I’m a

Facilitator and Leadership Coach

, working with all levels of leaders in individual and team settings to help you understand yourself more deeply and create transformational impact in your personal and professional life. Facilitating a non-judgmental space of profound trust, I challenge you to deepen self-awareness, build on your strengths, and explore areas for growth. I believe that when we choose to live fully, with purpose and honor in our values, we will realize our full potential and create meaningful results.

I’ve spent 25+ years elevating the potential of people and their organizations as a heart-driven human being that is a solid leader, communicator, facilitator, and coach.

Who am I?

I’m not afraid to challenge beliefs and habits, while reinforcing life values and best practices. I believe it’s easy for people to connect with me and absorb the skills being taught through my approach, passion and the way I own my skill set and strengths. I’m bold and brave, yet empathetic and vulnerable.

I’m an Activator. I challenge people to take action. I get to the bottom line quickly, looking to find the opportunity and create immediate action for improvement. I create people accountability in areas that employees aren’t typically focused on or aware of, which can be a gap in business and results.

What my clients have to say

David Brockie

“We had the opportunity to work with Nancy Milton through our Manufacturer on the Ford Guest Experience movement.  Her knowledge coupled with her passion and enthusiasm made learning a fun and easy.  We, as a leadership team, enjoyed her infectious attitude so much we brought her back for additional insight and training sessions with various teams throughout our store.  Often in today’s environment you deal with a presenter whose knowledge is based on their powerpoint slides. Nancy is the opposite, her slides come from her knowledge and wisdom after many years of  becoming an expert in her field.”

“Nancy is an incredibly engaging facilitator and leadership coach. She absolutely inspired me in the time I spent with her, participating in a corporate leadership program. She brought the program to life by sharing her own personal experiences and truly connecting with every participant. Nancy is especially skilled at drawing in those who struggle with the course material and concepts. She handled a demanding schedule and course material with grace, humour and great attention to pace and timing. I can’t imagine anyone facilitating the program with as much passion, warmth and skill as Nancy!”

“I have had the privilege and the pleasure of working with Nancy Milton the last 5 years in both her capacity as a coach, facilitator, and mentor. In that time, I have witnessed a very competent and capable leader help other leaders reach their full potential through a combination of coaching, learning, encouragement and perseverance. Nancy helps people identify their core competencies and strengths and with open and constructive feedback, encourage individuals to be better and reach goals that they sometimes felt were out of reach.

My desire is for you, and everyone in your organization, to shift your limiting beliefs and burst barriers that lead to personal and professional growth. Whether as an individual, a team, or an organization, I want you to clearly know your goals, your possibilities, what it takes to get there, and to enjoy the journey and the transformational results.

Connecting people to who they are and what they can be is what I love doing most.

Through facilitation and one on one leadership coaching, I bring real results to individuals and organizations, one connection at a time.
