About Me

Hi, I'm Milla.

I’m a certified executive coach, organizational development consultant and a business instructor with a wealth of lived experiences and hands-on knowledge.

I approach my work with care and compassion, and cultivate a safe space for my clients to explore their unique experiences and challenges. By looking at the big picture, I help individuals and organizations identify their goals and align them with optimal strategies.

Before becoming a coach and consultant, I had the opportunity to live in different countries, explore different careers, and work with people from all levels of organizations.

From being a teacher, an international business development lead, a manager, a frontline worker, a volunteer, and an immigrant, I understand firsthand what it takes to change, grow and find clarity in the unknown. I would not be the person I am today if I did not have the support from coaches, mentors, and people who believed in me.

Now, as a certified coach, I want to give back by supporting people on their journey to growth and success, and by helping organizations create environments that allow teams to excel and achieve exceptional results.

Let's work together to achieve your goals!

I come to the coaching experience with a goal of gaining clarity and confidence to decide my next career paths. Through the coaching process, Milla has helped me to achieve both by asking me the right questions and laying down foundations to help me explore and structure my thoughts. What I appreciate most about the coaching process is that it encourages me to look inward to answer my own questions rather than relying on someone else’s expertise because in some cases, including mine, we actually know best the situations we are dealing with and how to best handle it.
