John G. Miller is the founder of QBQ, Inc., an organizational development firm based in Colorado dedicated to "Helping Organizations Make Personal Accountability a Core Value." A 1980 graduate of Cornell University, John has been involved in the training and speaking industry since 1986. He lives in Denver, Colorado with his wife, Karen. They have seven children and five grandchildren.

He is the author of QBQ! The Question Behind the Question, Flipping the Switch: Unleash the Power of Personal Accountability, Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional; I Own It! Building Character Through Personal Accountability; Specks & Planks: A Biblical Study on Personal Accountability and co-author of Parenting the QBQ Way.

His dad, Jimmy Miller, was both the Cornell University wrestling coach and a small town pastor. This is probably why John finds it natural to teach and coach!

As an 18-year-old freshman in college, he asked Karen, age 16, out to a movie and a few short years later they married in June 1980. Hired by Cargill off the Cornell campus to be a "grain trader," John and Karen lived in three states in five years, eventually settling in Minneapolis, MN. In early 1986, John began a new career providing leadership and sales management training to Twin Cities' corporations from all industries.

This is how and when John created QBQ! The Question Behind the Question. Throughout a decade of selling and facilitating training to and with executives and middle managers, he discovered the incredible need for personal accountability. In 1995, he chose to become a keynote speaker, titling his sessions "Personal Accountability and the QBQ!"— even though some people told him that "personal accountability isn't a topic"!

His speaking career took off and John soon began writing books, gaining the new title "author."

In late 1997, the Millers left Minnesota for Denver, Colorado, where the sun shines over 300 days each year! They have seven children ages 30 to 14 … six girls and one son! As John likes to say, they achieved four "the homemade way" and then in 2000 gained three through adoption. They also have five grandchildren.

John and Karen have recently written Parenting the QBQ Way.

Lastly, John serves on the Board of Directors of the Denver Rescue Mission.
