Terry knows how to deliver information in a clear and concise manner that makes it easy for anyone in the audience to digest. In person, Terry dominates a stage but his sense of humor humanizes him, making him very easy for others to connect with both on and off stage.

Terry is outstanding on stage mixing humour with smart and actionable insights that left the crowd intimately engaged with his presentation. For example, he stressed the need to be data-informed as opposed to data-driven. As Terry put it, “Data tells you who bought something, but not the story behind their purchase.” I ended up including Terry's intelligent ideas in a blog post I wrote on behalf of my company.

The 3 P’s: Your Guide to Aligning with a Successful Entrepreneurial Mindset
The “Hustle Harder” culture is fundamentally broken. Continuously working long hours and chasing the next opportunity will eventually lead to burnout, not success. Beyond that, it’s challenging to attract the right prospects and business partners when you project scarcity and lack. After conducting numerous interviews for Entrepreneur magazine, I’ve distilled the mindset of successful -- and fulfilled -- entrepreneurs down to “The 3 P’s”.
Purpose-Driven, Prepared and Patient.

Why We Buy: How Storytelling Drives the Purchase Process
Data can tell you who is buying your product or service, but it usually can’t tell you why they choose to do so. If you can’t understand why someone makes a purchase, it’s difficult to encourage others to take the same action.
Leveraging best practices from Design Thinking, you’ll learn how to understand why people choose to buy from your brand – or a similar brand – and how to tell stories that will engage other prospects to do the same.
How to Monetize Your Knowledge: Generate Revenue Through Consulting, Speaking and other Income Streams
As we shift from a “doing” economy to a “being” economy, many professionals have an opportunity to monetize their knowledge through various income streams.

This session covers how to attract and provide value to clients who will see you as a business partner as opposed to a vendor. You’ll also discover how to amplify your reach - and revenue - by providing insight through other channels including Paid Speaking gigs, eBooks and on-demand courses.

I met Terry during the Social Media Week conference in NYC. Out of all the speakers that week he was one of my favorites. His witty comments and useful information kept me interested in learning more. He was also nice enough to stay after the talk and speak to the attendees. Hoping to catch him on stage again soon!
