Structure to lead. An edge to execute.
The boldness to be seen doing it.
Micky Nye works with retail owners, corporate teams, and individual professionals who are done being reactive — across three practice areas built from a decade of published, field-tested leadership work.
Wherever you're leading from, there's a door for you.
Micky's work splits into three practices, each anchored by a published book and years of hands-on coaching. Pick the one that matches where you're standing right now.
The Blueprint
Leadership and mentoring programs — for individual leaders finding their footing, and for HR teams building a formal mentoring program from the ground up.
True North
Hands-on retail performance partnerships — store standards, execution rhythm, and leadership bench strength for independent retailers.
Boldly You
Personal brand and executive presence — for professionals building a reputation that travels with them, not just a job title.
Retail is where this started. It isn't where it stops.
Micky spent decades leading inside competitive retail environments before founding Mentoring Compass — and that hands-on operating experience is still the backbone of the True North practice today.
But the frameworks she's since written and published — Mentoring Blueprint, its companion workbook, and Boldly You! — were built to apply well beyond a single storefront. Three practice areas simply put a name on work that already existed.

"[Micky] taught me, coached me, and counseled me — helping me develop the professional capability I needed, without ever taking credit for it."
Everyone gets the blueprint. Few get the mentor.
Micky's methodology reaches as far as it can — through the books, the Vault, and a corporate certification path. Her personal time reaches six people a year. Both are on purpose.
The public platform
The Blueprint Vault, the Blueprint Assistant, the books, and corporate certification — built to scale without needing Micky in every conversation. Self-serve, always open.
Explore the VaultThe Circle
A small number of mentorship relationships Micky takes on personally each year. By application and referral only — never a public booking link.
Request My ConsiderationA standing library for the work between sessions.
The Blueprint Vault is a growing collection of leadership and mentoring playbooks — covering everything from team building to conflict resolution to onboarding — designed to be worked through between coaching sessions, not instead of them.
