Meet Your Coach:
Damien Johnston
Most business owners don’t have a knowledge problem. They have a business problem.
Growth has slowed. Profit isn’t where it should be. The team relies too heavily on the owner. Sales are inconsistent. Processes haven’t kept up. And despite working harder, the business isn’t moving forward as quickly as it should.
Sound familiar?
I work with ambitious business owners, who want to grow revenue, increase profit, build a stronger team and create a business that doesn’t depend on them for everything. I help owners step back from the day-to-day and focus on the changes that will have the greatest impact.
I tackle questions like:
→ Where will your next stage of growth come from?
→ Is your sales and marketing engine generating and converting the right opportunities?
→ Do you have the people, structure and accountability to scale?
→ Where are you losing profit, productivity or valuable time?
→ What systems and processes need to change?
→ Why does so much still depend on you?
→ Could acquisition accelerate your growth?
→ Are you using AI safely and effectively to improve performance?
→ What are you doing today to maximize the long-term value of your business?
But strategy is only part of the equation - the real challenge is execution.
My experience leading Sales, Marketing, and Operations teams at Xerox, Telus and Alexa, has shown me how strong systems, processes, and execution discipline fuel growth. Using ActionCoach’s business mastery framework, I help owners streamline operations, improve efficiency, and build repeatable processes that support sustainable performance.
The goal isn’t simply to grow the business. It’s to build a business that is:
• More profitable
• More scalable
• Less dependent on you
• Driven by a stronger team
• Supported by better systems
• Ultimately more valuable
Because the best business isn’t necessarily the one that makes the most money. It’s the one that performs exceptionally well without requiring the owner to be involved in everything.
If you’re a business owner who knows your business has more potential, let’s talk.
No pitch. No obligation.
Just a conversation about where you are, where you want to go, and what may be standing in the way.

What Happens on Your Free Coaching Session
This isn't a sales pitch. It's a working session where we dig into your business, identify what's holding you back, and map a path forward. Here's the agenda:
Clarify Your Goals
What do you want to achieve in the next 12 months? More profit? More time? A stronger team? We'll get specific about outcomes.
Identify Constraints
What's the #1 thing holding you back right now? We'll diagnose the root cause, not just symptoms, so you can focus on what matters most.
Uncover Quick Wins
You'll leave with 1–2 actionable ideas you can implement immediately to improve cash flow, margins, or team performance — even if we don't work together.
Next-Step Recommendation
We'll outline what it would look like to work together, including timeline, focus areas, and expected outcomes. Then you decide if it's a fit.
No pressure. No obligation. This session is designed to give you clarity and a clear path forward, whether you choose to work with Damien or not. You're in control of the next step.
How It Works: The ActionCOACH System
We don’t wing it. Every engagement follows a proven 3-phase framework designed to diagnose constraints, install systems, and scale results.
01
Phase 1: Diagnose
Complete business assessment, identify top constraints, clarify priorities, and build your 90-day roadmap with clear milestones.
02
Phase 2: Install
Implement systems, establish meeting rhythms, create scorecards, build accountability habits, and address profit levers and sales gaps.
03
Phase 3: Scale
Develop leadership capacity, refine growth strategy, optimize operations for leverage, and position the business to run without you.
Your Weekly Execution Rhythm
Weekly or Bi-Weekly Coaching Sessions
60–90 minute focused sessions (online or in-person) to review progress, solve roadblocks, and set priorities for the next sprint.
Accountability Check-Ins
Between sessions, you execute on agreed actions. We track progress using scorecards and dashboards so nothing falls through the cracks.
Action-Oriented Focus
Every session ends with clear next steps. No fluff. Just execution on the things that move the needle in your business.
What Business Owners Are Saying
We understand you have questions. Here are the answers to what business owners ask most:
I don't have time for coaching right now.
That's exactly why you need it. Coaching helps you prioritize what matters and eliminate what doesn't. Most clients find they reclaim 10–15 hours per week within 90 days by installing systems and delegating effectively.
I've tried coaching before and it didn't work.
Most coaching fails because there's no accountability or execution system. We focus on weekly action, measurable KPIs, and installing processes that stick. This isn't theory — it's implementation.
How fast will I see ROI?
Most clients see measurable improvement in 60–90 days through quick wins like pricing adjustments, margin improvements, or pipeline fixes. Long-term transformation happens in 12–18 months.
Is this consulting or coaching?
Both. We don't just advise — we work alongside you to implement systems, solve problems, and hold you accountable. You get strategic guidance plus hands-on execution support.
What if my team resists change?
Change is hard. We help you communicate the vision, involve the team in solutions, and build buy-in through clear accountability and quick wins. Resistance usually fades when people see results.
What industries do you specialize in?
Damien works with businesses in [Niche/Industry Focus] across [City/Region]. The ActionCOACH system works for any business with 5–100 employees focused on growth and profitability.
What's expected of me each week?
Commit 2–3 hours per week: 60–90 minutes for coaching sessions, plus time to execute on agreed actions. You'll also track KPIs and report progress. No homework for the sake of it — just focused execution.
How do we measure progress?
We use KPI dashboards, scorecards, and milestones tied to your 90-day plan. You'll see clear metrics on revenue, profit, team performance, and time reclaimed. Progress is visible and measurable.
What does the first call include?
We'll clarify your top 3 goals, identify constraints holding you back, discuss 1–2 quick wins you can implement immediately, and outline a clear next-step recommendation. No pressure. Just clarity.
How do I know this will work for my business?
The first session is free. You'll walk away with insights and a plan regardless of whether we work together. If it's not a fit, we'll tell you. Our goal is results, not sales.
