Volo Coaching provides effective, supportive Coaching and Consulting that empowers individuals to reach their goals and dreams. Volo, which means 'to be willing' or 'to soar, embodies the coaching philosophy and values of founder Joanne Sperans, a Certified Coach through the Academy for Coaching Excellence and credentialed by the International Coach Federation (ICF). Volo offers highly personalized, one-on-one or small group coaching in a confidential and compassionate manner. We help you soar: to live the life you want and deserve.
In addition to earning her coaching ertification and credential, Joanne holds a BA in Communications and an MBA in Management. She has been involved with coaching and mentoring in various forms since her undergraduate days at U.C. San Diego. Prior to founding Volo, Joanne spent 15 years working with managers and executives in a wide variety of companies, from start-ups to multi-billion dollar corporations like Sun Microsystems, with an emphasis on the development of their strategic, communications and management skills. Following the crash of the dot.com economy, Joanne recognized a growing need for one-on-one coaching and started Volo Coaching to support individuals in all arenas reach their goals, both professional and personal. In addition, she provides Communications, Management and Development Consulting Services.
Having lost both parents to long-term illness and survived cancer herself, Joanne is particularly attuned to how major life events can create the opportunity for positive changes in life. Furthermore, as someone who has Attention Deficit Disorder (aka, ADD/ADHD), she has experienced first-hand the needs of people diagnosed wth ADD/ADHD and their families - the challenges, the opportunities, the frustrations and overwhelm - and she also sees clearly the special talents they have that are often overlooked. Joanne is a great example of how coaching can help someone with ADD not just survive or get by, but THRIVE by learning to recognize and embrace their own special gifts rather than try to conform to people who don't have, or don't truly understand, how ADD/ADHD impacts us all.
