Real Leaders. Real Results

Hear it From Them.

Leadership Consistency When the Pressure is On

“I see the impact it’s done for our team. People now are aware of how they talk to people, how you coach them… I see it throughout the dealership now, and it’s really, really transformed us.”

Herbie Lopez
General Manager, Toyota of Hollywood, FL
A Stronger Leadership Team

“This was not what I expected leadership training to be. This is next-level… the kind of leadership training that changes the culture, the vision, the mission, the things we want to accomplish together.”

Shelby Bigelow
General Manager, Palm Beach Toyota
Everyone’s a Leader

“Maxwell leadership training was an amazing experience. I got a lot more than I thought I would out of it… It was such a good program, that I put all my managers through it. No matter what your position is, everyone’s a leader.”

Joey Stathas
General Manager, Gettel Toyota of Ocala
Stories from the field

What Shifted.

Dan Wilder
Dan Wilder
Manager, Digital Retail
Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC
“If I had to boil down my experience working with Trish to one thing, it’s that she showed me how much influence comes from earning people’s trust. She taught me to see the best in people, believe in their potential before they see it in themselves, and create an environment where they can thrive. Because of that, we’ve built a strong team culture where everyone is continuing to grow as a leader, and the impact on our team, our culture, and our results has been extraordinary.”
Southeast Toyota Distributors
“Leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about unlocking potential. Trish has helped us transform our leadership. Total game changer personally and professionally! She has a knack for asking thought provoking questions that cause you to pause, reflect and grow. She listens with empathy and has helped us increase our team work and productivity. Our teams now have open, constructive conversations and the barriers are gone. We work seamlessly as one and clearly understand each other’s goals and objectives. Trish has been our guiding light and we’re super excited about our continued journey with her by our side.”
Jose Lazo
Director of Digital Operations and Business Development, South Dade Toyota

“Rather than criticizing him or telling him what he was doing wrong, we approached the conversation from a coaching perspective. Since that conversation, he has increased his productivity by an average of 15 to 20 additional hours per week. Most importantly, the improvement has been sustained because the motivation came from within him, not from management pressure.”

“Two years ago, I brought Trish on to United as a mentor and coach for all my managers. She immediately helped my team identify our top five priorities, and then the number one. Our first year working with Trish, we grew 37%. In year two, we grew 55%. And, with our new safety program Trish helped the team build, we saved $240,000 in Worker’s Compensation.”
Valerie Sherman
CEO, United Building Maintenance
“We played a Leadership Game with the team that opened great conversations and discussions, and we learned a lot about each other as individuals and what drives us to be successful… Lots of minds shifted today and stronger relationships were developed.”
