Praise from Past Participants

Great program for busy professionals!

Traci Thompson

I have always wanted to participate in one of PLEI’s leadership courses, but never had the opportunity. This one was perfect for my busy life. The course allows self-pace learning between each session. The one-on-one sharing is great to break down your barriers and really apply the information to your life. I highly recommend this course and can’t wait for another chance to participate!

Life changing!

Ouita Davis Gatton, RPh

It will change your life...and isn't your life worth an investment?

Thought provoking!

Jenny L Doughty, PharmD

I think this course offers great insight into leadership and thought provoking concepts. If you come with an open mind and are willing to be introspective and reflective on your actions and thoughts, this course can be life changing. But you have to put the work in to get results.

Erica Mabry, PharmD

This course has helped me to take my professional and personal leadership to the next level; I was able to learn more about myself through this course and connect with others who have mentored me into becoming a better leader.

Got me back on track!

The one thing that was most helpful to me was taking the time to assess my personal values, interests, strengths and needs - I seemed to have gotten off-course and taking on too much that really wasn't in line with my goals. Taking the time to reflect has helped me reprioritize and focus on the things that will help me achieve my goals

An excellent opportunity for all levels of leaders!

Jenny Tilleman , PharM

The PLEI Leadership course has helped me to reflect on my past and present leadership styles. I have found that there are important boundaries and relationships that need to be developed to be an effective leader. This course helps to explore those concepts and gives you practice too. it is an excellent opportunity for people at all levels of their leadership development.

I have blindspots?

This course opened my eyes to some things going on in my life and how to handle them.

Great Class!

Even though the base curriculum was established many years ago, the ongoing revisions and new wrinkles they add have helped me each time I review the material. I know how much it helped my leadership effectiveness as a leader, and I hope others will experience the same transformation!

Fun and Informative

Jo Bonasso

Thank you for making this available! It was an enjoyable experience, I learned a lot, and it was helpful to circle back to several concepts I had seen before but filed away.

More Please!

Andrea Bourque

Thank you for a truly fulfilling experience. Can't wait for you all to develop the next course! I want more!

About this course

  • Includes ~2-hours of video lessons, six online small group discussions, and one 4-hour in-person wrap-up session.

FAQ

  • How can I get a better idea of what the videos are like?

    One of the course videos is available to view as a free preview! Just scroll up to the "Course curriculum" section of this page, and under "Unit 2: 'Response-ability'", click on Video 2.2. Once you set up a free account on Thinkific, you'll be able to watch it.

  • 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.

  • I attended one of your classes 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 assistance selecting the best course for you, please email [email protected].

  • I have a colleague who would also like to take the course. Can we participate in the live sessions from the same computer?

    Unfortunately, much of the time spent during our live sessions involves distributing participants into small virtual breakout rooms. Consequently, each participant is required to join the sessions from their own computer.

  • How long will I have access to the course materials?

    Students who register for the course will receive a downloadable workbook that is theirs to keep. Access to the course videos will be provided for 180-days from the start of 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.
