Terry Healey is a speaker and author, most recently, of The Resilience Mindset: How Adversity Can Strengthen Individuals, Teams, and Leaders. At 21, he was diagnosed with a rare, disfiguring cancer that led to over 30 reconstructive surgeries. Today, he shares the life-changing lessons he gained—centered around four key principles—to help individuals and teams develop confidence, adapt to change, and find purpose.

Healey’s message has reached healthcare organizations, corporations, universities, and nonprofits nationwide, including Cisco, Stanford, Kaiser Permanente, UC Berkeley, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. A UC Berkeley graduate, he also spent 35 years as a high-tech sales and marketing executive and was part of the founding team of a company that achieved a successful IPO.

He is the author of The Resilience Mindset: How Adversity Can Strengthen Individuals, Teams, and Leaders (September 2025), and At Face Value: My Triumph Over a Disfiguring Cancer. His writing has appeared in Psychology Today, Guideposts, The San Francisco Chronicle, and more.
