    Lead Into Leadership At STX 2026 with Darrin Barney [E108]

    Thank You To Our Partners AutoFlow, Shop Dog Marketing, InBound, and Service Advisor Training Watch Full Video Episode In Our Episode Today: Joining me is a guest and friend, Darrin Barney from Elite Worldwide. Darrin and I both share a passion in the topic of communication and leadership, which makes this a fun discussion. We dive into topics on leadership and touch on a few of the items he'll be discussing in his upcoming classes at WorldPacs STX 2026 near Washington, DC. My favorite thing about this conversation is how it touches on the hard reality many of us face when we begin to recognize where authority isn’t as effective as influence. The simple reality is, the best lessons on leadership we can share, is about the journey we on and continue to be on. Darrin is well versed in DISC and touches on the importance of communicating from where others are at. We round out the discussion by talking about “The Speakers Checklist” which will merit some further discussion… but DID yield, quite organically, that Darrin has also read and absorbed the lessons of a book we’ve been discussion here, “The Checklist Manifesto.” I do love it when I meet people speaking a similar language from reading the same books! Darrin Barney, Elite Worldwide, D.Barney@eliteworldwide.com From Boeing to the Service Bay: The Power of Checklists [E103]: https://craigoneill.captivate.fm/episode/craig103 We Have the Checklist. We Do Not Have the Communication [E105]: https://craigoneill.captivate.fm/episode/craig105 We have a WOTD: Rapport - Noun Rapport (noun) — a close, harmonious relationship in which the people or groups involved understand each other's feelings or ideas and communicate well. Rapport comes from French, from the verb rapporter, which literally means "to carry back." Originally, it described something being brought back and forth between two parties. Over time it came to mean a relationship of mutual trust and understanding, the kind where communication flows easily in both directions. That's really the heart of it. Rapport isn't something one person creates and hands to another. It's carried back and forth. It only exists between people, built one exchange at a time. I hope you enjoy this conversation!

    Human in the Loop: Reflections on the Value of People [E107]

    Thank You To Our Partners AutoFlow, Shop Dog Marketing, InBound, and Service Advisor Training Watch Full Video Episode In Our Episode Today: I'm coming off a month of art fair travel with my wife and I am taking a moment to reflect on some things on my mind. This is a an AI and Human topic - but it also isn’t… I touch on a bunch of things from our ventures up North… A stop at an old inn near Suttons Bay, and a porch sign advertising telegraph and cable messages, which sets up today's wordA hike up Pyramid Point at Sleeping Bear Dunes, low signal, slower wifi, and why that was exactly rightWhat a coffee mug reading "Fountain Point is for People" has to do with AIA conversation with an entrepreneur who was half right about a very important thing, and where he lost meWhat I'm hearing from kids and young colleagues navigating new AI tools, and what it reveals about how they see their own valueA detour into the Book of Acts and why Paul's day job as a tentmaker might not have been as humble as it looks Word of the Day: telegraph, noun and verb. From the Greek, tele meaning far, graphein meaning to write, far writing. It came into English through French in the early 1800s as a device for sending compressed messages across distance. But it's the verb I'm after this week, to telegraph something means to reveal your next move before you make it.

    Thank You To Our Partners AutoFlow, Shop Dog Marketing, InBound, Service Advisor Training, and Advanced Shop Leadership Watch Full Video Episode In Our Episode Today: You put two advisors at the same shop, give them the same opportunities, and you still see a difference, sometimes even more than $100 or more in ARO month after month. Same shop, same tools, different results. Why is the question, and to answer that, we have some amazing guests joining us: Gerry Frank, Bill Hill, and Leigh Anne Best. All three train with serviceadvisortraining.com, the sponsor of this podcast, but they are veterans of this industry. Bill and Leigh Anne are working out of Mighty Auto Pro in Medina, Ohio - And while you may not have heard of that small shop, you probably have heard of a small program that was started and co-founded by Leigh Anne Best: Brakes for Breasts: https://www.brakesforbreasts.com/ That is right. Leigh Anne is one of two founders of that amazing program and is a powerful testimony of the good that our industry can perform well outside the reach of our shops. This conversation was recorded as a webinar, and has been reformatted for your enjoyment to reach our broader audience with the podcast. I hope you enjoy the conversation. The word of the day is consistency. Definition: The quality of always behaving or performing in the same way, or of holding firmly together as a whole; steadiness of practice or standard over time.

