Selected Endorsements from Clients and Audience Members
“Therése is an extraordinary entrepreneur and international motivational speaker.
A conductor of energy and magnetism, she engages audiences through her passionate performances, providing audiences with immediate and actionable insights.
Combining her background in elite fitness and her extensive professional experience, Therése has motivated people all over the world to reach their goals in both their personal and professional lives.”
“Having founded three companies over the years, I realized one important thing along the way – you can never afford to stop learning. As each company grew from a handful to hundreds of people, the challenges have rarely been the same, so after 15 years of start-ups, I had the pleasure of meeting and engaging Therese to be my personal founder/executive coach.
While I’ve worked with other “coaches” in the past, none of them had the extraordinary and rare combination of skills and experience that I found with Therese: she’s a founder herself, she’s worked with an international cohort of clients (giving her a uniquely diverse perspective), she’s a sought-after keynote speaker on business culture and lifestyle design (which are key for any entrepreneur or executive). Her programs are rooted in a behavioral science framework that allows each client to have a highly curated plan to achieve lifestyle and professional leadership goals; she then coaches you within a support structure that helps you stay accountable and ultimately catalyze the transformations you are seeking. By teaching you how to design and scale a strong culture, she shows you how to align the key pillars of leadership, recruitment, and strategy to grow your business.
She is always well-prepared and proactive in her teachings to ensure that her clients maximize the value of the programs. When I talk about Therese with fellow founders, I often refer to her as a “founder therapist” – someone that can empathize and share the burden of your journey and help you navigate successfully. I’ve personally recommended her to many of my founder friends who have subsequently gone on to refer her to their friends - a testament to her continued impact.”
“Therése has the ability to create magic – constantly, it seems. With loads of creativity and determination, Therese has demonstrated a remarkable ability to create exceptional value and media attention from limited resources.
She is a phenomenal startup CEO, an incredible leader and she has an amazing passion for empowering individuals to reach their fullest potential. I’m proud to vouch for her, because I’ve seen from the inside how she works and what she does to always deliver - both on stage as a keynote speaker and behind-the-scenes in business.
Therése is extremely talented across the board and with her determination, no industry is safe from disruption.”
“Therese Gedda is not only a phenomenal speaker, she is an incredible leader, coach, and strategic partner.
Therese has not only helped me to level up in both my personal and professional life tremendously, she has supported me in creating a specific high-level strategic business plan in record time, that mapped out specific goals that aligned to both my overall vision and mission that I am currently creating.
I always feel supported, understood, and valued working with this brilliant innovator and thought leader. ”
“Therese is a fantastic entrepreneurial speaker and CEO advisor who shakes the sky. With almost two decades of experience, she has an excellent understanding of how to design and scale a thriving company culture and how to peak performance as a leader and high achiever.
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her on stage several times, delivering a keynote speech at an exclusive conference in Stockholm, as part of a thought-provoking panel at an international book launch, and a workshop to coach and motivate the business elite of the American Chamber of Commerce in Sweden.
Therese is incredibly articulate, insightful, and inspiring. On every occasion, the audience left on cloud nine, empowered to challenge the status quo and make a big impact in their businesses, careers, and lives.”
“Highly driven, goal-focused and with an extraordinary degree of commitment to her projects. She can handle the grit of being an entrepreneur – not being someone to quit or easily doubt her ideas or vision.
She wants to bring about change and engages the people around her in her ideas. She is also an advocate of entrepreneurship and has helped countless people on their path to building their business.
I count her among the most inspirational and brilliant people I have the fortune to know”
“Therése is an extraordinary Founder/Executive Coach, and working with her continues to have a significant impact on my career and life. I was originally introduced to Therése by a fellow founder when I was evaluating which direction to develop my career, and how to be happy and successful in my professional and personal life – while being well-aligned with my values and long-term goals.
Therése combines the experience from working with many other founders and being a founder herself with an incredible ability to connect and identify the underlying aspects to work on and to draw strength and energy from. With her help, I got more clarity on aspects and areas that I’d like to be important in my life, on my strengths, and my values. Additionally, she taught me techniques, and we adjusted them to my individual needs to take the next steps with more energy, clarity, and ultimately more success.
Therése is exceptional at custom-tailoring her frameworks and individual advice to create an immediate as well as long-lasting impact. I couldn’t be happier about working with her and have recommended her to many founders and other High Potential and High Achiever friends and colleagues.”
“Good leaders inspire action, but great leaders inspire change! Therése has the ability to identify the smallest things that make you thrive and grow as a person both professionally and personally.
She moves seamlessly between empirical evidence to business know-how. She has a global network to connect the individuals and ideas that create real impact and change the world for the better.
Regardless, if you are looking for a keynote speaker to wow your audience or an experienced advisor to guide your board, Therése is a true asset.”
“Being a strategic advisor, I have had the great opportunity of working together with Therése. She is an amazing person and an exceptional leader who has built several companies from scratch. She started her entrepreneurial journey as a 17-year-old, founding a management consultancy company successfully working with startups and fast-growing firms for over a decade.
With over 15 years as a founder and keynote speaker, she is one of the most talented individuals I have ever met. Therése has a great passion for entrepreneurship with a remarkable degree of commitment to her projects.
The dedication to getting things done, the passion for challenging the status quo and empowering people to greatness, makes her an extraordinary inspiration for myself and other founders.”
