A Welcome Note From Lee Gray

Early October 2025, we delivered two powerful workshops in Wichita for “Launch Week”, formerly called StartUp Week, a program for entrepreneurs sponsored by Nxtus, WSU and other businesses:

Profit Through People: Harnessing DISC for Growth
Participants walked away with deeper self-awareness and new tools to communicate more effectively across personality types. One attendee shared, “I understand a lot more about myself and am excited to now know how to recognize the communication styles of others.”
5 Keys Every Business Owner Must Master for Growth
Attendees gained clarity on the five profit drivers, leads, conversion, transactions, average sale, and margin—and left with tangible steps (and a free tool) to optimize each in their own operations. A participant reflected, “It’s rare to walk into a workshop and leave with a checklist I can use immediately.”

These events were more than learning—they were turning points. Connections were made, insights were born, and the energy to grow was real.

And now? We’re already preparing the next round. Whether you missed those workshops or you’re ready for more, you won’t want to miss what’s coming. But first………..

We are thrilled to introduce David Sasson to the Kansas ActionCOACH Team. He is a results-driven entrepreneur and executive coach who transformed OverstockArt.com from a niche startup into a nationally recognized brand—achieving up to 50 % year-over-year growth, forging international partnerships, and optimizing margins through smart strategies. He was honored as the 2018 Kansas Small Businessperson of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Before that, David sharpened his chops at Apollon Computers, where he grew a small operation into a global reseller with over $4 M in revenue, established international sales channels, and drove profitability through lean operations and effective vendor negotiations.

As a coach with ActionCOACH, David blends his real-world leadership experience with proven coaching frameworks. He helps entrepreneurs identify constraints, align teams, and build repeatable systems so their businesses scale—not by accident, but by design. His unique approach turns strategy into execution and ideas into tangible results.

Another fun fact - David was an ActionCOACH client! He knows the real value of the resources we offer clients.

Whether you’re leading a team or building a business from the ground up, Lee and David bring complementary strengths to help you grow with clarity and confidence.

How do I know if my investment is worth it?

Business coaching should pay for itself in multiples. When we meet, we'll use specific tools to assess your business and determine the ROI you can expect from a coaching program.

What if our goals don't align?

Our approach has driven success for businesses across many industries, with a focus on enhancing your time, team, mindset, operations, and profit. We'll customize our methods to align with your goals.

When will I see results?

We guarantee measurable results within 17 weeks.

Coaching vs. Consulting?

While consultants do the work for you, a coach helps you bring out your best with guidance and accountability. We’re here to help you see blind spots, clarify priorities, and challenge you towards growth.

Tip of the Month: Make Intentional Moves Toward Growth

Every thriving business is built on momentum—and momentum comes from daily, intentional actions. This month’s tip: identify one high-impact area in your operation and commit to improving it.

Here are a few examples you can choose from:

1. Improve your feedback loop. Ask your team what tools or processes are slowing them down—and act on their input.
2. Audit your customer experience. Go through your sales or service process as if you were a new client. Where are the friction points?

3. Strengthen your follow-up systems. Ensure prospects and clients aren’t slipping through the cracks because a task or email was forgotten.

4. Focus on your profits, not just revenue. Review margins, eliminate waste, and tighten up your most costly line items.

The idea is simple: progress happens when small actions become habits. Choose one area this week, commit to a measurable improvement, and watch how it compounds.

Let’s keep building. One step. One metric. One win at a time.
