The program utilizes GiANT\u2019s self-awareness process of understanding your personality to the highest degree, while implementing tools to help strengthen your EQ and become more effective in areas such as communication, time management, influence, and impact.<\/p><p>Each selected participant will be placed into one of two different Academies consisting of 12-15 highly motivated collegiate and professional members from around the nation. These Academies are the foundational components of personal development and growth. Inside these groups are where participants face a high level of support and challenge as they begin growing and expanding their leadership capacity.<\/p><p>Each Academy meets with a trained PLS Leader Academy facilitator <b>every other week for 50 minutes<\/b>\u00a0via Zoom for approximately five months. Each session involves a guided learning experience utilizing various tangible leadership tools. These simple yet powerful tools help each participant increase their influence both professionally and personally. These sessions allow participants to learn the tools and practice implementing them on a daily basis in any circles of influence. The more you use the tools for communicating, the more you will be able to understand, explain and teach the tools to help yourself and others become liberating leaders by communicating more effectively.\u00a0 Individuals will also meet 1-on-1 with the facilitator throughout the Academy duration.<\/p><p>The Leader Academy is designed to help\u00a0<em>good leaders become great leaders<\/em>\u00a0by helping individuals become fully aware of what it is like to be on the other side of themselves and adjust accordingly.<\/p><p>As Phi Lambda Sigma aims to train leaders from around the nation in order to further our mission and support our members, Phi Lambda Sigma will provide all costs associated with participation in this program. Participants will have no financial obligation and are not responsible for any associated fees. Participants are expected to actively participate in at least 80% of the biweekly meetings during the program.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba40785 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ba40785\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3089327 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3089327\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d71d50 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"1d71d50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfDuO71rum4I_RB_P0TmGfgL60Ucdibbh6AQARh3G3pu6V5_g\/viewform?usp=header\" target=\"_blank\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fab-wpforms\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M448 75.2v361.7c0 24.3-19 43.2-43.2 43.2H43.2C19.3 480 0 461.4 0 436.8V75.2C0 51.1 18.8 32 43.2 32h361.7c24 0 43.1 18.8 43.1 43.2zm-37.3 361.6V75.2c0-3-2.6-5.8-5.8-5.8h-9.3L285.3 144 224 94.1 162.8 144 52.5 69.3h-9.3c-3.2 0-5.8 2.8-5.8 5.8v361.7c0 3 2.6 5.8 5.8 5.8h361.7c3.2.1 5.8-2.7 5.8-5.8zM150.2 186v37H76.7v-37h73.5zm0 74.4v37.3H76.7v-37.3h73.5zm11.1-147.3l54-43.7H96.8l64.5 43.7zm210 72.9v37h-196v-37h196zm0 74.4v37.3h-196v-37.3h196zm-84.6-147.3l64.5-43.7H232.8l53.9 43.7zM371.3 335v37.3h-99.4V335h99.4z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Collegiate Application<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSeIvpOG-ZzYB0Fjqecun9UeFhVco5Lqt9qbMkhRfYr335BJ6Q\/viewform?usp=header\" target=\"_blank\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fab-wpforms\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M448 75.2v361.7c0 24.3-19 43.2-43.2 43.2H43.2C19.3 480 0 461.4 0 436.8V75.2C0 51.1 18.8 32 43.2 32h361.7c24 0 43.1 18.8 43.1 43.2zm-37.3 361.6V75.2c0-3-2.6-5.8-5.8-5.8h-9.3L285.3 144 224 94.1 162.8 144 52.5 69.3h-9.3c-3.2 0-5.8 2.8-5.8 5.8v361.7c0 3 2.6 5.8 5.8 5.8h361.7c3.2.1 5.8-2.7 5.8-5.8zM150.2 186v37H76.7v-37h73.5zm0 74.4v37.3H76.7v-37.3h73.5zm11.1-147.3l54-43.7H96.8l64.5 43.7zm210 72.9v37h-196v-37h196zm0 74.4v37.3h-196v-37.3h196zm-84.6-147.3l64.5-43.7H232.8l53.9 43.7zM371.3 335v37.3h-99.4V335h99.4z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Advisor Declaration Form<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSc-PtkqXg62gsOHxs9SB8ojDcuvfloCFDAjqFoxyvKUATm3OQ\/viewform?usp=header\" target=\"_blank\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fab-wpforms\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M448 75.2v361.7c0 24.3-19 43.2-43.2 43.2H43.2C19.3 480 0 461.4 0 436.8V75.2C0 51.1 18.8 32 43.2 32h361.7c24 0 43.1 18.8 43.1 43.2zm-37.3 361.6V75.2c0-3-2.6-5.8-5.8-5.8h-9.3L285.3 144 224 94.1 162.8 144 52.5 69.3h-9.3c-3.2 0-5.8 2.8-5.8 5.8v361.7c0 3 2.6 5.8 5.8 5.8h361.7c3.2.1 5.8-2.7 5.8-5.8zM150.2 186v37H76.7v-37h73.5zm0 74.4v37.3H76.7v-37.3h73.5zm11.1-147.3l54-43.7H96.8l64.5 43.7zm210 72.9v37h-196v-37h196zm0 74.4v37.3h-196v-37.3h196zm-84.6-147.3l64.5-43.7H232.8l53.9 43.7zM371.3 335v37.3h-99.4V335h99.4z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Professional Application<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01e2ba6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"01e2ba6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>*Collegiate Members Only:\u00a0Please send the required Declaration of Chapter Advisor Support Form to your Chapter Advisor.
