A 3 minute and 44 second keynote sampler where Henry Evans introduces the language, behaviors and communication habits that build trust, strengthen accountability and elevate leadership effectiveness.
This 3 minute and 44 second preview features Henry Evans sharing a practical, human-centered approach to accountability and leadership. He opens by reframing the often intimidating concept of accountability, emphasizing that leaders can apply it with greater empathy and clarity. Henry notes that today’s leaders process 30 times more information per day than people did in 1985, which contributes directly to the implementation challenges organizations face. He cites a striking example: the average implementation rate of a strategic plan is 10 percent once it has been written, but client organizations that apply the accountability language he teaches have reached implementation rates of 86 percent over a seven-year period.
He highlights a core leadership truth: it does not matter what leaders think of themselves. What matters is the perception others hold. Trust is the foundation of every relationship, and vulnerability is the conduit to trust. Modeling honesty, owning mistakes and communicating clearly are essential to creating that trust.
Henry introduces the concept of the “glossary of failure,” a list of vague or ambiguous terms commonly used in everyday workplace conversations. These unclear phrases lead to misinterpretation and poor execution because they ask others to translate gray instructions into precise action. Eliminating them is a key step in building high-accountability cultures across industries ranging from national security to food service to financial services.
He offers one of his most actionable practices: publishing commitments proactively. Leaders should send concise updates that list their responsibilities for the next 30 days, include specific deadlines, identify clear owners and share the information openly so accountability is transparent. When leaders model this behavior, teams follow; it cannot be preached, only demonstrated.
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
