Everyone in attendance was riveted by his survival story
We were privileged to have Terry Healey keynote our Revolutionaries for Global Health Summit in San Francisco. As a cancer survivor, his talk drove home PerkinElmer’s mission of eradicating cancer. Everyone in attendance was riveted by his survival story – it was wonderful to see his story inspire the doctors, government officials, investors, scientists, and researchers to work harder in the global battle against cancer. It brought PerkinElmer’s applications & technologies, science, and patients’ struggles together to show the big picture of what can be done to eradicate this disease. Seeing how Terry’s talk first-handedly motivated such a large group of diverse people to come together as a global health revolutionaries’ movement against cancer/disease was a once in a lifetime experience!

Terry is a very skilled speaker and immediately captivated us.
Terry was highly recommended to us when we searched for an inspiring speaker for our recent team offsite, and we quickly determined he would be a great match. Terry is a very skilled speaker and immediately captivated us. He shared very powerful and personal details of his triumph over cancer and gave all of us the means to apply his gained knowledge and perspective to our daily lives. His story resonated with all of us, and we all came away very touched by Terry’s outlook on life. I highly recommend him! I am also reading his book, At Face Value, and am already hooked after just the first few pages.

Terry was able to re-energize the room
Terry was the final presenter at our meeting after a full day of business updates. Right off the bat, Terry was able to re-energize the room and remind all of us how important it is to take control of our lives and make each day fulfilling. His storytelling and presentation style really brought to life how each of us needs to be present, aware and alert, and the messages and lessons shared were so appropriate for everyone. On a scale of 1-5, Terry’s evaluation came in at 4.8, and the positive comments and enthusiasm expressed after the meeting by attendees really helped to prove how motivating his presentation was.

An inspirational message to help lead
Every company in every industry is faced with adversity at one point of time or another. Terry delivers such an inspirational message to help lead during those times through the messaging of teamwork, focus and positive thinking. I can’t recommend a more insightful speaker who makes you see the bigger picture to get through any challenge. Terry inspired the entire room to want to do better with their lives, as he has done. Well done, Terry!
