarily the same thing.
Those who always do what they can already do stay what they already are. I live the opposite.
HR only works when people truly meet each other. Everything else is administration.

The discussion is always the same: too few skilled workers. Too few young talents. Too few applicants. But what if the problem isn't where we're looking for it?

We live in an age where almost everything can be delegated. AI writes the texts. An algorithm generates the images. Ideas come at the push of a button. Fast, efficient, clean. And somehow empty.

Have you done an assessment, worked through a workbook or experienced a coaching session? Tell me about it in two or three sentences — your feedback helps me improve, and helps others decide.
Both assessments are based on ProfilingValues — a scientifically validated, values-based assessment that has been used in HR practice for years. It doesn't measure who you'd like to be, but what actually drives you — which makes it resistant to manipulation. The evaluation is done personally by me as a certified partner, not by a machine.
Your data stays in Switzerland: the website runs on Swiss servers, and your assessment results are seen exclusively by you and me. Nothing is shared with employers or third parties — this also applies to team analyses, where the company only receives the agreed team evaluation. Details in the privacy policy.
The Kompass answers the question "Who am I and what drives me?" — ideal as a starting point or during times of change. The Standort goes one step further and connects your profile with your professional situation: role, environment, next steps — ideal for career reorientation. Not sure? Take the free quiz or drop me a line.
That can happen — and often those are exactly the most valuable insights. Every report includes a written, personal interpretation from me, so you're never left alone with bare numbers. And if you want to go deeper, we can discuss your results in an optional coaching session. Beforehand, you can test my approach for free with the quiz and the previews.
After ordering, you'll receive your personal access link to the assessment within one business day (approx. 20 minutes, whenever and wherever you like). I then evaluate your profile personally — you'll usually receive your PDF report with written interpretation within 2–3 business days. PDF products like the Values Workbook are sent by email right after payment.
Questions about the assessments, interested in a team analysis, or simply unsure where to start? I answer personally — usually within one business day.
