How Does A Misfit Cope?

Explore the fascinating world of how Herky copes—a true testament to resilience and finding yourself. When he felt like he didn't quite fit in, Herky set out on a journey to develop some special skills that not only made him stand out but also helped him blend into society better.

With a mix of leadership, public speaking, facilitation, and creativity, Herky carved a niche for himself. What's cool is that these skills, meant to draw attention, also became the tools that made socializing easier.

But Herky's story goes beyond just learning skills—it's about becoming more aware and empathetic. His experiences as a misfit gave him this "sixth" sense, a strong intuition sharpened from years on the outskirts of society. This intuition helps him pick up on things others might miss and quickly tackle issues in people and groups.

Fueled by his own struggles, Herky's drive to help others comes from truly understanding what it's like to feel like you don't belong. He knows firsthand how developing skills to fit in can change your life, and he's on a mission to help others do the same.

In Herky's world, being different isn't a roadblock—it's a chance to grow. Through his story and expertise, he encourages clients to embrace their quirks, use their talents, and start a journey toward feeling empowered and accepted. Don't miss out on the chance to unlock your potential and rewrite your story with Herky—the adventure is waiting.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Long, Winding, & VERY Rewarding Road!

Herky's journey has been a whirlwind of exciting experiences! It all began when he started his own paper route at just 12 years old, followed by his first "real" job as a grocery packer at 14. His strong work ethic, passed down from his dad, guided him through it all. "My dad always said, it's not about the job you do, but how well you do it," recalls Herky.

School wasn't Herky's favorite place, and it showed in his academic performance. Without the grades for college right after high school, he dove into various jobs, soaking up skills, connections, and enjoying each role along the way.

Everything changed for Herky in his early 20s, thanks to John Logan from VRRI in Calgary, Alberta. John's blunt feedback on Herky's sales skills in real estate prompted a career shift, leading him to work with at-risk youth—an inspiring tale he shares in his keynotes. From residential treatment centers to classrooms (yes, Herky even became a high school teacher and guidance counselor because he knew he could make a difference!), he's been deeply involved in youth support and career development.

In 1993, after being let go from a school for some unconventional office habits (think feet on the desk and too many post-it notes!), Herky ventured into private therapy practice and founded Foothills Youth & Family Services Inc. (FYFS).

From therapy to consulting, career development, and earning degrees in education and human resources, Herky has crafted numerous programs to help youth and organizations thrive. His journey is a testament to growth, resilience, and the power of seizing opportunities.

And Today…

Herky’s purpose is to “create possibilities for individuals and organizations to become extraordinary!” He does this through training, speaking, coaching, teaching and writing.

Herky focuses on Leadership, Organizational Fitness & Development, Issues in the Workplace and Career Development. Herky says…

“I bring a wealth of experience to the table with a background in business, education, and career development. From my work with at-risk youth to my work with at-risk organizations, I have learned that ‘fitting in” is not necessarily a good thing, nor is being a “misfit’  a bad one. Organizational ‘fitness’ has less to do with people ‘fitting in’ and maintaining the status quo, and more to do with them developing skills and attitudes that move the organization forward.”
