SPERO GROUP LLC

Spero means hope-literally and in our practice. We want to give hope to individuals and organizations so healthy change can happen.

We believe that through change you can experience your greatest periods of growth and discovery. The reality is change is hard. It can be uncomfortable and overwhelming. And in today's world, change is necessary, accelerating and never-ending.

We work with people and companies who are ready to move through change by developing skills and creating an atmosphere of hope and possibility. We want to help you find and develop your strengths and accept your imperfections (yes-your imperfections) and use them to become better, to become more, to become what is next.

Whether you are looking to make a change for yourself, for your family or you are an employer looking to facilitate change for your company-we want to be here to help you along the way.

TESTIMONIALS

“Angie was an excellent presenter to work with. She handled questions with aplomb and our attendees walked out of the session feeling more in control of their interactions with difficult customers. She made all of her materials available after the workshop so we could reference them and continue to put into practice the skills she taught us.”

– Erin Joyce, District Consultant, Oil Creek Library District.

Unique and effective program

CCR and ANR wanted to find a leadership series for their management teams that allowed them to grow both individually and as a team. We have found that each of our managers come in with different skill sets and management levels, therefore one training does not always work for everyone. The Spero Group’s groups individual and group sessions provide our managers with the individual attention they need. Although they are all working from the same curriculum, they are challenged to set their own personal leadership goals, explore their own self-awareness and roadblocks to being a successful leader.