    Checklists Part 2: From Memory to Communication [E105]

    Thank You To Our Partners AutoFlow, Shop Dog Marketing, InBound, and Service Advisor Training Watch Full Video Episode In our episode today, I want to talk about something that's been sitting in plain sight in most automotive service facilities: we've built the checklist half of a good inspection, but we've never built the communication half. I open with a simple observation from a recent workshop, timing how long a vehicle actually sits between drop off and the moment a wrench turns. What I found is that busy people at every step can still add up to a slow, isolated process for the client, and that isolation costs us more than time. It costs us accountability. From there I get into what I've learned to call silent disengagement, the narrow, task-locked focus that looks exactly like good work from the outside, but quietly misses things that fall outside a specialist's lane. I share two examples that show what that costs, one from a recent onsite consultation involving a tire job and a missed tie rod, and one from my own history as a transmission specialist. I lean on Atul Gawande's research from The Checklist Manifesto throughout, including the surgical checklist trial at the University of Toronto and his four expectations of true professionalism, closing with why AI voice dictation is about to reward the exact verbal habit our industry has let go quiet. Word of the Day: Articulate. This word does double duty. As an adjective, it means expressing yourself clearly and effectively. As a verb, it carries two jobs: to put an idea into words, and, in anatomy and mechanics, to form a joint that lets two parts move together. The etymology is interesting on this one - as it plays well to the point I want to make. I genuinely hope you find this topic, and where it is leading us, intriguing! I also once again, insist that you pick up Atul Gawande’s book - the Checklist Manifesto - How to get things right. Let it challenge you on EVERYTHING, as it has challenged me. Sincerely, Craig O'Neill SOURCES Gawande, A. (2009). The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right. Metropolitan Books. Harper, D. (n.d.). Articulate (v.). Online Etymology Dictionary.

    From Fixer to Connector: Leading Through the Catalyst of Growth with Nick Pope [E104]

    Thank You To Our Partners AutoFlow, Shop Dog Marketing, InBound, and Service Advisor Training Watch Full Video Episode In our episode today: I'm so grateful that I was connected with our new friend, Nick Pope, and had the opportunity to share this conversation with you. Nick has an awesome story growing up in the industry, which parallels a lot of what I’ve heard from others experiences, including myself, as ones who grew up in the bays and then evolved by necessity into leaders in the organizations that we work for. I quickly found common ground with Nick, as he articulated well what is often true - that it is in discomfort, maybe even after pain or loss, that we find the catalyst for change in our careers. Nick and I went rather deep into this topic, touching on parenthood, leadership, friendships and faith, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I think you will too. You'll get to know a little bit more about Nick, and hear why being a connector is one of the most valuable things that we can learn as leaders, for the betterment of our industry, our families, and our own personal communication and leadership skills. Nick book recommendation cited in the show: The 16 Irrefutable Laws of Communication by John Maxwell (I ordered my copy already!) Our WOTD: Catalyst Catalyst (noun) A person or thing that causes change or action, often without being changed itself in the process. In chemistry, a substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by it. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Nick as much as I did. I’ll be eager to have him back on the show!

    Checklists Part 1: From Boeing to the Service Bay [E103]

    Thank You To Our Partners AutoFlow, Shop Dog Marketing, InBound, and Service Advisor Training Watch Full Video Episode I introduce a rather enjoyable topic for myself as an aviation history buff, specifically a World War II aviation history buff, we’ll be talking about lessons from the fateful story of the Model 299. It's a chapter that's cited in an amazing book that I read, which I'm highly recommending to all of our listeners. The book is "The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right" by Atul Gawande. This book is revolutionizing my approach to the automotive repair facility processes that I teach. Captures a sense of where I see things headed, as we are entering an era where technology can finally converge with the power of checklists. Gawande specifically cites two modes of failure in the topic of necessary fallibility: Ignorance and Ineptitude. Ineptitude is also our word of the day. Noun. lacking in fitness or not suitable to the time, place, or occasion Ineptitude deals with the topic of knowing but not doing. It's the very thing that makes us human. It's the very thing that dictates we must have processes to compensate for that fallibility. I hope you find this topic as intriguing as I do, and you'll stick with me to hear the directions that I think this topic should lead us in. Sincerely, Craig O’Neill Sources: Gawande, A. (2009).

    W.I.N.S.: Your 4-Step Guide to Effective Delegation with Kent Bullard [E102]

    Thank You To Our Partners AutoFlow, Shop Dog Marketing, InBound, and Service Advisor Training Watch Full Video Episode We're continuing with a string of excellent guests, and we have a returning friend and friend of the show, Ken Bullard. Our topic is delegation. If you're one of those folks that has a hard time delegating, because maybe you just think you can do it better and faster yourself, this is an episode for you. Kent has immersed himself into this topic and has some wonderful material, of which we are bringing a sample to our audience, "Delegation WINS." Kent worked through an example that I gave him of my recent experience with delegation, And we worked straight through Ken's model, discussing: WINS, what the win looks like, the impact of the delegation, non-negotiables, and how to support the people we're delegating with. The Word of The Day: Verb (or an intransitive verb) Delegate 1 to entrust to another delegate authority delegated the task to her assistant 2 to assign responsibility or authority a good manager knows how to delegate “Delegate” in my view has never meant transferring ultimate responsibility. It means bringing someone in to act, while you remain accountable for the outcome. If you find this topic as helpful as I found it enjoyable.
