Hey, keep-the-changers, Bart here, and welcome back to another episode. Today I’m diving deep today into something that's close to my heart and crucial for all of us in leadership—coaching. Now, I know we’ve talked about it before, but this time we’re pulling back the curtain even further. Why? Because coaching is the game-changer most dealerships are missing.

You see, I’ve been in countless dealerships, and there’s a trend that keeps showing up—leaders who work hard, but aren’t seeing the results they want. And it’s not because they’re doing anything wrong. In fact, these leaders are rock stars at closing deals, putting together sales where others might struggle. But here’s the catch: if we’re only focusing on numbers, we’re missing the bigger picture.

This week, it’s all about how we can move beyond the tactical and into the transformative. What does it really mean to develop your people? How can we shift our mindset, not just as managers, but as true activators? I’m pulling lessons from John Maxwell’s Five Levels of Leadership and diving into how changing our thinking changes everything—including your bottom line.

We’ll also dig into what it means to lead with joy. Not that “skipping through the daisies” kind of joy, but real, deep satisfaction that radiates from your team to your customers. And here’s the kicker—when your team is in joy, everything changes. The customer experience improves, results follow, and you create something truly special in your dealership.

So if you're ready to elevate your leadership game, tune in. We’re going to talk about coaching tactics that actually work, how to shift your mindset, and most importantly, how to help your team believe in themselves so they can crush it on the floor and beyond.
