Testimonials
“As a speaker coach at the highest level it takes a lot for me to be impressed. I was blown away watching Henry teach what he knows best, book creating and storytelling. Wow. If you get an opportunity to learn from Henry, lean in and be a sponge. Bonus is he’ll keep you laughing too.”
“In our workshop, Henry helped each member of our group learn how to convert their selling proposition into a story. We were rapt for three hours. It was a fun learning experience. A master storyteller himself, Henry breaks down the essence of getting your message across by crafting a compelling story. There are eight types, he tells us — monster, underdog, comedy, tragedy, mystery, quest, escape and rebirth.”
“Henry DeVries gave a keynote at our 2018 Speaking Consulting Network conference and he was mesmerizing. We learned so much from him. He engaged our members and it was clear he did his homework on what our organization was all about. I recommend Henry to anyone who wishes to take their business to the next level of excellence.”
“As an author and national speaker myself, I’m always looking for ways to improve. His book and keynote are concise but spot-on with clear direction on how to enhance your storytelling ability whether you are a trainer, business executive, writer or salesperson. Henry makes it fun and easy to apply his strategies and improve as a storyteller. He persuaded me.”
