When your business is struggling, your entire life is impacted. The stress, finances and sheer number of hours you end up putting in can destroy relationships, cost you your health and make you feel chained to the business you once loved.

I’m Ben Keller, business and life coach and owner of The Growth Coach of Boulder. I left my government job and started this business because I believe in this company and the positive impact coaching can have on your business and your life. The Growth Coach was the best fit for me because the philosophy and mission so closely aligns with and complements my personal beliefs. The Growth Coach’s mission is to improve communities one business at a time through coaching while my personal mission is ‘Unleashing the power and passion of your dreams.’ In tandem, those two missions create a perfect marriage defining what empowers me to help people improve their lives by focusing on the person first and the business second.

My career has focused heavily on strategic planning, team development, project management and customer service for a variety of companies and agencies. I’m also a Certified Balanced Scorecard Master Professional, an LSS Black Belt Trainee, a Trained Baldridge National Examiner, a graduate of the Colorado Leadership Development Program, and the Founder, President and Chairman of a nonprofit organization, Courage 2 Thrive, which provides life coaching for at-risk young adults and families. A United States Marine Corps veteran, I also have a master’s diploma in life coaching from Light University Online and, as a Growth Coach, I’m 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.

Let’s face it: businesses are important, but it’s really the people who matter most. I’m looking forwarding to building relationships that empower people to find their purpose, create strategies to fulfill that purpose and be accountable for any successes and challenges along the way.
