Watch Terry’s Speaker Reel:
“I am writing this letter recommending Terry Fossum for any high quality speaking engagement in which you need a world-class speaker for, and in particular when you want the speaker to get the audience to take action. This is certainly one of Terry’s specialties. Terry is not only a keynote speaker, but he is also a movie producer, actor, author, leadership expert, and adventurer; and it comes out in his talks/speeches. He keeps you engaged from start to finish, and leaves you thinking…WOW, that was awesome! More importantly, he will get your audience to take action!
“Every year, at our Exposition events we typically hire industry specific speakers to talk to our customers and employees about industry ideas or marketing and merchandising concepts. However, this year we departed from the norm and decided to invest in people by bringing in a motivational speaker that could help them overcome their day to day challenges both on the job an in their personal life.
I heard about Terry Fossum and his inspirational story of overcoming adversity by understanding what holds people back. So we took a the leap and wow are we glad we did. In all my years of holding customer and employee events, I have never gotten back such positive feedback. Overwhelmingly the sentiment was that of great appreciation for helping them (our employees and customers) as individuals be more successful.
We are so pleased that we are now rethinking future events using this kind of approach.”
“Terry was the guest speaker for our Scholarship Banquet in May 2019. Prior to his speech he made time to meet each of our scholarship recipients individually. Our scholarship programs include high school students and non-traditional returning students. He asked great questions and connected with each student by engaging in their story, even for just a few minutes. During Terry’s presentation; his energy, passion and storytelling style captivated everyone in attendance. His message was spot on for motivating our student winners as well as our members to go out and persevere in the pursuit of their goals and dreams. Terry is definitely the best speaker we have had the pleasure to hear at this event in many years!”
“Our group of 60 agents had the pleasure of having Terry Fossum visit with us. Terry’s one hour presentation was inspiring and uplifting, resulting in a standing ovation by all in attendance! Our group was extremely pleased that Terry was able to stay and autograph his book.
I recommend Terry for anyone looking for a motivating speaker that walks the walk and talks the talks.”
“Terry Fossum recently delivered the keynote address for our annual Washington Food Industry Association event. He was awesome! Terry captured the attention and imagination of the audience as he shared compelling stories and lessons learned during his formative years, that have allowed him to “Blow the Bolts” in challenging himself to overcome self-imposed barriers to success. The stories of his success as a reality TV survival show participant and those of his brother’s path to success as a NASA astronaut were great examples of Terry’s message of following your passion and removing the roadblocks that stand in the way of achieving your dreams. Every member of the audience will enjoy the engaging presentation and leave with the determination to become their best self.”
“Terry Fossum has been a speaker at several different events over the last 5 years for One Team Global. Thousands of our distributors and guests have listened to Terry’s dynamic presentations. Terry’s delivery hits with impact and is powerful. He punctuates his key points in such a way that the audience takes a way the key points of his presentations.
He is great for a small group of 10 to 15 or for audiences over 1,000. I have seen him connect with all of them.”
