Access Your Leadership with Hakim Lakhdar
Scaling Your Business Starts with Scaling Yourself
Doug Barra is the owner of Action Coach Business Success, a long-time business coach, speaker, and passionate advocate for business re-education. He joins Access Your Leadership to share his incredible journey from software engineer to seasoned coach and now owner of his own (and second) ActionCOACH franchise. With nearly two decades of experience, Doug dives into the mindset shifts, pivotal choices, and leadership philosophies that have shaped his career.
What happens when you move from “doing the work” to empowering others to grow their business? How do you know when it's time to pivot from a path that no longer aligns with your vision? What does it really mean to be coachable—and how does that impact your leadership journey? And how do you balance proven systems with your authentic voice when leading, coaching, or building a business?
Doug shares the personal and professional milestones that led him to where he is today, including powerful reflections on purpose, problem-solving, and what it takes to make a lasting impact through business leadership.
