Tim Milburn has figured out his place in this world. It’s developing student leaders. His personal goal each day is to develop lifelong leaders one student at a time. From his early experiences as “line monitor” in the third grade to his daily contact with students who are engaged in growing their influence, Tim invests his energies into motivating, resourcing, and equipping young leaders.
Tim currently serves as the Director of Campus Life at Northwest Nazarene University, located just outside of Boise, Idaho. His main role is to develop leadership opportunities and advise the students who fill those positions. Taking the lessons learned from his real life experiences, Tim continually writes and creates resources both for his own students and for those who are involved in the work of student leadership development.
Tim is a sought after speaker to students and student leaders for a variety of conference, retreat, and workshop settings. His latest book: Equip – The YouthWorkers Guide To Developing Student Leaders will be released on April 1, 2012. His other books include: Leadership Starts With You, Tweedership, and Core Leadership Training. You can find his books as well as a variety of digital books and downloadable tools by clicking on the RESOURCES tab of this website.
Tim makes his home in Eagle, Idaho with his wife and four children. When he’s not crafting his latest project on his Mac he is usually watching one of his kids compete on the court or field. He is a P90X Grad and is currently working through P90X2 (completion on March 24, 2012). It has transformed the way he thinks and acts toward eating right and exercising. Tim also dabbles in graphic design, is a regular at Starbucks, and loves to tell a good story.

Interests
I love to do graphic design work on the side (even started my own little company, timagedesign). It started out as a hobby and has become a great way for me to support my friends and make a little extra money. I enjoy speaking, writing, playing golf, snow skiing, coaching my kid’s sports teams, and hanging out at coffee shops.
Some of my favorite books are: Return of the Prodigal by Henri Nouwen; The Leadership Challenge by Kouzes & Posner; A Million Miles In A Thousand Years by Donald Miller; The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni; Made To Stick by Dan & Chip Heath; Linchpin by Seth Godin; and Lincoln On Leadership by Donald Phillips.
If you ask me what movie I want to watch, I’ll probably say one of these: Super 8, Inception, The Shawshank Redemption, Ice Age, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Sixth Sense, Life Is Beautiful, Batman Begins, Defiance, The Warriors, Indiana Jones #1 & #3, Monty Python & The Holy Grail, Stranger Than Fiction
Musically, I’m all over the place in my preferences. But hard and loud typically beats out soft and reflective.
