You built your business from the ground up.
Now let’s build the structure that supports growth.
Levership is a 12-month program for hands-on business builders who are ready to scale without burning out or bottlenecking the business.
Levership is NOT a coaching program:
→ It’s a strategic operating system that combines business architecture with personal growth
→ The focus is on repeatable clarity and structure, not inspiration and hype
→ It’s designed for owner-operators, working CEOs, and business builders in the thick of it (not just tech startups and online business)
This Is for You If:
You’ve built something successful — but it still runs on your shoulders
You’re putting out fires when you should be leading
Your systems and team aren’t keeping up with your growth
You’ve done other programs, but they didn’t solve the root issues
You’re not afraid to work — but you’re tired of doing it all alone
You don’t need more advice. You need a way to scale that actually fits the business you’ve built.
What You Get
This isn’t a mastermind.
It’s not a plug-and-play template.
And it’s definitely not a “feel-good” coaching group.
Levership is a guided 12-month implementation experience that helps you:
Get out of reaction mode — and spend your time leading instead of firefighting.
Build systems that let you delegate without fearing the whole thing will fall apart if you step away.
Clarify your strategy so you can stop second-guessing every decision and finally trust the path forward.
Turn scattered ideas into a real, repeatable systems that scale — without everything depending on you.
Build financial forecasting tools that give you visibility and predictability so you can stop running your business based on gut feelings.
We don’t just hand you a playbook.
We help you build one that actually fits your business.

Most business builders come to Levership for systems.
What they leave with is repeatable clarity across every stage of growth.
They:
Develop a cadence for leadership and accountability and stop carrying the entire business on their back.
Shift from working in the business to working on the business to create long-term value instead of being stuck in daily execution.
Learn to make decisions with confidence and stop losing sleep over what the “right move” is.
Spot blind spots before they become business-threatening issues and prevent costly mistakes instead of fixing them after they happen.
Become part of a network of smart, high-caliber leaders that think at a higher level, challenge assumptions, and make better decisions.
“I thought I was joining for strategy.
I stayed because it changed how I lead.”
The Part You Didn’t Know You Needed
“I don’t think I realized how little I knew about how my business worked. Now I really understand where to look for the answers in the numbers of what my business tells me. That has helped me make some big decisions about where we are headed in the future.”

Why Now?
Because waiting is the risk.
What most clients say before joining:
“I just need to fix this one thing first.”
What they realize later:
“I was fixing the wrong things.”
If you’re already making hard decisions, don’t do it alone.
Levership is how you translate your vision into a solid, repeatable structure that sets your business up for sustainable growth.
Work with people who’ve actually run businesses
Levership was created by people who’ve actually scaled real businesses — not just advised them from the sidelines.
Chris Johnston is the CEO of Levership
He’s doubled revenue as a CEO, led national sales at Microsoft Canada, and helped dozens of founders turn complexity into clarity.
His superpower? Translating vision into structure — without the ego.
Matt & Mark Symes, co-founders of Levership and Symplicity Designs,
have led transformations across construction, CPG, education, and tech — scaling companies from $20M to $180M+ and turning fractured teams into aligned leadership engines.
Their systems form the backbone of the Levership methodology.
This isn’t a personality-driven brand.
It’s a values-led team that shows up with calm, clarity, and strategic depth to help you scale with confidence.
"We were really struggling to grow the business and become more efficient. Matt's team came in and identified all kinds of areas for improvement. Once we had processes in place, we knew which direction the ship was going and we weren’t steering off course."
