PPLI

The Professional Pilot Leadership Initiative (PPLI)  aims to accelerate the advancement of women in all pilot professions, facilitate dynamic mentoring, and enhance our leadership role in the aviation community. The program provides highly motivated 99s with the 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 leadership and 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 program consists of 3 phases:

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 career skills.

The Captains' Circle

The Captains' Circle provides peer mentoring in a Google+ communities-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.
