Coaching leaders to create consonance with their careers, families and selves, Natalie Tucker Miller has been helping people grow personally and professionally for several years. Growing up in Long Island, NY, she graduated from Five Towns College, then continued her education in the pastoral setting of northern NY at SUNY Potsdam. There she met Paul, to whom she's been married since 1982. In 1985 she moved to Vermont where she and Paul currently reside.
Additionally, she home educated her two daughters, who are now successfully fulfilling their own dreams. She’s served on several boards, including the Vermont Association of Home Educators (VAHE).
As an instructor and certifying examiner at the Thomas Leornard Coaching School, Natalie has taught, mentored and evaluated coaches using the 15 Coaching Proficiencies. Additionally, she is part of the team developing new standards for measuring coaching by which the IAC will be certifying coaches.
She concludes, "The most valuable experience I've gained is through the lessons taught to me by the hundreds of people I've had the good fortune of being involved with over the years. And most notably, the two I call my daughters."
An IAC-CC, she is also a certifying examiner for the IAC. She is on a leave of absence from that position while fulfilling her role as president.
