Certification
Become a Certified Leadership Coach. Meets the criteria to apply for ICF Associate Certified Coach via the portfolio pathway.
Coaching is one of the fastest-growing professions in the world — and the most crowded. What sets a coach apart isn't a certificate. It's the depth to meet a person where they actually are. The LCA is built for that depth.
Six months from now, you'll have more than a credential.
A coaching methodology you can use in any conversation — at work, at home, in ministry, or with paying clients.
The confidence to hold high-stakes conversations without rushing to fix or rescue.
A repeatable framework grounded in neuroscience, somatics, and story work.
The credential and the business fundamentals to launch a paid practice — ICF ACC eligible.
A lifelong community of coaches who think, practice, and grow alongside you.
A deeper relationship with yourself — the whole-person work changes the coach first.
"The LCA didn't just teach me to coach. It changed how I show up in every relationship I have."
Questions people ask before they say yes
Do I need coaching experience?
No. Many participants are leaders, counselors, and pastors who've never called themselves "coaches." We start where you are.
Can I do this with a full-time job?
Yes. Two weekends plus online learning and calls is a rhythm designed for working professionals.
Will it help me start a practice?
Yes. Beyond methodology, we teach the business of coaching and graduate you ICF-eligible.
What if I'm not sure it's for me?
Reach out. We'll have an honest conversation about whether this is your right next step.
Is this your next step?
Have a question, or wondering if the LCA is right for you? We'd love to talk it through with you.
