What is The Coaching Cohort™?

A private 6-month leadership development experience limited to 8 automotive leaders. Each month includes a private coaching session, a leadership lab, a hot seat session, and an implementation week.

Who is The Coaching Cohort™ for?

Leaders in automotive retail who carry real responsibility, feel the pressure of performance, and know something in their leadership must change. This is not for the uncommitted.

What is the investment for The Coaching Cohort™?

$2,500 for the full 6-month engagement. Limited to 8 leaders per cohort.

How is The Coaching Cohort™ different from other leadership programs?

Most programs deliver content. This cohort tracks behavior, holds commitments, and requires full partnership from every member. Every session ends with a commitment. Every commitment is followed up.

The Coaching Cohort™ | Private Leadership Development

The Ecosystem

Two outcomes.
Every engagement.

You bring your growth areas. Your real challenges. Your goals. They all live inside a model built for exactly two things.

Increased Fulfillment
for Self

You will move closer to who you actually are — as a leader, a business partner, and a person. We get there by identifying your vision, values, and strengths and helping you lead in genuine alignment with them. When that alignment exists, everything else gets cleaner.

Greater Impact
for Others

The people under your care feel everything you bring into the room. When you become more fulfilled in who you are, that translates directly into the clarity, confidence, and consistency your team needs from you. Fulfillment is not selfish. It is the strategy.

The Business Partner Dynamic

No silver bullets.
No shortcuts.

"Anyone promising you a quick fix is not coaching you. They are comforting you. And comfort does not create change."

Real change requires effort, focus, commitment, and genuine partnership — not once, not when it is convenient, but consistently over six months under pressure.
Years of behavioral patterns do not dissolve in a conversation. Research in neuroplasticity is clear: the brain rewires through sustained deliberate practice. Insight alone is not enough. The real work starts after the breakthrough.
The business partner dynamic raises the stakes. You are not just doing your own work. You are doing it in relationship — with someone who has their own patterns, their own history, their own blind spots. You have to grow while they grow while the business keeps moving.
The leaders who succeed here are not the most talented. They are the most committed. This is not for the weary, the uncommitted, or the leader who believes years of behavior change overnight.

The Structure

Motion every week.
Progress every month.

A disciplined monthly rhythm. Virtual. Consistent. Built so no leader drifts between sessions.

Private Coaching

One-on-one. Your specific challenge. Your growth arc. Full depth.

Leadership Lab

Group development work. Skills and behaviors practiced in real time.

Hot Seat Session

One leader. One real challenge. The group goes deep. Peer insight you cannot get anywhere else.

Implementation + Reflection

Track behavior. Review every commitment. Name every drift. Progress is made visible.

Every 6 Weeks

Guest Leader Roundtable — Not a lecture. A conversation. Real experience from leaders who have built what you are building.

The 6-Month Transformation

Not a checklist.
A different way of leading.

These are behaviors you will practice until they become habits.

01

Master Crucial Conversations

Give feedback that lands. Ask questions that open doors. Handle conflict without flinching. The conversations most leaders avoid — you will stop avoiding.
02

Build Rhythms That Stick

Daily, weekly, and monthly cadences that drive accountability and momentum. Systems that hold even when you are not in the room.
03

Develop an Emerging Leader

Coach someone on your team to carry your standards when you step back. Great leaders multiply. They do not just perform.
04

Think Like an Owner

Move from doing to delegating. Work on the business, not just in it. This is the shift that separates managers from leaders.
05

Lead from Strength

Increase emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-awareness. Lead from clarity and conviction — not performance and pressure.

Qualification

This is not for everyone.
That is intentional.

This Is For You If

You carry real responsibility and feel the weight of it
You know something in your leadership must change
You are done figuring it out alone
You will show up fully and do what you commit to
You want to be challenged — not just affirmed
You can hold discomfort long enough to learn from it

This Is Not For You If

You want to feel better without doing the harder work
You believe years of behavior change in a few sessions
You are looking for validation, not transformation
You treat commitments as suggestions
You are unwilling to be fully honest in a group
You are weary, uncommitted, or just testing the water

Apply for The Coaching Cohort™

The leaders who
thrive here apply first.

Joseph Clementi reviews every application personally. This is not a sales conversation. It is an evaluation. You will be asked three questions. Then we talk — to see if you belong in the room.

What leadership challenge are you currently facing?
What metric are you responsible for improving?
What behavior do you know must change?

8 seats. Joseph Clementi reviews every application within one business day. This is not a financial commitment.

Most leaders try to figure it out alone. They do not need more information. They need a place to practice leadership under pressure — with people who will not let them drift.

Where are you going to do that work?

The Covenant Standards Agreement

Welcome to The Coaching Cohort™. Before your first session, please read the following standards carefully. These are not policies. They are the covenant of this room — the agreement that makes the work possible. When you sign below, you are committing to every standard, every session, for the full six months.

Attendance

You attend every scheduled one-on-one and group session. Your presence is not optional. When you are absent, the room loses your voice and your peers lose your perspective. Protect this commitment before anything else on your calendar.

Contribution

Passive attendance is not participation. You bring your real challenges to group settings. You engage honestly. You give what you want to receive. Silence is a withdrawal from the group.

Between-Session Work

What you commit to in the session, you do. The work does not live in the hour we share. It lives in the choices you make when no one is watching. That is where the change happens.

Hot Seat Presence

When it is your seat, be open. Do not manage your image. When it is someone else's seat, be fully present. Ask real questions. Challenge assumptions without ego. The hot seat is the heartbeat of this cohort.

Partner Accountability

Respect is non-negotiable. Encouragement is not a courtesy — it is a responsibility. You pour into this group because others will pour into you. Every leader here is trusting you with their real challenges. Protect that trust absolutely.

No-Excuse Approach

You will not make excuses for why the work did not happen. You will get honest about what stopped you. That honesty is the work. This cohort accelerates outcomes. Acceleration requires pressure. Pressure requires truth.

"Every session ends with a commitment. We hold you to it. We expect you to hold us to the same. This is not a policy. It is a partnership. — Joseph Clementi"

I have read and agree to The Coaching Cohort™ Covenant Standards in full. I understand this commitment covers all six months of the engagement.
