Let's solve your challenges together
Every organization is at a different stage of building its coaching culture. Whether you need to develop leaders, reset a team, certify internal coaches, or grow the coaches you already have, there's an ACT program designed for it.
Case studies
Challenge: DIA wanted to make coaching available agency-wide and weave it into the culture of leader development.
What ACT Did: Delivered our ICF-accredited Leadership & Performance Coach Certification (LPCC) program across 17 cohorts over five years.
Results: 500+ leaders certified · 99% improved relationships with direct reports · 2019 ICF Prism Award Finalist
Testimonial: "You changed the lives of 30 people and started the ripple that will affect an entire agency."
Challenge: To establish a deliberate focus on retaining top talent and improving mission outcomes by strengthening the leadership environment. The goal was to create a culture where individuals feel valued and have the opportunity for continued growth and development —enabling them to bring their best selves to work and contribute creatively to the mission.
What ACT Did: ACT’s Leader as Coach program was added to the Director’s Leadership Program. Leader as Coach, which was initially offered to GG13-15 and Senior Executive leaders as an elective, became required for all new Seniors (2021). LAC continues to be available to Civilian and Military leaders across the Enterprise.
Results: ACT has trained over 4,000 leaders via our Leader as Coach program. This program has been singled out as the biggest influencer in shifting the agency culture and is now mandated to all new senior leaders.
Challenge: Growing internal demand for coaching outpaced NIWC's supply of certified coaches.
What ACT Did: Delivered internal LPCC cohorts and enrolled additional participants through our Brown University partnership program.
Results: 2 internal cohorts delivered · 100% found significant value in the training · Command is now standing up a dedicated Coaching Executive Champion role
Testimonial: "The coaches created a safe space for optimum learning and growing."
Challenge: The US Air Force wanted their elite innovation incubator team of executive coaches to launch over a hundred new diverse project teams across the organization globally.
What ACT Did: Deliver a specialized internal Team Coaching certification program to elevate these well-established leaders.
Results: These coaches are ready for their ICF ACTC (team coaching) credential exam, and are currently launching and supporting dozens of teams across the organization. They have also developed standard yet flexible “best practices” for commissioning and supporting teams.
Testimonial: “Participating in this Team Coaching Program has fundamentally shifted my perspective on what it means to develop high-performing groups. Professionally, the program has sharpened my ability to coach leaders on systems-level thinking, helping them find their voice to advocate for vital resources and transition temporary projects into enduring, sustainable capabilities."

Challenge: USTRANSCOM wanted to build an internal cadre of certified coaches to support 1:1 coaching across the command.
What ACT Did: Trained 12 nominated leaders through our LPCC program to certify as coaches and pursue ICF credentialing.
Results: 94% received significant value from training · 93% see application of coaching skills at work
Testimonial: "This is a good course that needs to continue within USTRANSCOM so there is a cadre of Coaches and Mentors and this concept has become part of the culture."

Have questions about our programs?
ACT partners with a wide range of organizations, from Fortune 500 companies and global consulting firms to healthcare systems, universities, and federal agencies. Whether you're a small leadership team or a large enterprise, ACT designs initiatives that meet you where you are. What sets ACT apart is a simple but powerful framework: Awareness. Choice. Transformation. Rather than delivering one-size-fits-all training, ACT designs programs that help people and organizations recognize their patterns, understand the choices available to them, and take meaningful action, building every engagement around lasting impact, not just a one-time workshop experience.
ACT offers four core solutions for organizations: Leader As Coach, for leaders at all levels who want to develop more coach-like skills; Team Effectiveness Acceleration, for teams that need to reset and strengthen their foundation; Coaching Certification (Level 1 & 2), for individuals who want to become ICF-credentialed coaches; and Team Coaching / LEAP Coaching, for organizations that already have coaches and want to support their continued growth.
Leader As Coach is designed for managers and leaders at all levels within an organization who want to bring a coaching mindset into their everyday leadership. Participants learn practical coaching skills: how to ask better questions, listen more deeply, and bring out the best in the people around them. It's less about becoming a professional coach and more about leading in a way that develops others and strengthens the organization as a whole.
ACT is certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) as a Women-Owned Small Business. For organizations with supplier diversity goals, and for federal agencies with small business contracting requirements, this designation makes ACT a strong and compliant partner choice.
Team Effectiveness Acceleration goes well beyond a typical team-building activity. It's a structured program designed to help teams within an organization examine the dynamics, patterns, and foundations that are either supporting or limiting their effectiveness. Teams leave with shared language, stronger trust, and a clearer path forward, not just a good day out of the office.
The easiest way to get started is to reach out through the Contact the Team form on this page. A member of the ACT team will follow up to learn more about your organization's goals and explore how ACT can help.
Federal agencies can engage ACT directly through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), which streamlines the procurement process for organizations and ensures compliance. ACT is an approved contractor, making it straightforward for federal teams to access coach training and leadership development services at pre-negotiated rates.
Yes. All of ACT's programs are available in a fully virtual format using the latest digital learning tools, making it easy for organizations of any size or location to participate. Virtual delivery maintains the same quality and engagement as in-person: no travel required, no compromise on the experience.
