Reframing and Finding Joy in the Middle of the Ocean
Over the weekend I competed in the Gulf Coast 70.3, a half Ironman race, in Panama City Beach, Florida. It’s usually a fun race and I enjoy being able to bring my family along with me for a long weekend in the Sunshine State (especially after a Vermont winter that would rival any winter in […]
It’s Time to Unleash Joy
Over the past week or so, I’ve been studying content marketing strategies and how to really hone in on what differentiates Adam Hergenrother Companies, Adam Hergenrother Training, and me in general, from other business and leadership training organizations. One word: JOY. Yes, joy. It’s been something I’ve been working on and talking about behind the […]
Let Go of the Past and Future and Serve the Moment
Over the long holiday weekend, I was heading out for a day on the lake with my family when we came upon a motorcycle accident in the middle of a busy intersection. The accident must have just happened minutes before. There were no lights or sirens yet. No ambulance or cop cars. Just a mangled […]
4 Ways to Attract Talent During a Tight Labor Market
My organizations are still considered “small businesses.” Yes, we have over 300 independent contractors nationwide, yet we currently employ under 50 individuals. Adam Hergenrother Companies may be small in staff, but we are on track to hit about $1 Billion in annual revenue across all companies. We’re continuing to grow, expand our offerings, and help […]
Think Big. Act Small.
Last week, I again had the pleasure of hosting the Vermont Council on World Affairs. This time, we had a dynamic group of students from Africa studying entrepreneurship and business, and I introduced them to the quantum leap concept and course material. We only spent a few hours together, but we got deep quickly. These […]
Do This One Thing to Have More Effective Communication at Work
Remember the days when you’d anxiously wait for a call from that girl you liked, only to find out it was your Uncle calling to chat with your Dad? No? Just me? Okay, how about when you were 5 or 6 and loved every opportunity you got to call your grandparents just to tell them […]
You’re Stressed Out. Now What?
“I’m so stressed out!” I don’t have the exact data, but this I’m pretty sure this phrase has only been around for the last decade or so. Why has this saying become part of our national lexicon? Because we’re a society that is busy, burned out, over-scheduled, and generally overwhelmed. I don’t think we talk […]
Universal Leadership Questions
Last week I had the opportunity to host nine delegates under the auspices of the Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program in partnership with the Vermont Council on World Affairs. The delegates were specifically interested in learning about the economic, political, and social factors that influence development of small businesses, entrepreneurship, and innovation in […]
If It Was Easy, Everyone Would Be Doing It
Tomorrow we kick-off a new training program that I am more excited about than any other class or training I’ve done. Project | U is going to be a game changer. Yeah, sure, I think we’ve got great content, awesome guest speakers, and a packed year-long curriculum complete with a monthly book club, a fitness […]
What Do You Really Want?
When I was in my early twenties, I had my mind on money and money on my mind. I believed that once I reached a certain amount of annual income, I would feel a certain way. For me, that number was $500,000. $500,000 = happiness. I had tied my future happiness and joy to seeing […]
Real Estate Technology at Your Command
I just spent the past four days in New Orleans with 18,000 Keller Williams agents and associates.

The most […]
