What's on your list?
Inspired by the death of a close friend, Sebastian Terry experienced a moment in his life where he asked himself a simple question; ‘Am I happy?’
The answer was NO and so he created a list of 100 Things that he hoped would help him find happiness.
Current Work
Ten years later, after dropping everything in his life to pursue his crazy list, Sebastian’s story has grown from an adventurous tale into a global philanthropic movement that engages a growing tribe of hundreds of thousands to set meaningful goals, achieve our biggest dreams and help others in need.
This evolution into the kindness space has spawned the birth of Kindsum, a peer-to-peer platform, activating acts of kindness in the general public and within organisations. His work has included working with numerous charities including the Make-A-Wish Foundation for which he currently serves as an ambassador
As a keynote speaker, Sebastian inspires organisations to gain perspective, think big and be the best they can be on every level so that others can follow suit.
