Robert Anthony Heath, Sr. is an engaging communicator and leading expert in Empowering Leadership. His work is centered on helping people find their passion, empowering them to achieve their dreams, and giving them the tools to empower others to do the same.
Robert received his JD, cum laude, from the University of Illinois College of Law. He also holds an MA in Teaching from Christian Brother's University, as well as dual BA degrees in Economics and Speech Communications from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He served for 8 years as a United States Marine Corps Officer, receiving the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for his leadership as a Commander of one of the largest companies in the Marine Corps.
Over the past 20 years, he has served in many leadership roles across various industries. During this time, he has been able to guide thousands of people on their journeys of awakening their inner leader. From his time as a Spanish teacher and a basketball coach, to his record setting efforts as an attorney, to his award winning work as a Company Commander, Robert has worked to embody the proverb Aristotle spoke so long ago, that “excellence is a habit rather than the result of a single action.”
Robert believes that his career, his accomplishments, and his success in life are the proof that no matter who you are, or where you come from, everyone is capable of developing a habit of excellence. Robert firmly believes that excellence is the result of the cultivation and implementation in one’s life of certain success principles. His leadership training is grounded in this idea and his belief that with the proper guidance, everyone has the capacity to develop a habit of excellence in themselves, and in others.
He is the President and Founder of the Legacy Empowerment Academy Companies and the CEO of Legacy Leadership Consulting. Combining the Leadership principles he learned as an Officer and Company Commander in the United States Marine Corps with the personnel development strategies he has mastered over 20 years of leading, teaching, and coaching, Robert works with leaders who desire to increase initiative and follow through, reduce stress, and get the very best out of their team on every project, regardless of who they may lead.
Robert’s most important accomplishment is being a loving husband and father. Robert and his family live in the Grand Rapids, MI area.
