Description

Somewhere along the way, you confused chaos with leadership.

You’re sprinting through meetings, inhaling coffee between calls, texting three managers while yelling across the showroom because you think speed is control. But here’s the truth: urgency might be your crutch, not your edge.

In this episode of The Dealership War Room, Chris Hunsicker takes you to a Paris café and shows you how stillness, presence, and intentional pace can transform your leadership. You’ll learn why slowing down doesn’t make you weak, it makes you lethal.

Your battle plan:

• The Café Principle – How to turn calm into a competitive advantage
• 15-Minute War Room Window – The clarity break that makes your day unshakable
• One Moment of Pure Presence – The 3-minute daily ritual that rewires trust and influence
• Replace Reaction with Ritual – How to set the pace (and peace) for your entire team

You’ll hear why Napoleon waited three weeks to open his mail, why most problems aren’t urgent, they’re just loud, and how to stop leading like a thermometer that reacts to the heat… and start leading like a thermostat that sets the temperature.

📢 Listen now, then forward this to a leader you respect. Ask them, “How calm am I… really?” Slow down 10%. Show up 100%. Watch everything change.
