I see nothing but immense value for my team members in their personal and professional growth.”

And what a message! A room full of nodding heads - hundreds of "ah ha" moments. The feedback was all the same, "bring Terry back next year".

Her presentation, delivery and energy are second to none.

Her message is so powerful and yet so simple. Thank you so much for recommending her."

"Not only did she [Terry] hit a home-run with her presentation but she hit a grand slam. Witty, engaging and true to the core were her messages of goals and keeping out of the "Pit!" Her insights on leadership skills were inspirational as was her ability to keep our audience connected. She did a fantastic job and made us look good."
- Karen Conlon, CEO | CACM (California Association of Community Managers)
 
"Terry was a most extraordinary keynote speaker at our New York City nursing conference. All 350 participants were totally engaged and moths later refer to "Stick man" as a symbol for positive change both personally and organizationally. Program evaluations were excellent. Terry's dynamic, energetic and humorous presentation was irresistible and motivational"
- Rosanne, Raso RN MS NEA-BC, Senior VP, Nursing Services | Lutheran Medical Centre, Brooklyn, New York

"I have followed a lot of speakers in my career but Terry was the best. Her message and presentation style had the audience totally engaged. Terry uses a mixture of humor and insight that left this group energized and engaged. Normally, I spend a few minutes in my talks trying to connect with the audience and raise their energy level. No need following Terry. And to be honest, I actually took some notes to use in my own life. Stick man rules!"

"WOW!!! What a truly enjoyable and inspiring day... The most I have ever received out of a work seminar EVER... I will definitely be putting into place back at work what I learned from the day... I bragged about how good the day was to my wife and work colleagues... I have highly recommended you to both that if they get the chance to go alone and see you to take it and embrace the experience... You know that at these work things you can tell the greatness of the presentation from how interactive the audiences are... I have NEVER seen such an interactive audience at Ramsay Health Care..."
- David Newby, CEO | Ramsey Health Care
 
"It was pivotal moment for me personally - it changed the way I think about myself, my company and my peers. You've give me some really great tools to understand things that go on in life.....
