the leadership equation
Introducing the Leadership Equation
The Leadership Equation is ACT’s proprietary reflective tool designed to help coaches and leaders explore the inner mechanics of performance — moving beyond metrics to reveal the deeper developmental patterns that drive real impact. Each element represents a key dimension of performance in today’s complex world
Identity
How a leader sees themselves and the patterns that shape their behavior.
Presence
How that identity shows up in tone, energy, and embodiment—and how others experience it.
Impact
The results and relationships that arise from those expressions of leadership.
Spark
The part of you that still remembers what matters. It lies underneath and is sometimes visible, but often buried.
Context
The environment that either reinforces old patterns or invites new choices. Context surrounds the system.

ICF accreditation that matters

Blended learning for working professionals

The ACT Framework
3 key steps to leadership success
Awareness
Awareness is the ability to see yourself, your patterns, and your impact more clearly. It is the starting point for meaningful leadership and lasting growth.
Choice
Choice emerges when awareness creates space between reaction and response. Instead of operating from habit or pressure, you begin leading with greater intention, presence, and alignment.
Transformation
Transformation happens when new awareness and choices are practiced consistently over time. It is not just about insight, but about creating sustainable shifts in how you lead, relate, and perform in the world.

Got a question about our coaching programs?
Most participants who complete LPCC/Level 1 apply for their ACC Credentials, even while working towards their PCC credentials through the Next Level with Level 2 Add on. The PCC credential requires 500 practice coaching hours so most opt to obtain the ACC credential first. (Link: https://coachingfederation.org/credentialing/icf-credentials-overview/pcc/)
Level 2 requires 125 hours of coach-specific training. Our LPCC Level 1 program provides 100 hours of training. To obtain your PCC, you will require an additional 25 hours. Our Next Level program with the Level 2 add-on provides the additional training hours as well as the Level 2 Performance Evaluation to become eligible for PCC credentials.To obtain the PCC with the ICF, you must complete 500 hours of practice coaching hours.
It depends. If you are already an ICF credentialed coach, then the LPCC program is not necessary for you. Have you been trained in another style of coaching? We recommend checking whether this follows the ICF Core Competencies and schedule a call with one of our Program Advisors who can advise. If you have been working as a coach without an ICF credential, then the LPCC program can help you obtain your ACC credentials. However, you cannot count any of your previous coaching hours as coaching practice. The ICF wants to make sure you are practicing the coaching from a credentialed coaching school.
Around 75% of the cohort composition is from North America. Of the remaining 25%, students are spread geographically from around the world.
In the application, you need at least 5 years of professional experience. There are a lot of senior people in our program, some retired, some as a second career, CEO, COO, consultants, educators. We look at your experience and how you want to apply the learning from the program.
No more than 24 people. With few exceptions, every cohort is full.
We've had some very senior leaders in our program, as well as emerging leaders and everyone in between.
When the cohort is virtual, we have a much broader geographical spread. Currently, 75% of our participants are based in the USA or Canada. We are proud to have trained and worked with a diverse range of leaders from various backgrounds, including actors, musicians, government officials, healthcare professionals and nonprofit workers, who all share a common desire to serve.
