Masterclass: June 18, 2026
Experience leadership coaching live — observe a real session, feel the process in action, and reflect on what effective coaching looks and feels like in practice.
What is the LPCC program?
Leadership Performance Coaching Certification (LPCC) is an ICF Level 1 accredited program delivered by ACT Leadership in partnership with Brown University School of Professional Studies. It runs over eight months, virtual or hybrid (Providence, Rhode Island), and is built for experienced leaders with five or more years in the field. Delivery is blended: experiential classroom instruction, group mentor coaching, 1:1 supervision calls, reading and reflection, and live practice coaching with peers.
What you will learn
You will learn more about yourself as a leader, what motivates you, what beliefs you operate from, and how those shape your effectiveness. From that foundation, you will build the coaching skills to lead individuals, teams and change in the workplace, grounded in developmental psychology, neuroscience and current leadership research.
What you will achieve
You will graduate with 100 hours of coach-specific training, 10 hours of mentor coaching, and a clear path to your ICF ACC credential. You will receive a certificate of completion from ACT Leadership and Brown University SPS with the option to progress to ICF Level 2 (PCC) via our new Leadership Equation Advanced Coaching Program (LEAP). Most importantly, you will leave able to coach others to maximize their performance and results.

Got a question about our coaching programs?
Each Embodied workshop and retreat are handled individually, depending on the space. Typically, attendance is limited to approximately 10-15 participants.
Accommodation is included in the cost of the Embodied program (when specified). Travel arrangements are made individually.
We suggest dressing comfortably, in clothing that allows natural movement.
The Embodied program is open to anyone to join.
The Embodied program is approved for 15.5 continuing education credits (CCEs). This is divided into 1.5 core competency credits and 14 resource development credits (1.5 CC and 14 RD).
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.
