OUR DNA

• COURAGE TO LEAD

  At HCCI, we do not follow the safest path– the path of least resistance. We make difficult decisions. We challenge the status quo, R I S E™ above adversity, and take responsibility for our own actions. We do not let temporary setbacks become permanent excuses but use mistakes and problems as opportunities to get better – not reasons to quit.

• AGILITY TO CHANGE

  With rapid technological advancements, shifting legislations, increased globalization and demand for transparency, adaptability and flexibility are core to building and leveraging momentum. At HCCI, Change is our inspiration! We adjust, adapt and respond. We place value on innovation, lifelong learning, personal mastery and communication.

• INCLUSION, DIVERSITY & RESPECT

  We honor individuality, human dignity, and equality. We strongly believe in creating and fostering a working environment where everyone can openly be themselves in order to thrive, develop and succeed. An environment in which people are recognized and respected for their own strengths, values and perspectives. The truth is, we do not see things the same. The power is understanding the value of seeing things differently!

• COMMITMENT & CONSISTENCY

  Excellence is a choice, not a skill. Excellence is a result of high expectations and good execution. It comes from the consistency of operating in our strengths zone and the gradual result of always striving to be better. Self-discipline is the fuel that keeps us going. We are committed to finding the way, making the way, and setting the bar of expectation for ourselves higher. Adding value to our clients and by extension to the societies in which they work in and the clients they serve is our burning desire.

• INTEGRITY & TRANSPARENCY

  We are committed to the highest standards of integrity and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We have zero tolerance for unethical behavior. At HCCI, Integrity means more than just complying with the law. It means upholding the highest standards of integrity in all of our actions. We strongly believe in doing the right thing even when it’s not the easy thing, facing the facts; admitting and learning from mistakes, having only one truth for all audiences and no hidden agendas. We stay honest and open, authentic and real. It’s really that simple.

The Road to Executive Coaching

It was while attending a leadership conference where the #1 New York Times best-selling author, coach, and speaker and an internationally recognized leadership expert was a headline speaker – Dr. John C. Maxwell. That day she explored the “Big Question(s)” and discovered her passion, her life’s purpose. The big question for Leyda is not so much about “Why are you here?” But it has more to do with, “What will it take for me to improve and multiply?”, “What am I willing to give up in order to go up and keep growing?” Her answer? ‘Think. Plan. Act. Risk. Courage. Persist’ ™  After reflecting, she asks herself one last question…”Am I happy about what I am becoming?” Her answer? She smiles. That was the day that she discovered that personal growth is a life-long journey which is lived out day by day. She learned the power of personal goal setting with accountability and it changed her life forever. That was the day she chose not to look backward and decided to move forward to be side-by-side with the top leadership expert in the world, John C. Maxwell to grow, both personally and professionally and receive the knowledge, training, years of experience, and the life-long support, that is needed to become a top leader.
