LIFT Ireland is a not-for-profit initiative aimed at increasing the level of positive leadership in Ireland. Leadership is not limited to a select few and everyone can be a leader in their own way.

Using a proven systemic approach, the members of each roundtable reflect on what that value means to them and how they can improve in this area.
