LFT Leadership Inc., operating as Lead From Transformation, is a privately held Canadian corporation (registered as 14584538 o/a Lead From Transformation) founded in 2016 by Jon Hand and Greg Langman and headquartered in Southern Ontario. The company delivers faith-rooted leadership coaching, organizational consulting, and cohort-based training programs to business executives, non-profit leaders, and Christian/church leaders across North America. Its proprietary methodology, branded as Transformational Coaching, integrates leadership coaching frameworks with spiritual formation, relational neuroscience, ancient wisdom, and industrial-organizational psychology, structured around a four-stage transformation framework (Seeds, Roots, Shoots, Fruit) and seven Transformational Coaching Postures. LFT is a Level 1 International Coaching Federation (ICF) Accredited Coaching Education Provider, with combined Rooted and Awaken coursework delivering 75 hours of ICF-recognized training.

The product portfolio includes Rooted (9-week cohort, $799 CAD), Awaken (advanced training, $4,000 CAD, formerly Ascend), Finding and Using Your Inner Coach ($79 self-paced), one-on-one leadership coaching, 30-minute discovery sessions ($30 CAD), Organizational Thriving consulting engagements, and supporting content assets such as the Lead From Transformation Podcast and free Reflection Guides. All courses are delivered online via Zoom and the Thinkific LMS, with the Awaken program requiring an application/approval step and the company running free Discovery Session workshops as a top-of-funnel entry point. Since 2016, the company reports training over 600 leaders globally.

The business is bootstrapped and founder-owned with 1-10 employees, no institutional funding, and revenue figures not publicly disclosed. Geographic reach spans Canada and the United States via distributed trainers (Ontario, Alberta, Idaho), with an articulation agreement with Briercrest College and Seminary allowing Transformational Coaching graduates to apply credit toward a Leadership certificate or MA in Leadership and Management. Distribution is predominantly self-serve e-commerce for courses, direct inquiry for coaching, and a financial subsidy program to broaden access to course pricing.
