Inspirational Message
Terry spoke at our recent departmental offsite. His inspirational message coupled with his unassuming and approachable style helped set the tone for what ended up being a positive, collaborative and successful session. Terry’s personal story of triumph over adversity is extremely relevant to all of us who struggle to achieve a healthy balance in both our personal and professional lives.

Inspiring!
Inspiring, actionable advice for everyone because inevitably we encounter setbacks in life that require resilience.

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.

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!
Kevin Hrusovsky President, Life Sciences & Technology, PerkinElmer
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."

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.

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!
