Several times a year Dr. Mills, an organizational and clinical psychologist, runs retreats and seminars in Russell as well as other parts of New Zealand. Her 30 years of counseling, consulting, and public speaking has included a variety of clients, in many parts of the world, many from the Fortune 500--places like Marathon Oil, Ford and General Motors, Bethelham Steel, Marriott Hotels, US Department of Energy, and many other government agencies.
