Endorsed By

I recommend Theresa Szczurek as an executive coach. Her guidance proved to be both timely and invaluable. What stood out immediately was her ability to draw from real-world experience.

We can’t thank Theresa enough for her work to advance the state’s IT culture and enhance virtual access to government services in Colorado. She dedicated herself to improving customer satisfaction and ensuring that these essential services are delivered effectively and efficiently to Coloradans.

In the many years I have known Theresa Szczurek she has proven to be the epitome of Passionate Purpose herself, with unflagging energy and generosity to the many people she affects. Her book is another expression of Passionate Purpose written with style. It will help all it touches. It’s a great business book.

Anyone who has ever wondered how to reach a successful and balanced life will find Theresa’s story and suggestions invaluable. A mother’s spiritual heart is combined with a very successful record of education and business experience to provide tools for all involved in profit and nonprofit enterprises.”
