Therese Sparby

Therese had always lived life by the book, expecting that if she followed the rules and made all of the right moves, she would live a happy and fulfilling life. NOT! Four years out of school she found that this was easier said than done and a few careers later, albeit successful ones, she found that it was getting more confusing than ever and found herself searching for more. Once introduced to Radical Leadership, Therese stopped seeking clarity, and experienced it! She came alive and everyone around her was energized, empowered and intrigued by what she was creating.
As a radical living and leadership coach, Therese is the living example of a leader who wants others to follow in her footsteps; creating the impact they want, living in full awareness and aliveness and creating a world full of other Radical Leaders! Therese works with young, enterprising professionals who want the wisdom NOW that usually comes to people much later in life. The wisdom that YOU have your own answers and you already have everything you need to create the life you want. When she coaches you, you will find the personal power and clarity that you seek — and you will have authored your own life!
