Why Become a Peaceful Leader?
Leadership style and effectiveness have a direct impact on employee engagement, employee retention, company innovation, productivity, and ultimately revenue. That’s obvious.

PLA’s Optimal Learning Experience
The Certified Peaceful Leader™ – Workplace program is a truly unique, interactive hybrid learning model to fit leaders’ busy schedules. We developed our learning system with two primary initiatives: 1) it should be somewhat self-paced, so leaders can complete the course modules as is convenient for them, and 2) it should be engaging, interactive, and actionable, unlike most self-paced, pre-recorded learning courses.
