Cultivate excellence in leadership
Leadership Academy
Developing leaders is the most significant opportunity facing organizations today and is essential for optimizing productivity and driving innovation.
The pLink Leadership Academy is a learning experience that sets leaders in the early stages of their careers on the path to excellence and effectiveness. Our hybrid program draws on broad and deep business expertise from the executive coaches at pLink Leadership and fuses it with positive psychology to offer a wealth of practical insight and proven strategy with a heavy dose of inspiration.
Our leadership formula leverages the mindsets and behaviors known to correlate with leadership effectiveness and business performance. We flank this evidence base with practical wisdom and decades of leadership experience. The result is an integrated approach that improves leadership effectiveness and strengthens culture by empowering employees with self-awareness, leading-edge thinking, and easily adopted techniques. The Leadership Academy is a profoundly meaningful learning experience that encourages a supportive network of connections between learners and that yields return on investment for years to come.
Our flagship program, introduced in 2011, consistently earns 5 out of 5 stars from our customers and their employees. Now, over a decade later, the Leadership Academy continues to evolve, preparing graduates to thrive in the new economy.
