FAQ
-
What do you mean when you say a course is longitudinal?
This course is more than a collection of videos and webinars. Rather, it is a series of lessons, each of which builds on content from previous lessons. The spacing of these lessons along with the live, online discussions that occur over several months helps foster conditions for constructive introspection, reflection and sharing that maximizes participant learning and retention.
-
What if I can't attend all the live, online sessions?
Given the interactive nature of the course, when participants miss a session, it adversely impacts not only their own experience, but the experience of other participants as well. For that reason, only participants who attend the first and final session, AND at least four of the five other sessions will be eligible to request a certificate of completion and be listed on the PLEI website. **In the event the dates published for this course offering aren't a fit with your schedule, you can either a) wait a few months for another offering, or b) consider taking the "independent study" version of the course: https://plei.thinkific.com/courses/star-independent-study**
-
I attended one of your in-person workshops that included the STAR framework. How does this class differ?
In most of our classes, we touch on the Star Framework because it is the foundation of our leader-development mindset. In our STAR framework class, we will be doing a deep dive into all the points and will be studying how the various aspects of the STAR framework inform our leadership style and our work/life relationships. If you attended a recent PLEI program specifically focused on the Star Framework, our online course on The Leader's Compass may be a better fit for you. For more information on that course, visit https://plei.thinkific.com/collections/leaders-compass
-
How long will I have access to the course materials?
Individuals who register for the course will receive a downloadable workbook that is theirs to keep. Access to the course videos will be provided for 365-days from the date they formally register for the course. Continued access to the videos will be made available for individuals who become paid subscribers to PLEI's online Academy of Leader Development.
