Help Them

the visionary of focus 21

Dr. Terrance Berry is a motivational speaker with over 12 years of public speaking experience. Dr. Terrance has owned several businesses with a focus in sales and marketing. As with every great leader, Dr. Terrance has experienced many highs and lows in life that he shares with his mentees openly and honestly. Dr. Terrance has experienced great success which has slowed him to learn many great lessons. Dr. Terrance enjoys sharing his “lessons learned” with his mentees about how he overcame the disappointments of bad investments, wrong decisions, disloyalty and civil injustices. 

THE DREAM TEAM

Terrance did not allow life’s disappointments to deter him, instead he allowed the lessons of those decisions to cultivate him into the dynamic leader that he is today.

Terrance has placed his life story on a platform to be used to inspire youth. As a mentor Terrance’s goal is to guide them through familiar choices and challenges that they too may face in life. As the Visionary of the Focus 21 Foundation, Terrance shares his life story to inspire youth to become focused, creative and authentic in their quest for success.

Foundation

The Five Characteristics of a Man is Focus 21 Foundation’s signature mentoring initiative and is based on research that youth who are self-aware, socially responsible and globally aware have a higher earning potential than their counterparts.  Data shows that boys and young men of color, regardless of socio-economic background, are disproportionately at risk throughout the journey from their youngest years to college and career.  Through strong relationships with Focus 21 Foundation mentors, the impact of the challenges these youth face can be mitigated and their strengths and the strengths of their communities, families, and cultures can be drawn on to bolster their potential for success.
