Business Coach Miami Douglas Barra

Meet Coach Doug Barra, a nationally recognised author, presenter, and business coach who has been helping entrepreneurs in Miami and beyond for over 18 years. Doug began his ActionCOACH journey in 2006 as co-owner of Team Sage and now leads ActionCOACH BusinessSUCCESS®, where he specialises in turning complexity into clarity and clarity into results.

As a systems-focused coach, Doug helps business owners design structures that drive predictable growth, consistent profitability, and stronger teams. With a background in software development and leadership at Siemens, he brings both technical expertise and a strategic mindset to every coaching relationship. His approach empowers business owners to step out of daily firefighting and scale with purpose—creating businesses that work for them, not because of them.

Doug’s coaching programs range from 1:1 executive coaching and leadership development to his signature 12-week BusinessSUCCESS® Masterclass. His specialties include marketing, sales, referral strategies, financial analysis, growth strategies, team building, and exit planning—always with a focus on measurable outcomes.

Passionate about helping entrepreneurs reclaim their time, freedom, and peace of mind, Doug has guided countless leaders to build recession-proof, scalable businesses. Recognised throughout the ActionCOACH community, he continues to share his expertise through speaking, training, and thought leadership—always with the goal of helping business owners stop working harder and start working smarter.

Alfredo found immense value in having Jody Johnson as his coach, initially surprised by the recommendation but later acknowledging her tremendous impact in elevating their business to new heights. Despite initial hesitance over cost, he embraced coaching, gradually witnessing substantial results and now eagerly anticipating each session, crediting Jody for the transformation.

Lope deeply values his coaching sessions, eagerly anticipating each one and noting a remarkable growth in revenue—over 200% from 2008 to 2009 and a significant increase of 168% from the last quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2010. He acknowledges the hard work required and underscores that while coaching isn't a magic solution, it offers a structured path from point A to point B, fostering success through dedication and adaptation of systems to individual businesses.

Interior Designer |Dunagan Diverio Design Group

My coach is my weekly boost! She inspires and motivates me. I have renewed confidence and drive every time we speak. My business and personal life has been completely transformed as a result of having a business coach. As an interior designer, I had lots of creativity but very little business structure. In my first year of coaching I have set up systems, understand my financials for the first time, increased my staff, work with budgets and increased my profits in 2007 by 250%! When I started coaching, I was in personal debt and now I am debt free! My coach has empowered me in every area of life, I am very grateful. Thank you

Owner|Premier A/C & Refrig, INC.

Premier Air Conditioning & Refrigeration, Inc. has been using ActionCOACH for 6 months. Our business has been open for 15 years. We wanted to take our business from a small business to an Elite Company, with the help of Jody Johnson we are working towards our goal. One of our priorities was working the numbers, knowing what to look for in our job costing, profit and loss, and budgeting maximizing profit. I am proud to say we have accomplished this. I not only value the gain in the company, but personal development too.
