Terry
Healey is a cancer survivor who endured over thirty surgical procedures
in an effort to reconstruct his face, which was disfigured by a
fibrosarcoma when he was only a junior at UC Berkeley. Through a long
and arduous process, Terry realized that the scars on the inside had
become far more disfiguring than the scars on the outside ever were.
Today, at the age of 40, nineteen years after becoming disfigured, Terry
is a professional speaker, author, businessman, board member of The
Wellness Community, and honorary board member of The Cancer League, Inc.
Terry is a partner in a high technology consulting firm that provides
strategic marketing and sales program development consulting services
for technology leaders Cisco Systems, Inc. and Intel, Inc. Prior to
founding his consulting firm, Iron Horse Ventures, Terry Healey was a VP
of Marketing for two high technology companies that both went public.
His popular program, At Face Value: My Triumph Over a Disfiguring
Cancer, is presented to companies and groups nationwide. He is the
author of At Face Value, the third edition of which is being
released by RiverWood Books in May 2005, and a contributing author to
two other anthologies. He has also been published in Psychology Today,
The San Francisco Chronicle, Guideposts, and Coping Magazine. Terry has
appeared on KGO/Channel 7 “Sunday on Seven” with Cheryl Jennings,
the Total Living TV Network with Jerry Rose, KTVU/Fox 2 “Mornings on
2” with Ross McGowan, and has been interviewed on more than 30 radio
stations across the U.S.
Terry captivates and educates audiences on how
to take control of their lives, identify and overcome challenges,
embrace change, and learn the value of tolerance and acceptance. He
views the lessons he learned in life as gifts, and believes his greatest
reward is being able to teach others how to overcome adversity and
celebrate life.
