Terry Rice

Terry Rice is a keynote speaker, performance coach, and author who helps leaders and teams break through barriers, embrace discomfort, and unlock their next level of personal and professional growth.

With a bold, story-driven approach, Terry empowers audiences to stop playing small and build the identity, mindset, and systems needed to grow with purpose—not pressure. Known for delivering real-world tools alongside raw vulnerability, his talks challenge conventional thinking while providing actionable strategies that create immediate and lasting results.

Terry’s signature keynote, Comfort Kills Greatness, is a high-impact experience that reframes adversity as fuel for reinvention. Audiences walk away with tactical frameworks for growth, story-powered influence, and daily rituals that align who they are with where they’re going.

Prior to launching his coaching and speaking business, Terry held business development roles at Meta and Adobe—giving him firsthand insight into high-performance environments and what causes people to succeed or silently burn out. His personal journey—from rebuilding his life after addiction and personal loss to becoming a respected voice in leadership and entrepreneurship—deepens his message with hard-won wisdom and authenticity.

Terry has spoken for organizations like Google, Amazon, EY, SXSW, Berkshire Hathaway, Fiverr, and Good Morning America. He also teaches at General Assembly and contributes regularly to Entrepreneur.com.

More than just a motivational speaker, Terry is a trusted strategist who helps high performers gain clarity, build momentum, and create lasting impact.

His programs are perfect for organizations looking to boost engagement, unlock leadership potential, and develop teams that thrive in discomfort instead of retreating from it.
