The Connector Next Door with Lisa Gareau
Nancy Milton, Coach, Facilitator, Community Activator, and Natural Connector
Nancy Milton is an international facilitator and executive coach who has been spearheading her leadership and communication organization, Nancy Milton Inc., for 13 years.
Based out of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, Nancy touches hearts through anything does, but she also puts her head and her hands to her work as well.
I was introduced to Nancy a couple of months ago when I was searching for just the right Mentors for Candy Event Consulting's new Course and Community, The Connection Architect.
Our first call was a meeting of the minds - and the hearts - and I knew I had just met a new friend that I might someday call an old, trusted, and true friend.
Nancy’s track record of community building is a result of her keen ability to see a need and then rally others to help meet that need.
The Fresh Start Program started in just that way as she saw a need and rallied her community to help meet the practical needs of individuals and families transitioning from shelters to their own apartments or houses.
Now, thanks to local sponsors, donors, and volunteers, truck-loads of packages - filling cupboards, shelves and drawers with basic household and personal items - help to create the feeling of "home" for these families.
Now the Fresh Start Program has found a “home” in 4 (soon to be 5!) locations and has grown a “family” of over 2000 community members!
In our visit with her we dove into her ability to connect others and the power of bringing like-minded energy together for good.
You can find Nancy and information about The Fresh Start Program at https://www.thefreshstartprojectontario.com to continue the conversation!
