- Passion! Whether his speech is about sports, world events, or successfully meeting challenges, Henry Eber chooses subjects that he feels strongly about.
- Meticulous preparation.
- Crystal clear communication. Mindful that he is addressing a diverse audience, whether in the club, at a contest, or at a venue outside the club, he writes with such clarity that he cannot be misunderstood.
- He includes everybody! When speaking before a nonspecialized group such as Toastmasters, Henry understands that in order to keep every single person in the room involved in every moment of his speech, he cannot assume that every single person in the room is familiar with any given sports figure, movie star, or other public figure. If he refers to someone in his speech, he explains, briefly, who that person is.
- He speaks with sufficient volume and clarity that every person in the room, no matter where seated, can hear his voice and understand his words.
- Stories. Henry uses lots of stories when he gives a speech. Due to his application of the principles mentioned above, even if the story involves subject matter that a member of the audience has no prior interest in, that audience member quickly becomes interested in that subject matter, at least for as long as Henry is speaking about it!
- He cares about the audience. In addition to speaking about a subject that he personally feels passionate about, when delivering a speech, Henry does everything in his power to connect with the heart and mind of each and every person in the room.
