I love discovering and sharing new ways to strengthen the connection between practitioners and clients because I truly believe that transformation happens through relationships. And I know we can do even more to deepen those connections, creating space for real growth and change.

What people are saying...
"Herky spoke to my association on generational differences in the workplace and I have to say that his material was amazing.
Listeners walked away thinking about the presentation and the feedback I received was that they were actually putting the material into action in the workplace.
This tells me that we chose the right presenter with the right skills to engage our membership.”
- Angie Zuba, Executive Officer, Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Lethbridge Region
“The wit and wisdom you provided for us as a keynote speaker, trainer and lunchtime entertainer at the Arkansas Career Guidance Association was very well received by everyone.
Your anecdotal view from personal awareness and surveys of youth and employers regarding generational differences or the lack thereof was eye-opening to our audience of career guidance teachers.
It provided great inspiration and insight. Thanks for enlightening us in Arkansas.”
- Ray Henson, Program Coordinator, State of Arkansas Department of Career Education
“I recently attended the NCDA Conference in the states. I really found your seminar very inspirational and you opened my eyes with your many and varied creative ideas.
In fact I have downloaded your e-book and plan to use one(or more) of your ‘work’ tunes in a workshop we are running on preparing our students for their internship.”
- Ann Evans, Careers and Graduate Employment Adviser, Student Services | The University of Queensland
“Herky is a great performer, career development professional, and speaker who infuses his passion for music into a wonderful workshop! He truly lifts spirits while he teaches valuable skills!”
- Dr. Ray Davis, South Carolina State Department of Education
“This was by far the best session for me @cannexus – being asked to engage and risk myself & to consider what it means to be an “artist” at work.
Sometimes you need to find that session that allows you to be a better version of yourself so that you can then be a better career practitioner.”
- Brenda Slomka, Assistant Director Student Affairs, University of Northern British Columbia
"Always a pleasure Herky! I knew I could just up and count on it being something worth my time.
And you delivered, as always. Thanks for being you!"
