Professional Pilot Leadership Initiative
|
The Professional Pilot Leadership Initiative (PPLI) aims to accelerate the advancement of women in all pilot professions, facilitate mentoring, and enhance our leadership role in the aviation community. The program provides highly motivated 99s with tools to develop their careers and leadership abilities. Through guided activities and formal mentoring partnerships, it strengthens and expands the network of women pilots.
|
|
|
This highly-structured, formal mentoring program is unique. The mentor and mentee will communicate on a weekly basis to discuss the mentoring prompts and guided activities. Participants must commit to meeting the program expectations for the entire duration of the 18-24 month program.
|
 |
| The 3 phases of the program are: | |
|
Captain Phase In the first five-month session, you are the Captain setting your own course. You will create a formal Flight Plan. This is your plan for achieving short term career goals and developing leadership and careerskills. |
|
|
|
The Captains’ Circle The Captains’ Circle provides peer mentoring in an email-based discussion group. You also continue making progress on your Flight Plan and your Leadership Activities while in the Captains’ Circle. |
|
Navigator Phase Now you can help steer another woman pilot along her path. You will give guidance, support, and encouragement as your Captain develops a plan to pursue her goals. You will also continue progressing on your Flight Plan and complete your Leadership Activities in this last session of the PPLI.
|
 |
|
Leadership Activities During your time in the PPLI you will work on developing your leadership, teamwork, and organizational skills through giving back and volunteering for the Ninety-Nines and the aviation community. |
