Many small business owners and company leaders are so busy running the day-to-day operations of the business that, even when they know they need to make improvements, they just aren’t sure how to step back, build a plan and focus on making those changes. I’m T’Kenya Miller and I opened The Growth Coach Heart of Chicago because I knew I could help those business leaders to build stronger businesses and live more balanced lives.

The Growth Coach is unique because, rather than come in with a plan to help you improve your business, I am focused on learning about your business, working with you to set your goals and build a strategic plan, and then help keep you accountable for making those changes along the way.

As The Growth Coach Heart of Chicago, I work with business owners and professionals throughout the Chicago area. I am certified in The Strategic Mindset coaching process, which adheres to the standards, practices and policies that the International Coaching Federation has set forth in their Code of Professional Standards and Ethics.

Before opening The Growth Coach, I worked as a consultant in various industries for 15 years, including five years coaching managers and students in higher education. I am currently in the process of earning my Doctorate in Education with an emphasis on Organizational Leadership – Organizational Development. Between the time I spent coaching students and management and my studies in organizational leadership and development, I found that I was passionate about helping people see the big picture, create a pathway for improvement and make progress toward a brighter future. I decided to become a Growth Coach because that process is exactly what The Growth Coach focuses on in the business world.

The Growth Coach’s variety of programs – from Strategic Business Owner, to Sales Mastery, to Teambuilding, to Professional Credits and everything in between – are designed to work together to help business owner and company leaders build better companies and more balanced lives.

My parents, son and granddaughter all live in the Chicago area and have been a huge inspiration for me as I’ve focused on my education and grown this business. I’m looking forward to making a difference and using my training and education to give back to the community as a Growth Coach.
