Robert Heath Sr. is a leadership architect, Marine Corps veteran, attorney, educator, and founder of The Legacy Leadership Consulting Group and The Legacy Builders Academy. For more than 25 years, he has dedicated his life to helping leaders live with alignment, lead with clarity, and build legacies that transcend titles, timelines, and outward definitions of success.

Robert believes we were never meant to simply survive—we were meant to thrive, no matter how chaotic the world may feel. His work sits at the intersection of purpose-driven leadership, personal mastery, and systems thinking, empowering high-achieving individuals and organizations to unlock not just peak performance, but profound fulfillment.

Rooted in the principles he lived as a U.S. Marine Corps Officer, Robert’s approach to leadership is simple—but not easy:

  • Define success on your terms.

  • Communicate courageously.

  • Lead with empathy and excellence.

  • Build systems that align your values with your results.

His career has spanned the classroom, the courtroom, and the battlefield.

His clients have reduced operational backlogs by millions, turned vision into executable strategy, and learned how to lead people—not just projects.

But at the core of Robert’s work is a belief that drives everything he does:

Every person has greatness within them. Leadership, at its best, is the process of bringing that greatness out in others.

Through Legacy, Robert helps people become Legacy Leaders—the kind of leaders who leave companies, communities, and families better than they found them.

If you’re looking to live in alignment with your values, lead with greater impact, and become more of the person you were meant to be, Robert’s work is designed to spark that next step. Because the world doesn’t just need more success stories. Success is common. Alignment is rare.
