Lyntharis makes personal development accessible online: value-based personality assessments with Lyntharis Roots, downloadable workbooks, and personal coaching via video — wherever you are.
Both assessments are based on Lyntharis Roots — a value-based online assessment (about 20 minutes, difficult to manipulate) that I developed from over 20 years of HR practice. You receive your personal report with a written interpretation right away. You can book a personal consultation or assessment alongside it, if you'd like.
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 Lyntharis Roots profile with a structured look at role, environment and prospects.
For those who want more than a report: the internationally validated original ProfilingValues assessment — embedded in a personal pre- and follow-up conversation with me as a certified partner.
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.
Derived from these values, the 5 Lyntharis Dimensions emerged: five lenses through which I 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?

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.
Guiding people and organisations to shape work so it carries them — through value-based personality assessments and coaching 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.
