Hery Henry’s story is one of passion and purpose, a journey that began not as the star performer, but as a behind-the-scenes orchestrator of greatness. From his earliest days on stage, Hery discovered his talent for creating the perfect context for others to shine, setting the stage for a career in speaking and moderating: “I’ve been on stage since I was a kid. However, I wasn’t someone who brought home the trophy in anything particular; I wasn’t the best athlete, artist, dancer or singer, but I was always very good at explaining a context and helping others get there. So the one thing that I got very experienced at already at a young age was being the moderator for stages where others could shine. I very quickly found the power in knowing exactly what type of stage and context you need so that you can shine and I’ll show you how.”
“Rhetorich opened my eyes to facets of my speaking style I never knew existed.”
As he navigated through various roles within companies, Hery’s unique blend of event coordination and presentation training set him apart. Yet, it wasn’t until he encountered Rhetorich, an innovative AI-powered platform, that he truly embraced the transformative potential of technology in coaching.
“Rhetorich opened my eyes to facets of my speaking style I never knew existed,” Hery admits.”After uploading some videos to the platform, the AI came back to me saying that I was doing fine, but I wasn’t at all likable. This was surprising to me as I’ve always been the likable guy, so I wanted to understand why this was the case. I gave my videos another look and asked for feedback from people who have often seen me speak. They told me that the AI’s feedback is actually very accurate, but no one wants to be the one to tell this to you. As the analysis was spot on, I started using Rhetorich as my go-to tool in public speaking ever since.”
With its blend of data-driven feedback and human intuition, the Rhetorich platform also revolutionized his coaching approach, allowing him to empower clients in ways he never thought possible. For Hery, the magic of Rhetorich lies in its seamless integration of AI and human coaching. “It’s not about replacing humans with machines,” he emphasizes, “but enhancing our ability to connect authentically through speech.”
“How can you change the world if you can’t articulate your vision? It’s through speech that we inspire change and make our voices heard.”
As a coach, Hery’s dedication knows no bounds. With his motto “whatever it takes,” he goes above and beyond to support his clients, infusing each session with energy and authenticity. Whether he’s busting a move to set the mood or witnessing the growth of a protege, every moment holds significance.
In a world dominated by digital noise, Hery champions the power and skill of being able to turn complex questions into simple ones through storytelling: “The interesting thing is that evidently all science points in one direction and one direction only; storytelling is the most memorable way of speaking. For me the intellectual sweet spot is to understand and challenge ourselves to turn the “not-so-interesting” speeches into something that people want to listen to? A lot of the time it’s precisely these types of innovation that change the world, but no one wants to hear about them or doesn’t understand the context when they do. How do we use the toolkit of storytelling and public speaking to make the valuable, complex and sometimes even a bit boring into something that everyone wants to hear about?”
In an era where communication is paramount, Hery underscores the importance of honing one’s speaking abilities. “How can you change the world if you can’t articulate your vision?” he challenges, “It’s through speech that we inspire change and make our voices heard.”
In the end, perhaps the greatest lesson we can glean from Hery’s journey is this: In a world of algorithms and analytics, it’s our ability to connect authentically with one another that truly sets us apart. As Hery’s story reminds us, it’s in the intersection of AI and human coaching that true transformation occurs.
