LEAP WINTER 2027 - OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT
Ask a leader how they're performing today, and most will pause. Not because they lack self-awareness — but because the question is harder than it looks.
Leadership today is more complex, faster-moving, and more interconnected than any framework can capture. Most development still tries to solve for this with fixed answers: strengths, competencies, goals. Tools that offer an illusion of control while missing what's actually running underneath.
LEAP starts from a different premise. An equation has two elements: an outcome and the variables that produce it. In the Leadership Equation, the outcome is leadership performance and the variables are everything shaping it. Four core dimensions, one dynamic context, always interacting.
It's a living system — one that helps leaders see how they're showing up, the impact they're having, and what they're connected to. LEAP is for leaders ready to work at that level of complexity. Not to be fixed. To see more clearly, adapt more skillfully, and lead with greater intention.

Have questions about our programs?
Yes. There are three 90-minute Mentor Coaching Group (MCG) calls on 3 separate days. Multiple time slots will be offered on MCG days. A makeup MCG option is available if one is missed.
LEAP provides your core training hours, and the Level 2 Add-On provides the necessary “evaluation” for the Level 2/PCC through the 3 enhanced mentor coaching sessions. You still need to accumulate your 500 practice coaching hours.
No, you'd just take the base LEAP program, and it counts toward your CCEs for renewal.
Yes, it provides 27 CCE credits (continuing coaching education). The LEAP program is approved for 20.96 Core Competency and 5.76 Resource Development hours.
Right now the program is open only to LPCC alumni; this will expand in the future.
No, you just need to have completed a Level 1 program (LPCC). The ACC credential isn't required.
LEAP (Leadership Equation Advanced Program) is built around the idea that leadership performance is shaped by an interacting set of variables rather than fixed strengths or competencies. LEAP is designed for leaders who want to move beyond fixed frameworks and static self-assessments, aiming instead to see more clearly, adapt more skillfully, and lead with greater intention.
LEAP is grounded in the idea that an equation has two elements: an outcome and the variables that produce it. In LEAP's framework, the outcome is leadership performance, shaped by four core dimensions operating within one dynamic context, always interacting.
