Speaker Bio:

Nick Higgins is a tech leader, speaker, and executive coach who works with successful professionals and leaders facing the deeper questions that often rise beneath ambition, accomplishment, and outward success.

Drawing on a career that spans pastoral ministry, public education, and corporate leadership, Nick brings a grounded perspective to the inner questions that success often exposes but does not answer. His work is informed by applied leadership psychology and ongoing development with leadership psychologist Dr. Chad Hattrup, with a focus on helping people better understand the patterns, motivations, and assumptions shaping how they live and lead.

Through coaching and speaking, he helps leaders develop the kind of inner clarity that changes more than careers. It shapes how they make decisions, how they show up for others, and how they contribute in the places where leadership actually matters.

Talk Title:

The Myth of the Perfect Job.

Talk Summary:

We’ve built an entire culture around the promise that the right role will finally make us feel whole. So when something feels off, we instinctively chase the next promotion, raise, team, or opportunity.

But here’s what I’ve learned: many successful people are misreading their restlessness.

This talk addresses why success doesn’t always feel the way we thought it would, why no job can carry the full weight of our identity and fulfillment, and what it looks like to build a life that actually fits.
