NADA Show Las Vegas 2026

In today’s environment of constant change and uncertainty, leadership isn’t just about the role. It’s about presence. It’s about listening. It’s about keeping the humanity in leadership, especially when the pressure is high.

At the NADA Show 2026, I’ll be sharing strategies for leading with clarity, presence and compassion in times of rapid change and uncertainty. You’ll discover ways to:

• Communicate effectively even when you don’t have all the answers
• Create psychological safety in high-performance environments
• Listen with empathy while still holding the line on excellence
• Identify and overcome the leadership habits that create unintentional disconnects

If you’ve ever felt like your team is “technically” doing the job, but morale is low, trust is shaky, or people are burning out or fearful of the future, this session is for you.

Because leadership isn’t just about getting the job done, it’s about how people feel while doing it.

Join me at the NADA Show 2026, and let’s talk about how to lead not just with performance metrics, but with presence.

Back when I was in the throes of intense back pain and medication, I managed to fly to Arizona to film a condensed version of one of my talks. With stress and burnout levels being one of the top concerns for employees and employers, learning habits that help you create a life of both/and without having to choose between your health, well-being, and livelihood is essential for sustainable success.

Have a look/listen. If your team or organization can benefit from my presentation and trainings, reach out by replying to this email. I’m booking out my 2026 calendar and I’d love to show you how I can support.

Speaking of the workplace environment, SHRM just published the 2026 State of the workplace and navigating evolving workplace needs for 2026. Today’s leaders have higher expectations from their employees. Employees are putting their health and well-being at the top of their needs. Even though both employees and employers recognize these needs, more needs to be done. 

Knowing how important this topic is, I will be hosting a session on Leading Through Conflicts and Disagreements, on January 29^th at 3:30pm Pacific/ 6:30pm Eastern. The atmosphere in the world is quite tense right now. Whether or not the events in the United States and around the world directly affect you or not, there may be folks in your space who are affected and there are definitely those who have opinions about it all.

Whether you're managing a team, leading a project, or navigating high-stakes conversations, this session will equip you with the leadership mindset and communication tools to inspire trust in tense moments.

What You’ll Gain From Attending:

• A fresh understanding of what leadership really means
• A proven listening framework to increase influence and collaboration
• Tools to identify and overcome the hidden barriers to effective communication

This isn’t about avoiding conflict, it’s about leading through it with purpose.

Whether you’re a team leader, executive, or emerging leader, this training will level up your leadership game.

I hope 2026 is off to a good start for you and I’ll continue to share events and resources to Optimize You!

All the best,
