We would not be on our way to true freedom without Johnnie! We feel like his only client. I don't know what we would do without him. Johnnie is truly a part of our family! Arty and Sharon Accardo, The Accardo Agency and Dominion Broker Services

Johnnie Barr, ActionCOACH, understands the culture, language, pace and style of a Chamber of Commerce. He brought into our recent Board Retreat a fresh perspective on the best ways to tackle challenging issues; directing the setting of realistic objectives and achievable goals. The activities were well-planned and effectively executed in a timely manner. He was able to engage the participation and input of all board members with flexibility that allowed them time to explore ideas while strengthening their relationships with one another.  The Board and staff now have a better understanding of where the Chamber is headed and how they are going to get there as a team!  We highly recommend his services.

“If you are a business owner, or a manager who is looking for improved results on your team, you need to meet Johnnie Barr. His depth and breadth of experience with respect to business is remarkable. I am always amazed how he can walk into any business, uncover issues and immediately offer solutions. I have found Johnnie to be an amazing resource, and an even better person. Action Coach has great information- Coach Barr has great application. My recommendation is that you meet with Johnnie for 20 or 30 minutes, it will be time well spent, and you'll see what I am talking about.”

Johnnie Barr is excellent business coach for those looking to grow and systemize their businesses. Since working with Johnnie and Action we had accomplished more in the 1st 4 months than we did in the previous 12 months without him. Personally I find that when I am meeting with Johnnie once per week I spend about 50% of my time working "on" my business as opposed to about only 5-10% of my time working "on" my business when we were not meeting. I can definitely recommend Johnnie and Action Coach for those who want to take their business to the next level or simply get better organized to save themselves valuable time.”

"I don't think I will ever be able to pay Johnnie what he is worth."  Arty Accardo, Dominion Broker Service

"ActionCOACH Johnnie Barr had expanded my business horizons.  He and the ActionCOACH system have opened my eyes to common sense issues that I needed to address and to many business building ideas that have been relatively easy to implement.  He has advanced all of my businesses by leaps and bounds.  Without this help, our newly relocated business may not have taken full advantage of our perfect location and opportunities.  Thanks Johnnie and thanks ActionCOACH."

"ActionCOACH has been a wonderful experience for me.  Whether it is one-to-one, group, Profit Club, or special events, I have always benefited from the knowledge and friendship of Johnnie and Bill.  Like many business owners I know a lot, but sometimes we need a boost.  Sometimes we need a little motivation and ActionCOACH has done all of this and more for me and my business."  Kevin Blackburn, Owner of Kevin Blackburn Photography (540) 470-0543.

“I met with Johnnie Barr yesterday and the tips he gave me in my business for 2012 was superb. I had some of these thoughts in my mind, but he visualized them on paper for me. I left the coaching session with action items.” Diago Harris, A Powerhouse Move
