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  • STOP OPTIMIZING OLD VERSIONS: Discover how to stop operating from outdated definitions of success.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.

Terry Rice Reviews

  • "I stumbled on one of Terry’s webinars and it was great! He gave frameworks, actionable advice and told engaging stories throughout."
    Independent Management Consultant - Mar 03 2021

  • “Terry Rice is an exceptional educator and we've collaborated at both General Assembly and New York University on a variety of educational programs and events. Most recently, Terry has led sessions on "Your Guide to Aligning with a Successful Entrepreneurial Mindset" as part of the NYU Startup School series, a program open to student and faculty entrepreneurs at NYU. Terry's sessions teach entrepreneurs the mindset skills to thrive, even in challenging situations. I've seen Terry lead sessions in person and (more recently) virtually, both of which are incredibly engaging and informative. Terry has the unique ability to make complex topics concise, digestible, and immediately applicable. He always has an open invitation to teach or mentor entrepreneurs in any capacity, with any organization I am involved in.”
    Senior Program Manager, NYU Entrepreneurial Institute - Mar 03 2021

  • “Thanks to Terry's LinkedIn Optimization workshop today, myself (as well as 30+ SUNY Buffalo students) were given a step-by-step playbook on how to utilize this platform to the fullest despite being stuck at home in quarantine. His free one page business plan template was also the perfect tangible takeaway for those of us interested in freelance consulting as a potential career path. As a fellow UB MBA, I highly recommend Terry's virtual personal branding workshops to any organization or individual looking to boost their online presence.”
    Co-founder, Team Real Talk - Mar 03 2021
