Harper Spero is a business coach and consultant based in New York City who specializes in working with individuals who want to live, work and earn on their own terms. She inspires and motivates new entrepreneurs and small business owners, helping them navigate the entrepreneurial leap and ensuring that they have the support, resources, and confidence to achieve their goals. Harper thrives in supporting clients by working with them to develop clearly defined goals, an action plan that tackles their short-term and long-term vision, and the mindset to take on the challenges of building and growing a new business. After spending ten years working in traditional settings across several industries, Harper realized that a work/life balance was crucial for her well-being, and that she craved the autonomy and freedom that came with entrepreneurship. After receiving her coaching certification from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), she launched her own business in November 2014 and hasn't looked back. Now, she helps her clients discover their path to personal and professional success while integrating lifestyle changes that prioritize self-care and fulfillment. Prior to coaching, Harper spent ten years leveraging brands through marketing, public relations, event production and digital media. Her previous clients include corporate heavyweights such as Johnson & Johnson, Disney, Ann Taylor as well as leading nonprofits such as the David Lynch Foundation, Lower Eastside Girls Club, Team Rubicon, Headstrong Project and Bent on Learning.
