Testimonials from The Higgins Group's Satisfied Clients

I have worked with Dr. Jim Higgins in the consulting field for over 15 years. Jim has started divisions for our company and grown them significantly while maintaining a consulting practice that upholds his strong reputation. Not only does he have deep knowledge of what it takes to be a successful leader, but he also brings extensive consulting skills in many areas, enhancing customer experiences. He has provided valuable consulting services to leaders from a wide variety of organizations while working for our company and is highly respected in his field. His understanding of human behavior, combined with his science-based expertise in personnel selection, enables him to provide professional feedback that will make him an excellent leadership coach for anyone looking to increase their effectiveness as a leader or executive.

Jim is one of the best coaches I’ve had the privilege of working for. It wasn’t just his expertise and the way he walked me through each challenge; he really listened to me and enhanced my customer experiences. Instead of merely handing me answers, he asked insightful questions that helped me find my own way in the end, which built my confidence. Jim has a gift for recognizing potential in people long before they see it in themselves. When he first hired me as an analyst, I had no interest in supervision. But Jim recognized the potential to lead others within me, and I was promoted to supervisor within six months. Fast forward 12 years, and I now lead a group of 50 people. His professional feedback was always honest, specific, and rooted in a desire to see me grow. I consistently walked away from our conversations with more clarity than when I entered, making me a better leader today due to the years I spent under Jim’s guidance.

As the manager of the Office of Professional Development for a large, public-sector organization, I oversee the development and provision of state-wide training focused on enhancing customer experiences. My role demands that I constantly pour myself into others; however, I reached a point where I needed to invest in my own growth. My opportunity to work with Dr. Higgins transformed not only my career but my entire approach to personal and professional development. Dr. Higgins didn't just teach me standard management theories; he guided me through deep self-reflection, helping me understand my unique leadership footprint and blind spots. A breakthrough was the shift in how I navigate professional relationships, especially with my team. Dr. Higgins equipped me with the tools to listen more deeply, lead with heightened empathy, and build authentic connections across all levels of the organization. His insights and connections compelled me to reflect on my professional feedback and strive to be a better version of myself. If you need a coach or mentor who genuinely looks out for your best interest, I recommend reaching out to Dr. Higgins. He will challenge you to grow and support you in filling any gaps you may have while simultaneously helping you identify your strengths.
