Terry Fossum

Overcoming Obstacles
IF A STRONGLY MOTIVATING, EMOTIONAL SPEECH THAT INSPIRES YOUR AUDIENCE TO GET PAST THEIR OWN FEARS, SELF-DOUBTS, AND EXCUSES AND EXCEL IS WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR,

THIS IS THE SPEECH FOR YOU.

Terry won a survival reality show representing all of Boy Scouts of America – as the oldest competitor on the entire show! But it wasn’t always that way. Terry was raised in the single poorest city in the entire United States of America, surrounded by gangs and drugs. He was on the wrong end of an assault rifle in Jr. High, in his own back alley. In High School, his father was killed. Before he died, one of the neighbors came up to him and said “I just want to make sure you understand something: Not a single one of your sons will ever grow up to be anything.”

In this amazing keynote, Terry tells how he turns his own set backs into success, researches what’s holding your audience back, and helps them get past their own challenges, so they can be free to reach their greatest potential.
He closes with the story of his own brother, raised in the same circumstances as Terry, and decided he wanted to be a United States astronaut. He failed. And failed. And failed. For 14 years he failed. Not every story has a happy ending – but then again…

Includes footage from his survival reality show, and fun insights into how he, against all odds, won!

Target Audience: Truly any audience who you want to inspire. This keynote sets the stage for an amazing conference, or makes an evening the audience will never forget. It lifts the audience up, and leaves them feeling like they can conquer the world.

DON’T think outside the box – THROW AWAY the box!
The 10 critical do-or-die steps to changing, or perhaps saving, your organization

In today’s rapidly changing world, your organization can’t survive, much less thrive, unless it’s open to rapidly evolving. We can no longer merely ‘think outside the box’, we have to completely ‘throw away the box’, and evaluate every fiber of our organizational being. This can be perilous, though, if not executed correctly.

52% of Fortune 500 companies from the year 2000 are extinct.

50 years ago, the life expectancy of a Fortune 500 brand was 75 years.

Now it’s less than 15.

This keynote, based on Terry’s upcoming book, is based on input from some of the top minds in the world that have created change, including part of the international team that is changing the global food supply, the youngest Director of Mission Operations in NASA history, brought in to change NASA after the shuttle disaster, the gentleman who developed A.I. Facial Recognition, the C-suite of FANUC, Tesla, SpaceX, and more. If you recognize the need for organizational change and want buy in and knowhow from you teams, this is the keynote for you.

Target Audience: A company, organization, or seminar that is looking to create buy-in for major organizational change, massive creativity, and a new, dynamic future. Includes that 10 critical steps to lead your organization through these changes that, if any are missed, could lead to the demise of the organization, but if are done right, can not only ease the pain of transition, but create a harmonious, even joyous environment.

Goal ACHIEVING
IF YOU CAN’T SET GOALS AND ACHIEVE THEM, YOU CAN’T SUCCEED.

IF YOU CAN’T HELP OTHERS SET GOALS AND ACHIEVE THEM, YOU CAN’T LEAD.

The problem is: 92% of everyone who sets a goal fails. 74% of diets fail. 50% of marriages fail, and on and on – and there’s a reason why. If you want your teams to breakthrough their comfort zone and perform at a level they never have before, this is the keynote you want in front of them.

In this keynote, Terry dispels the myths of goal setting and reveals why traditional goal setting techniques we’ve all been taught are either inadequate, or just plain wrong! He teaches the audience the Oxcart Technique, the subject of his #1 Bestselling book on Wall Street Journal, Bestseller in USA Today, subject of his TEDxTalk, and endorsed by some of the top minds in the world in science, business, and self-improvement. This is the same technique he personally used to reach the top fraction of 1% of the direct sales industry – in the world. After this seminar, participants can expect to reach high-level goals they never would have thought possible before, in ALL aspects of their lives! (And those putting on the seminar can expect them to as well.)

Target Audience: A sales or production-driven company, organization, or seminar looking to GREATLY increase the success level of its members. Personal motivation will reach a new high, self-doubts and excuses will be a thing of the past. Productivity will go through the roof.

Persuasive Speaking
The power of the human voice is, unmistakably,

the most powerful weapon on earth.

There are two truths to persuasive speaking:
Those who know how to do that are better leaders, have greater influence, build better teams, make more sales, make more money, and have more confidence in every aspect of their lives.
Most people don’t know how to do that.

In this speech based on his award-winning book ’The S.I.M.P.L.E. Guide to Public Speaking – without losing your lunch’ and his highly-effective coaching program, Terry teaches the CRITICAL 5 steps that separate those who inspire individuals and teams to greatness from those whose talk is forgotten 10 minutes after they’re done.

Your audience will go from having ANY fear of public speaking, whether it’s one-on-one or in front of thousands, to being the most powerful they have ever been in their lives.

This has been taught at the MBA level, and used by astronauts and beauty queens, the U.S. military, academia, celebrities and more!

Target Audience: A company, organization, or seminar event dealing with the subjects of leadership, management, and influence, who wants their members to be able to not just improve their speaking abilities, but to be able to inspire an audience to want to take immediate, decisive action.

Blow The Bolts
Get rid of all the fears, self-doubts, and excuses,

and soar to new heights like never before!

One of the hardest things we can do as a leader is to help people get past their fears, self-doubts and excuses that keep them from operating at their full potential, and keep us from doing the same! And yet it’s one of the most important things we could possibly do. As long as those things are holding them back, no amount of training, no amount of motivation, and no amount of pushing will make a bit of difference. But when we ‘blow those bolts’, they can finally be free to soar!
Based on my highly-lauded 8 CD audio series, and called “incredibly profound” and an “awesome motivational masterpiece”, includes the emotional story of Terry’s brother’s quest to become a U.S. Astronaut, footage from the International Space Station, and martial arts board breaking!

Target Audience: A motivational-type setting for a company, organization, or seminar who wants their members to leave the talk fired up, entertained, ready to leave their past behind them, and take on the world!
