The Identity Reset

Success isn’t the problem. It’s what you’ve attached it to.

In this transformative keynote, executive coach, author and business strategist Terry Rice reveals why so many high achievers look successful but feel empty. Through personal stories of loss, reinvention, and rebuilding, he challenges the myth that performance equals purpose … and shows how alignment, not hustle, drives lasting success.

Drawing from his own journey, from getting fired at Facebook and facing addiction to rebuilding life after unimaginable loss, Terry introduces The Identity Reset, a framework for realignment that begins from the inside out.

Audiences learn how to reconnect who they are with what they do, build structure around identity instead of image, and lead with integrity that can weather any disruption.

This isn’t about motivation. It’s about meaning.

Because when your identity and actions finally match, success stops feeling like survival and starts feeling like freedom.

THIS PROGRAM IS PERFECT FOR:

Executives, founders, and high performers navigating burnout or transition
Teams and leaders seeking renewed clarity, focus, and purpose
Organizations facing disruption or identity shifts
Conferences exploring leadership, resilience, and authentic success

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

REBUILD FROM TRUTH: Learn how to realign identity and performance so achievement feels meaningful again.
STOP OPTIMIZING OLD VERSIONS: Discover how to stop operating from outdated definitions of success.
STRUCTURE FOLLOWS SELF: Build systems and habits around who you are now, not who you used to be.
LEAD WITH INTEGRITY, NOT IMAGE: Replace perfection with presence and credibility that builds trust.

TURN LOSS INTO LEVERAGE: Transform personal and professional disruption into powerful clarity.

Leaders choose Terry when they need more than inspiration: they need transformation that drives measurable results.
