Frequently Asked Questions

This FAQ was created to help you get the most out of your Legit Leader™ experience

What is Legit Leader’s coaching platform, exactly?

Legit Leader’s coaching platform is built by and for education leaders. It offers a suite of AI-powered coaching tools designed to save you time, increase your impact, and support your growth. Whether you’re looking for thought partnership, planning support, or help navigating day to day leadership challenges, Legit Leader is here to help.

How do the AI coaches work?

Legit Leader AI powered coaches are designed to simulate a seasoned educational leader who is a thought partner: they ask reflective questions, offer tailored suggestions, and generate ready-to-use tools or drafts based on your needs. We define strong outputs as being about 80% ready — a solid starting point that leaders can then adapt to their unique context. The more context you provide, the more precise and personalized their support becomes. We do not see our coaches as replacing the critical thinking leaders do, but rather as accelerating the process — helping you get further, faster.

Is my data safe on Legit Leader?

Yes. We take data privacy seriously. Your information is stored securely, never shared without your permission, and only used to provide personalized support. You can review our full privacy policy.

How often should I use Legit Leader to get the most out of it?

We recommend using Legit Leader at least 3 times per week to build momentum and see consistent impact, ideally making it part of a daily leadership practice. Even 10–15 minutes a day can provide clarity, save time, and strengthen your leadership skills.

We’ve seen the greatest impact when Legit Leader is used collectively by leadership teams — whether that’s principals across a network or district, or a full school-based leadership team using the tools together. When leaders work in parallel, they build shared language, accelerate alignment, and reinforce collective growth.

Is there a limit to usage?

No — there is no limit! You can use Legit Leader as often as you’d like. In fact, we encourage frequent and consistent use to maximize the impact of the tools and deepen your leadership practice.

How is Legit Leader different from ChatGPT?

While both Legit Leader and ChatGPT are powered by generative AI, Legit Leader is built for school leaders. Our tools are:

  • Led by founders who are leaders of color — our team approaches this work through an equity lens, and Legit Leader’s mission is rooted in the belief that advancing educational equity begins with strong, supported leadership.
  • Shaped by direct input from school leaders and built by former school leaders with a combined 50+ years of experience to reflect the real challenges and goals of school leadership
  • Grounded in our unique leadership development framework that is composed of five core domains: Leading from the Center, Digital Discernment, Belonging by Design, Equity in Practice, and Coaching for Capacity
  • Designed as leadership coaches — our tools go beyond generating outputs; they engage users in ways that strengthen leadership skills and decision-making. Whether supporting a feedback conversation or planning session, each interaction is an opportunity to accelerate growth and deepen leadership practice.

Can I give feedback or request new tools or features?

Yes, please! We’re building Legit Leader alongside our users. We’re continuously developing more expert coaches to meet the evolving needs of school leaders. We’ll be rolling out these new tools over the coming months. Share your feedback and ideas anytime.

Do you also offer human leadership coaching?

Yes! This fall 2025, we are launching a pilot of our hybrid coaching model - a powerful combination of human coaching with our AI-powered coaching platform. We also offer traditional executive leadership coaching that provides high-frequency support through deep, relationship-centered coaching.
