I

Recently, I came across The Terry Harris-Ellis interview on the business excellence podcast.

Terry Harris-Ellis embodies the spirit of adventure, viewing it as a powerful catalyst for personal and professional growth. For him, adventure isn’t limited to climbing mountains—it’s about confronting challenges with determination and creating a purposeful life. Terry is deeply committed to living life to the fullest and believes that a more compassionate and understanding world would benefit everyone.

One of Terry’s most rewarding journeys has been running a business alongside his wife, Helen. While balancing work and family life has its difficulties, learning to communicate effectively, establish clear roles, and place trust in his team has been transformative. Though initially reluctant to relinquish control, doing so has empowered others to shine and helped the business thrive.

To Terry, success goes beyond financial gains—it’s about making a meaningful impact. Whether mentoring his team or inspiring his children to dream boldly, he takes pride in the legacy he’s building. His advice? Trust your team, view failures as stepping stones for growth, and focus on what truly ignites your passion. Life is too short not to give it your all. Please click below to listen.
