Antonia facilitated two team days, plus a leadership coaching day. I found Antonia to be a warm, engaging, empathetic and energetic coach. Antonia was very well prepared for each of her days with us, bringing a range of resources to help draw out gems in our discussions. She is innovative and creative and uses these talents to make the sessions fun, memorable and insightful. I would highly recommend Antonia as a coach and facilitator.

I cannot speak highly enough of Antonia’s coaching. Her guidance has had an incredibly positive impact on me and my career, especially as I navigated a new senior role in a new country. Antonia helped me gain valuable clarity and insights, providing the support and perspective I needed to adjust and excel in this new environment. Her expertise, thoughtful approach, and genuine commitment to my success made all the difference. I am truly grateful for her support during this transition, and I have no doubt that anyone would greatly benefit from her coaching.

I met Antonia at an event, and just got hit with this bouncy energy and enthusiasm. And it is infectious. Antonia is a professional coach who genuinely wants to help you be the most amazing human you can be. Working with the CliftonStrengths method, Antonia helps you identify your unique strengths and how to get them to work for you. Perhaps like me that can be a hard thing to accept, hard to realise the potential you have. Antonia is supportive and patient in guiding you to see your strengths, acknowledge them and align them with your purpose. In just two hours Antonia had flipped my perspective, stamped down my doubts, and given me confidence to use my newly identified strengths to get so much more out of life. Working with Antonia has been life changing for me. It was the catalyst for a lot of personal and professional development for me, accepting things I viewed as flaws, and turning them into strengths. Working with Antonia might be the most valuable investment you make in yourself, your career, or your workplace. Even with just a few hours of your time, she will help you get so much more from life.

I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the workshop. I am naturally quite sceptical of anything that tells you it can explain who you are (like horoscopes etc.), but I was proved wrong in this instance. I thought the insights for me were very accurate, and what I learned about others in my team was really helpful.

I bought myself a copy of Antonia’s book and have just finished reading it. It’s full of very practical advice on setting up and running team gatherings (her reframing to avoid the dreaded associations that can come with the word ‘meeting’). I’ll definitely be using some of these tips with my meetings! (In case you were wondering with the surname similarity, Antonia Milkop is my lovely sister-in-law).

If you want an energetic, inclusive, warm, interesting and innovative session facilitated for your team or organisation, then Antonia is your person! She has so many tools at her fingertips, is inviting, caring, so switched on and will be able to bring out the best in your team or group within often a relatively short period of time.

Most often we focus on our weakness and want to get better at overcoming them. We random turn our attention to leveraging what strengths we might have. This is where Antonia steps in. As a Gallup Strength Coach, Antonia helps us focus our attention on finding the good in us. I did a strengths training session as part of my team development exercise recently and this has set me thinking about how to stay in touch with my core skills set. Through Antonia's session, our team discovered individual strengths and how to use that to play to the team goals. I am intrigued to continue and definitely recommend doing a session with Antonia.
