Bio
Aidan Higgins is an Entrepreneur, Educator and a Mentor with 20 years experience working within both emerging and established businesses in Ireland and the UK. With an innate sense of humor and love of working with groups, Aidan is also an experienced motivator, once described by the Irish Independent as using the “oratory techniques of an evangelical preacher”. Aidan has experience in presenting ideas influentially to large groups and has shown he is equally able to coach a team or present a concept to a room of 300+.
A Henley MBA focusing on Leadership and on Emotional Intelligence and a Bachelors Degree in Industrial Engineering from NUI Galway have been enhanced by further qualifications in areas such as the Enneagram and NLP, powerful soft skills which he has been using in Business and Personal life for many years. As well as being a Master Practitioner of NLP and a Certified Enneagram Teacher, Aidan has done original research on the impact of the Enneagram on Emotional Intelligence.
Aidan has an interesting rugby background where he played Club Rugby for teams as diverse as his College, Galwegians, London Irish and Landsdowne and also Representative Rugby at various levels over the years. Since he finished playing he has coached Rugby almost continuously and this has led to an inate grasp of multi-role teamwork to all his work and of course to his Coaching style.
As well as his own business interests, Aidan also lectures in Management Consulting at the University of Limerick, Kemmy Business School and has given guest lectures in Trinity College Dublin and the Irish Management Institute. Aidan has won (with his management team it must be stressed) a number of awards for people development and business growth and has penned articles for The Sunday Business Post, Business and Finance, Irish Computer, Irish Finance and ComputerScope. Aidan is chairman of the Henley Management College Irish Alumni Network.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Teddy Roosevelt - The Arena.
