An inspirational and motivational leadership development consultant, executive coach, facilitator, and trainer. I have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with over 20 years of experience in the personal and professional development field. I am passionate about supporting people on their leadership journey, bringing a wealth of skills to support clients from the heavy demands and imbalance of work and personal life, and working under pressure.
Through the lens of conscious leadership, I motivate leaders to do their inner work that brings greater impact and success. With healthier ways of working, this results in more meaning, belonging and purpose.
I work with C-suites, and senior management bringing her care and compassion to top team development, unlocking deep seated fears and systemic blocks to ease and mend communication channels. I empower courageous conversations and solution-focus, both for the individual and the whole. My calm energy brings harmony, grace and a breath of relief to training events and team away days.
As an executive coach, I hold space to facilitate deeply transformational inner work. I am able to listen and hear what’s really being said, or not said, and see what is going on under the surface. I am supportive, understanding and know when to flow and when to direct.

Milly, thank you for another wonderfully connecting, challenging and thought provoking team coaching day. In your presence I feel calm, capable, listened to and valued. You have an incredible gift for harnessing energy and directing it. For nurturing and challenging us to our full potential.
I have always found the sessions you run to be incredibly thought-provoking and also very self-affirming. I can honestly say that over time it has helped me to build much stronger relationships – particularly with people I would have historically struggled with – but, more importantly, with myself. I leave BT a more self-confident, self-aware and incredibly grateful human being and I want to acknowledge your role in that.
I’ve been working with Milly to support my leadership journey and enjoy every moment of the time we spend together. Milly has a great way of getting me to dig deep with curious exploration of myself and has opened my eyes to various approaches to manage my anxiety, imposter syndrome, work overwhelm and also personal life trials and tribulations. Milly has had a profound effect on helping me to calm my nervous system and manage my day. I notice the positive changes in myself in all areas of my life and I’m very grateful to have the support and guidance of Milly.
Yes, this year I have worked across the UK, traveled to Europe and North America. I am happy to travel.
Yes, I can work with 1:1 sessions and group coaching online, and also deliver seminars and workshops online as well.
Group sizes completely vary, and of course we can work together to support your team whatever the size. Top teams tend to be up to 12 and Leadership teams/senior management cohorts of up to 20. Larger groups can always be accommodated.
Yes, I have a practice for personal sessions which can take more of a life coaching frame and give you some time and space to clear your head and listen to what really needs to be said and heard. This can give you a moment in your busy week to come up for air and take a breath, to resource and reenergise and focus on the things that are important to you in your personal life as well as in business. A chance to lean in and receive support and reflection from a listening ear.
Think about what outcomes you are after and what is getting in the way of that, this is always a useful starting point.
For 1:1 coaching 6 x 1 hour blocks over the course of 2 months for short term goals or to boost support at a crunch time, when deadlines loom, stress levels are high and or year end approaches! If you think you haven’t got time for it, you probably could really benefit from it to avoid burn out. Longer blocks can be organised, such as committing to a year for a longer term goal.
