What is the HAR Leadership Academy?
The Hawai‘i Association of REALTORS® Leadership Academy (HARLA) is a training and development program designed to empower individuals to maximize their leadership potential.
In this dynamic leadership experience, participants will combine individual study, group sessions, and actual project experience to develop their leadership skills. If selected, you will join fellow REALTORS® in a powerful series of retreats, including sessions on leadership skills, team-building exercises, procedures for goal-setting, personal profile analysis, network building and improving communication skills.

“The Academy is developed to enhance, spark, and challenge any diverse leader both personally and professionally. The largest added bonus was the special bonds created within the group.”

“Whomever once said that leaders are simply born that way was misguided. This locally-crafted curriculum explores theoretical and real-life examples that continually challenge and improve the skill set of those who choose to lead their industry, company and/or community organizations.”

“Examining our own styles of leadership and communication and how to employ that in our everyday activities has been so worthwhile to me.”
