Frequently asked questions
What does Legacy Leadership Development specialize in?
Legacy Leadership Development lists leadership development, executive coaching, team development and training. The questions below explain these areas in plain terms — every listed area comes from the provider’s own site or profile.
What is leadership development?
Leadership development builds the skills of managers and leaders across a company — through coaching, training programs, assessments, and structured feedback. Where executive coaching is usually one leader working one-on-one, leadership development often spans a whole team or leadership tier. Its real test is behavior change on the job, not workshop attendance.
What is executive coaching?
Executive coaching is a one-on-one development partnership that helps a leader sharpen decision-making, communication, and presence. The coach works with the executive on specific goals — leading teams, navigating change, or stepping into a larger role — through structured conversations and feedback.
What does an executive coach do?
An executive coach helps a leader see blind spots, set measurable goals, and build the skills and habits to reach them. Engagements usually run over several months and focus on the real situations the leader faces at work.
What is team coaching, and how does it differ from team building?
Team coaching works with an intact team over time on how it actually operates — decisions, conflict, accountability. Team building is usually a shorter event aimed at trust and connection. Group coaching is different again: individuals with similar goals coached together for shared learning and lower cost. The formats get conflated, so ask which one is on offer.
What does it mean when a coach also offers keynote speaking or workshops?
Speaking and workshops teach at scale — one message to a room — while coaching works depth-first with one person or team over time. A coach who speaks regularly has usually packaged their method into a teachable framework; just note that a great talk and a great months-long engagement are different skills, and check evidence for the one you’re buying.
What is the MBTI?
The MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) is a personality assessment sorting people into 16 types based on preferences like introversion or extraversion. Coaches use it to build self-awareness and improve team communication.
What is Hogan?
Hogan Assessments are research-based personality tests used in leadership development, measuring everyday strengths, under-pressure derailers, and values. Certified coaches use them to ground executive coaching in data.
How do I choose an executive or leadership coach?
Look for relevant experience with leaders at your level, a clear process, and references you can check. Most coaches offer an introductory conversation so you can gauge fit before committing.
