Resilience Assessment Workshop Testimonial: “As we prepared for a leadership offsite, I wanted someone from outside our organization to share perspective and Terry along with his framework was exactly what we needed. In 3 hours, he surfaced gaps we had not fully addressed, the need for sharper focus, more communication and faster ways to help people move through change, and he gave us the chance to work through them together in real time. Terry has an amazing gift for surfacing what is missing without ever making you feel like you fell short. Grateful for our session and looking forward to doing more together.” Wes Kapsa, Chief Revenue Officer, Wayground.

I spent years in locker rooms with Bill Walsh, Joe Montana, and Ronnie Lott, and I have never heard something so inspirational as your story.

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.

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.

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!

His business experience enabled him to tune his talk to the issues that our sales and marketing organization deals with every day.
Terry’s story was not just an inspirational one, but his business experience and background enabled him to tune his talk to the issues that our sales and marketing organization deals with every day – staying focused, building teams and trust, accepting change, and confronting life’s daily challenges.

A powerful reminder that one can grow through adversity
Terry’s message is a powerful reminder that one can grow through adversity. He presents a challenge to the listener that is compelling, and if embraced, has the potential to be life changing.

Terry’s spirit energized
Terry kicked off our marketing meeting and charged the room with tremendous enthusiasm and inspiration. His storytelling and positive attitude helped all of us to get a fresh perspective, and to leave our meeting focused on how to take control of and face life’s challenges. Terry’s spirit energized us, his humor was memorable, and he moved and touched all of us, setting the tone for a very positive and productive meeting.
Laura Fay Senior Director, Cisco Systems, Inc.
Terry spoke on the afternoon of a two-day meeting and fully captivated the room.
He is a very authentic and engaging speaker. Terry brought us along in his journey. Other than his voice – you could hear a pin drop. Nobody was on their phones or laptops – a true testament to his story and delivery. To say Terry’s story is inspirational is an understatement. What I got out of his session is that we all have that inner strength – we just need to tap into it and have the support of our friends, families and colleagues. Terry also provided his tool kit of what helped him not only survive but thrive. That tool kit is applicable to people’s personal and professional lives – as it centers on trust & teamwork, focus, positive thinking, balance and visualization. His session balanced out an intense meeting and provided a perspective that will help teams focus on what is really important. I highly recommend bringing Terry into speak at a professional or faith-based meeting. Side note – We also purchased books to hand out to the attendees. The book is very well written, inspirational and a quick read.

"Terry has an amazing gift"
“I am fascinated by the pace of innovation and change and have great empathy for how apprehensive it can feel to navigate it. As we prepared for a leadership offsite, I wanted someone from outside our organization to share perspective and Terry along with his framework was exactly what we needed.

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!
Rick Lyall President, AHM Security, Member, Leadership Council, The Wellness Community.
