About Kory
Leadership Identity
Kory Miles is a leadership strategist, speaker, and creator of Personal Transformative Development (PTD) — a methodology for moving leaders from insight to embodied, lasting change. His work sits at the intersection of identity, behavior, and real-world execution. Through coaching, speaking, curriculum, and immersive experiences, Kory equips leaders to close the gap between who they are and who they are called to be.
Pastoral Identity
He is also the Founder and Lead Pastor of The Word in Plain English (TWIPE) — a missional church ecosystem in Canton, Ohio, with a global digital campus. He is completing a Master of Divinity at Fuller Theological Seminary with doctoral pursuit ahead. His theological formation and pastoral leadership are not separate from his professional work — they are the source of it.
The Integration
Kory doesn't separate what he believes from how he leads or who he builds. Whether he's in a corporate boardroom, a leadership retreat, or a Sunday night worship service, the framework is the same: formation first. Because you can't build what you haven't become.
