Work With Milena

Three ways to find
your Desire Path.

I work with a small number of remarkable people and organizations each year. Here's how.

01 Speak

Keynotes & Workshops

For organizations stuck in the Default Path Trap.

Most organizations are running harder than ever — and getting less of what they need. Engagement is collapsing. Burnout is at record levels. And with AI we are running even faster and burning out even more.

I speak to leadership teams and conferences navigating this moment — helping them understand the Default Path Trap, find the human edge in the AI era, and start building organizations where people actually want to do their best work.

Keynote & Workshop Topics
  • Finding Your Desire Path — the keynote based on the book. For leaders questioning the default path and ready to design something better.
  • The Human Edge in the AI Era — why creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking are the skills that matter most right now, and how hustle culture destroys them.
  • From Knowledge Workers to Meaning Makers — how organizations can build for the capabilities AI can't replicate.
  • AI Has No Taste — a provocative session on creativity, human judgment, and what machines can never do.
  • Unhustle Your Organization — a workshop for teams ready to build a culture of sustainable high performance.

Virtual by default. Select in-person engagements considered.

What people say

"We recently had Milena share the Unhustle concept with our HR Superstars Community — HR leaders are notorious for caring for others before themselves. Through honest conversation and practical advice she added so much value and depth. We received rave reviews from all who attended and it was our highest attended session to date."

Adam Weber

Senior Vice President, Community, 15five

"We brought Milena in to host workshops for hundreds of hotel industry leaders. Her sessions ended up being the highest-rated breakout sessions at the conference. I am excited to continue working with Milena and champion the growth of the Unhustle movement."

Anna Blue

President, AHLA Foundation

"Milena is an engaging, focused, and energetic speaker who consistently produces overwhelmingly positive feedback. I was able to easily identify the areas I wanted to work on and incorporate strategies to feel empowered and less stressed. The Unhustle program is easy to understand, yet has deep aspects to apply to my own life."

Deni St Lawrence

Deputy Director of Operations, Women in Data

"I can't wait to amplify the amazing work you're doing."

02 Advise

The Unhustle OS Private Advisory

For leaders who’ve succeeded at the wrong game.

You've done everything right. The career, the company, the credentials. By every measure that matters to everyone else, you're winning. And yet — there's a gap between the life you've built and the life you actually want. The goalposts keep moving. The next achievement doesn't close it. That's the Default Path Trap.

I work with a small number of founders, senior executives, and team leaders on a private basis — virtual and in person — applying the Unhustle framework to your specific situation, challenge, or transition. This is more than coaching. It's strategic thinking partnership.

This might be for you if
  • You're navigating a major professional transition and need a clear-headed thinking partner.
  • You're building or leading a team and want to create a culture of sustainable high performance.
  • You're questioning whether the current game you're playing is the right one — and ready to design something better.
  • You're navigating what it means to lead — and to be human — in a world where the rules are being rewritten by AI.

Biweekly strategy sessions, async support, and the full Unhustle framework applied to your world. Maximum two advisory clients at a time.

What clients say

"I don't say this lightly — my work with Milena was truly transformational. Her intuitive yet direct style allowed me to gain new perspective and challenge old thinking. I'm already feeling more energized and fulfilled."

Bentzy Goldman

Founder, Perflo

"I ABSOLUTELY loved the way you hold space for these sessions. A lot of the learnings were drawn from the group themselves — people sharing their experiences on a quite deep level. Having a community where people share information and learn from each other is extremely valuable."

Aluba Fenix

Sales Leadership Executive Coach, Google

"The Unhustle experience helped me to step back and reflect on my life with a more thoughtful and critical lens. Milena is a passionate guide, providing a treasure trove of tools and experiences to refocus your energy towards living the life you want to live, now."

Elaine Broe

Founder, The Leadership Collaboratory

"Through coaching with Milena I have had many breakthroughs and new perspectives which have helped to propel me forward. Her intention, attention, and attitude will elevate you to a higher level. Highest possible recommendation."

03 · Gather · Baja California Sur · Annual

The Baja Gathering

Find your Desire Path where I found mine.

Once a year, a small group of remarkable humans comes to Baja California Sur — where the wind is strong and the WiFi is weak, and the Sea of Cortez has a way of clarifying things.

No packed agenda. No performative networking. Just deep human conversation, the instant calm that comes from the water, and the kind of clarity that only happens when you slow down enough to let it.

"Unplug your computer, put away your devices, and prepare to reboot your soul. Milena will immerse you in nature, take you on hikes, get you gliding on water. Eat delicious food. Spend meaningful time with people. Recalibrate and prioritize what really matters."

Andie Nichols

"It will open your eyes and mind to the fact that we can be happy and accomplish more at a slower pace. It has changed my perception that the more we do, the more we are."

"Waking up at the beach and living a simple life really puts things in perspective and helps you unhustle."
