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.

He set the tone for one of our best meetings ever!
I am proud to recommend Terry Healey as a motivational and inspirational speaker to any organization. Terry overcame tremendous adversity as a young man and has since emerged confident, strong, compassionate and well spoken. I can’t say enough about his shining spirit and unbelievable enthusiasm. When his presentation concluded, he set the tone for one of our best meetings ever! His talk was uplifting and inspired so many of my managers. They took stock in their own lives and re-evaluated what’s really important in life.

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.
Grant Riggs President & CEO, Riggs Distributing, Burlingame, CA.

Your ability to transform your life by facing your challenges head-on and learning how to place your trust in people and events was inspirational to our entire team. It was a good reminder about becoming more tolerant and less judgmental towards whatever life hands us. Thank you for such an uplifting talk.

You single handedly have set a bar
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!
