Leadership Equation Advanced Coaching
LEAP equips coaches with ACT's proprietary Leadership Equation framework — a practical, dynamic tool for exploring what's actually driving leadership performance and sustaining client development beyond the coaching room.

Ask a leader today how they are performing and they often struggle to answer.
Leadership today is more complex, fast and uncertain than any framework or assessment can hold.
The environment keeps shifting, and everything is interconnected in ways that even the most skilled leaders can't always see.
And yet, most leadership development still tries to fix things in place. Strengths, competencies, goals. An illusion of control that misses what's actually running underneath.
The Leadership Equation is a different way to see it.
An equation has two things: an outcome and the variables that drive it.
In the Leadership Equation, the outcome is leadership performance.
The variables are what's producing it.
All of it shaped by the environment you're leading in
It’s a living, dynamic system, where you can see how you’re showing up, the impact you’re having and what you’re connected to.
Four variables. One context. Always interacting.
What the Program Includes:
- 25 Core Training hours (18 synchronous and 7 asynchronous)
- One Live Module - 3 virtual training days with two ACT Co-Trainers

- The Leadership Equation by Mike Hutchins, ACT Co-Founder. The equation is brought to life through story and used as a living case study throughout the program, with access to the book’s microsite.

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.
