About the Author

As a boy, Leon asked, Whats beyond Nassau? What adventures await? He could have been a fisherman, farmer, or minister. He asked for Gods intervention, and he became a unique fisher of men. Though his journey took him far from The Bahamas, he returned to a greater and higher vision.

Barefoot to Boardroom chronicles Leons unique journey and important milestones. His rise from an impoverished upbringing to an accomplished educator is noteworthy. As you follow his journey, you will meet people who nurtured him. You will gain insight into his relationship with his sons, a turbulent marriage, and an intriguing rebirth. Leons stay in the United States provides for exciting reading, but his rise to a college presidency in The Bahamas, a Director of Higher Education and the Secretary General for The Bahamas National Commission for UNESCO is insightful and motivational.

Barefoot to Boardroom reminds us of our dreams and how to convert them into realities.

"Barefoot to the Boardroom" is an extraordinarily account of one man’s dream to “follow that star no matter…how hopeless, no matter how far”. The story commences with a vast ocean of separation that could symbolize many obstacles. For Leon Higgs, it appeared that he would be left barefoot on the shores of Andros, but he reached for a star that opened a pathway to incredible success. He accomplished the impossible through his strong faith that parted the oceans of despair to more magnanimous shores of partnerships, collaboration, and opportunities. No longer barefoot, his shoes of faith led him to the “Boardroom” and to unbelievable success.

The book is an easy read that will keep your attention from the anecdotal story of the key his kindergarten teacher thought she lost to the golden key that unlocked the “Boardroom” door. The book is a testimony of faith that could be your story, his accomplishments could be your accomplishments, and his life is a reflection of God’s promise for us to “ask, and it shall be given…; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened...”

I highly recommend this book to everyone, because it will help “identify and develop your gifts so that you can make your unique contribution to society.” This is a read that will not only make an indelible impression on you, but will be an impetus to change your life!

Forgot to eat breakfast, comb my hair, drink water...I picked this book up from 9am and finished exactly 12pm. If I was ever looking for inspiration through the life of someone alive today, Dr. Leon Higgs is the perfect candidate....when I was finished reading this great book, I had to give him a call and share with him how much enthusiasm he has now imparted to... from a 👣 island boy to wearing the 👞in control of the boardroom...awesome autobiography. #bahamianauthor #bahamianboss #inspirational #pursuit #proudbahamian #nothingisimpossiblewithgod #dreamscancometrue #neverdoubtsmallbeginnings
