Today we’d like to introduce you to Milka Milliance.
Milka spent years building a high-profile career and leading a jet set life in New York City as a strategy and leadership consultant, only to watch it all come tumbling down. In spite of her best efforts it became evident that her beliefs, values and behaviors were not in alignment with the tremendous level of effort she was exerting every day to maintain the façade of success. Her struggle to heal and transform herself led her on a journey in search of her purpose and to awaken her deepest passion – to serve and give women the tools to empower themselves through her life coaching and leadership development practice. As the CEO and founder of We R Artemis Leadership is a global women in leadership consulting firm, she supports women to step into leadership roles courageously, confidently, and collaboratively.
She understands the impact a major life change—career upheaval and personal loss—can have on a woman.
She conceived of the Heroine’s Leadership Journey, to empower women during transitional periods in their lives, to make bold and powerful choices, especially when embarking on a new journey like entrepreneurship, starting a family or transitioning back into the workforce.
“I’m passionate about helping each woman find her voice to live in an authentic and purpose-driven life,” said Milka. “Women have unique life paths. Assessing their core beliefs helps shift negative behavior patterns and knock down the obstacles which prevent many women from stepping into their power.”
From her Miami office, she combines traditional learning tools like Type, Psychometric tools, and developmental activities with more intuitive and experiential methods to paint a full picture of each person.
She then uses individual and group coaching, and interactive workshops to help women identify and set positive, life-changing goals. Her leadership exercises allow participants to explore their motivations and modify their behavior to align with their goals.
“My aha moment came when I brought a new client to a retreat center in upstate New York where my own transformation began. I found inner peace and clarity there and it was exhilarating to share that experience with someone just starting on her transitional journey.”
She has worked with clients like Unilever, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Verizon, HSBC and other Fortune 500 companies. Her book, The Heroine’s Leadership Journey Workbook: A Woman’s Guide to Exploring Transitions and Transformations is an invitation to explore your identity consciously and mindfully.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It certainly has not been a smooth for me since I started my company. I launched my company in Boston but relocated it to Miami a year ago.
I’ve been building my network in base in the South Florida area. Miami is a growing market so there are opportunities to grow a leadership consulting company here to service local demand.
Miami is a lot of fun but doing business down here is very different from New York City and Boston, which is where I have lived most of my life.
We R Artemis Leadership – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
We R Artemis is a leadership platform that brings women together who are actively pursuing opportunities to develop themselves professionally and personally so that as women, we can do power differently.

What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Success for me is not only reaching my goals but also ensuring that there is always integrity and alignment in everything that I do both in my professional and personal life.
We R Artemis is a values-driven company that believes that we all are responsible for making choices that can either take us closer or further away from our purpose in life.
