Legacy Sparkers: golden laurel branch around a circle with a red spark

Our mission


In a moment of the world when labeling has become more of a habit than listening, and building walls comes before building bridges, Legacy Sparkers is where people of goodwill meet, grow and contribute.

Leaders from the private, public and non-profit sectors, diverse in background, rich in ideas and aligned in values.

Here, goodwill is the only currency. Growth is mutual. And your legacy is built with others, not despite them.

Because legacy is never a solo journey

What we do

A space in between, where leaders meet beyond polarization

We connect across sectors, support each other through what matters, and turn shared convictions into opportunities we build together.

I

Find trusted peers

A small, intentional circle of leaders who listen before they label, and tell each other the truth.

II

Amplify each other

We open our networks, share our platforms and speak up for one another's work.

III

Incubate ideas

We test ideas together and help the best of them become projects with real-world impact.

IV

Shape your legacy

We help each other name the legacy we want to leave, and move towards it, one decision at a time.

The founding circle

Eleven leaders, one shared brain

Cassis, France

Our first retreat

Three days by the Mediterranean that turned a circle into a movement

In Cassis, the founding members took stock, shared the stories that brought each of us here, and each committed to one spark to light before the end of 2026. Our motto for what comes next: live our legacy now.

How we work

Six commitments we hold each other to

Goodwill first

Goodwill is the only currency. We come to give as much as to receive.

Listening before labeling

We meet the person before the position, across sectors, cultures and convictions.

Peer-led

The circle is run by its members, not by a hierarchy. Each of us leads where she brings the most.

Two languages, one voice

We work in English and French, and welcome every accent in between.

Mutual growth

No one grows alone here. Every success is shared, and so is every lesson.

Legacy in action

Ideas matter when they reach the world. We measure ourselves by what we help happen.

Want to spark a legacy with us?

Legacy Sparkers is growing beyond its founding circle. If you lead in the private, public or non-profit sector and share our values, we would love to hear from you.
