This company was founded by Rod C. Taylor, Ph.D.—a former university professor who’s taught and held leadership posts at universities like Stanford, Indiana University, and the Honors College at Tennessee State University. Throughout his academic career, he was often asked to lead workshops and consult on matters pertaining to communication, leadership, creativity and innovation, and education, to name just a few. Delighted with working and teaching in business environments, he decided to create a formal platform that enables him and his highly skilled team of facilitators to better help those in business realms via engaging, powerful training and development programs that incorporate the best of both modern and time-tested principles and interactive teaching methods.

Our Distinction
PLC DISTINGUISHES ITSELF IN THREE WAYS
​
OUR PURPOSE
While many training and development programs tend to focus mostly on the technical skills involved in any given area, we focus more on the concepts and principles behind the technical, which leads to a lifelong application of the applied skill sets in a variety of contexts.
​
​
INTERACTIVE TRAINING
All our training programs are highly interactive. Because we strongly believe that people learn best by doing, we fill our workshops with interactive exercises that allow attendees to immediately put new knowledge to practical use. No “data dumping,” and no dull lectures. Ever.
