Sebastian Terry

'In case of an emergency oxygen masks will fall from the ceiling. Please put yours on first before helping others.'

How did the story of one man and a list of things he wants to achieve turned into a worldwide movement that saves and enriches lives? Known worldwide for pursuing an incredible list of 100 Things that he wants to achieve before he dies, Sebastian Terry’s story is surprisingly not about a bucket list. It’s about something more far reaching: Permission, choice, growth, and connection.

Affected by a curious mind and the death of a close friend, Sebastian experienced a moment in his life where he asked himself a simple question: “Am I happy?”. The answer was NO and so he decided to pen down a list of 100 Things that he’d always wanted to achieve.

Following his heart and armed with nothing but a list, Sebastian's incredible story has grown from an entertaining tale of adventure into a global philanthropic movement that engages a growing tribe of hundreds of thousands to not just set meaningful goals, but pull the trigger and achieve them—all whilst helping others do the same. “I thought initially that it would take me 100 Things to reach a state of fulfillment but it’s taken me 72 things to realise that ‘ticks’ are just the beginning. The key to growth and happiness is finding out who you are on a primal level and then being that person, each and every day.”

Sebastian’s inspirational journey has been turned into a best-selling book (100 Things), a Discovery Channel documentary (100 Things To Do Before You Die), and a reality TV show (100 Things), where he travels the world helping complete strangers achieve their specific dreams, which indicates how transformative the achievement of dreams can be. The idea of 100 Things is to inspire people and organisations to gain perspective, think big, and be the best they can be on every level so that others can follow suit. From marrying a stranger in Las Vegas, delivering a baby in Canada, and even representing the Mauritian national rugby team at the African Championships (they won!), Sebastian’s most profound moment was when he was first contacted by a suicidal stranger who needed help.

100 Things is no longer about one person, it’s about everyone.

Guaranteed to make you laugh, cry, and inspire motivation, Sebastian’s 100 Things keynote presentation is like no other and will re-engage, connect, and inspire your organisation to move forward as one. He asks every individual what is on their own list and encourages them to look at their own lives and adjust accordingly. The keynote presentation can also be adapted into a workshop to suit every organisation’s needs.
