From the coal mines of South Yorkshire to the fire service, then to building and selling businesses of his own. Terry has spent two decades helping business owners and elite performers change the one thing that changes everything: the way they think.
Terry Gormley left school with no qualifications and started his working life underground, in the coal mines of Maltby, South Yorkshire. He went on to serve as a firefighter and, on his days off, quietly built his first business. That hunger to understand what really drives performance led him to psychology, high performance, and eventually to NLP, the breakthrough that changed how he coaches to this day.
Two decades on, he's a performance coach, human-behaviour specialist and business exit strategist. Through The Fidelis Group he acquired, restructured and scaled companies. Across his own ventures he has bought and exited five businesses. He now helps owners do the one thing most only get to do once: sell well.
Everything Terry teaches today was paid for in real experience, often the hard way.
