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.

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!

Thank you for such an uplifting talk.
Thank you for your recent presentation to our All-Hands Meeting. 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.

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!

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 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.
