This is the work I was born to do. Work I love. Family I love. Clients I love. A mission I love.
About Me – Christopher Miller
I'm Christopher Miller, a strengths-based, heart-centred leadership coach based in Wellington, New Zealand.
Following a move from the UK to New Zealand, I joined Results.com, a leading business coaching company working closely with small business owners. I then transitioned to Gallup, a renowned global management consulting firm, where I spearheaded employee engagement and CliftonStrengths culture change programmes in New Zealand.
In September 2017, I established a coaching and mentoring practice that supports small business owners, CliftonStrengths coaches, and organisations seeking strengths-based culture change through pursuing exceptional businesses and lives.
Journey to love
- In July 2021, following a year-long battle with brain cancer, my wife Fiona tragically passed away. Her passing dramatically shaped my first book, The Joy of Finding FISH, a journey of fulfilment, inspiration, success and happiness, which is much rawer than I originally intended. Fiona's death also gave me unexpected gifts: freedom from the fear of risk, fear of failure, and most importantly, fear of judgement. At 2:30am on 6th March 2024, I woke knowing that my life's work had shifted. My big word changed from COURAGE to LOVE. I now believe that FISH, fulfilment, inspiration, success, and happiness, is how we live our lives. But love is WHY we live. And I'm on a mission to expand love on the planet, practically, measurably, one conversation at a time.
Purpose and Values
- Being clear about my purpose and values, and meeting the greatest imaginable challenges, are the cornerstones of my strengths-based, heart-centred leadership practice. My purpose is simple: to be love, and to give love to everyone, especially the people I care about most. My fulfilment comes from loving everything, always.
The AROHA Curriculum
My legacy work is the AROHA Curriculum, a framework for expanding love across every domain of life:
- Love Yourself: health, self-worth, identity
- Love Your Family: partner, children, extended family
- Love Your People: colleagues, clients, friends, community
- Love Your Life: fulfilment, inspiration, success, happiness
- Love Intimacy: spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical connection
