Learn to use the research‑backed Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI®), a 360 assessment that reveals blind spots leaders cannot see and benchmarks behavior against global standards. It gives coaches a credible, structured foundation to elevate conversations with evidence‑based insights and drive measurable leadership change.
LPI® Trained Coach Certification Program — in partnership with HKIHRM

A well‑designed 360 is a catalyst for leadership growth. Coaching turns that insight into a practical plan leaders will act on.
The LPI® gives coaches both quantitative and qualitative feedback from the people leaders work most closely with, making conversations specific, credible, and actionable.
Built on The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership®, with more than 40 years of research. Measures the frequency of 30 observable leadership behaviours — rather than personality traits.
Higher engagement when The Five Practices are used frequently vs. rarely
95.8% highly engaged when used “Very Frequently / Almost Always” vs 4.2% when used no more than “Once in a While.”
Higher LPI® scores are also linked to satisfaction, retention, lower absenteeism, and stronger performance. The Five Practices account for 38.6% of the variance in engagement.

Observers provide feedback in their own words, making it genuine and realistic — not just a score.
Organizations can also add or adapt questions to fit their own leadership context.
These qualitative comments give coaches concrete examples to work with. The scores show the overall pattern, while the written comments make the coaching conversation practical and directly relevant to the leader’s workplace.
Gain a ready‑to‑use structure to develop better leaders — designed to uncover hidden strengths and blind spots that self‑perception alone will miss. You’ll also build practical coaching skills to follow up on these gaps, response effectively to common coachee reactions, and turn insights into meaningful conversations that drive behaviour change and strengthen leadership capability.
Practise coaching conversations, then complete both a written exam and an observed coaching assessment. One free retake is included if needed. Upon certification, you are formally qualified to apply the LPI® coaching framework with leaders — equipped not only with knowledge of the approach, but with the capability to use it effectively in practice.
Work with a proven coaching framework, a clear report, and practical tools that are ready to use. There’s no need to design a 360 assessment or build a coaching process on your own — everything is already prepared to help you focus on impactful coaching conversations and leadership growth.
