About
A strategist, storyteller, and mindfulness-based coach.
I am the principal of InsightEd (InsightEd.ca), a communications consultancy that builds trust, credibility and engagement for education and social innovation ventures.
The coaching wing of my brand, InsightOut, (nancyellenmiller.com) focuses on trauma-sensitive consulting for sensitive leaders who want to steward greater well-being in their lives and in their workplace.
I work at the intersections of learning, wellbeing, social innovation, and technology.
