A leading healthcare services company agreed to another year of sponsorship after hearing your presentation.
I really thought you did an incredible job driving home in such a personal way what The Wellness Community meant to you at our annual Fundraiser event at the Orinda Country Club. I really feel you single handedly have set a bar that will be very difficult if not impossible for us to beat at this fundraiser in years to come!! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with the rest of us and at the same time help raise not only awareness but also valuable funds to help keep the program thriving into the future. A leading healthcare services company agreed to another year of sponsorship after hearing your presentation which basically results in about $100,000.00 in related funding for this event next year!!!!

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.

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!

Anything is achievable no matter what the adverse conditions are
I saw Terry speak at an event in Bend, Oregon about 6 months ago and I knew he would be the perfect speaker for our annual dealer lunch in Burlingame, CA. Terry and I have known each other for many years, and I was truly inspired listening to his first-hand experience of battling cancer throughout his life. Terry’s story touched each of us at our luncheon for various reasons. The most common theme was that anything is achievable no matter what the adverse conditions are. Terry’s onstage presence was humbling for everyone in the audience. We look forward to having him back in the future.

His "ReBAR" tips and tools for building resilience are incredibly helpful.
"It was an honor to host Terry Healey at our Evergreen Ave Collaborative. He shared a truly touching perspective on navigating life's adversities and not only surviving but thriving because of them. His "ReBAR" tips and tools for building resilience are incredibly helpful, both in personal situations and when applied in the workplace. The evening was a wonderful experience of sharing, connection, and great conversation among all who attended. I highly recommend his engagements for anyone seeking a deeply meaningful and thought-provoking experience. Attendees will undoubtedly leave feeling uplifted and equipped with the mindset needed to tackle and overcome life's challenges."
