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.
