Meet the NADA Show 2025 Main Stage Speakers

NADA Show is the premier event for automotive industry professionals. Whether you're a seasoned dealer or a rising manager, this annual gathering offers invaluable opportunities to network, learn and stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving industry. 

Leading By Example
Have you ever wondered, “What’s it like for people to be led by me?” Best-selling author and esteemed executive coach Ryan Leak handles questions like this every day. He dedicates his expertise to helping C-suite leaders of Fortune 100 corporations, elite professional sports teams and, now, franchised new-car dealers.

Leak’s books, "Chasing Failure” and "Leveling Up” offer practical strategies for overcoming challenges, and achieving personal and professional success. Watch Ryan Leak in action! 

He offers valuable insights for personal and professional growth. And being (or becoming) an effective leader starts within.

Get ready to ask yourself critical questions, including:

  • What mistakes can I own? 
  • What credit can I give away? 
  • What risk do I need to take?

Answers can help you develop strategies for self-awareness, team empowerment and building a lasting legacy in your business.  

New Speaker Announced
John Cena will be overseas filming, so will no longer be able to attend NADA Show 2025. Luckily, Frank Caliendo has agreed to step in and entertain us! 

Caliendo is a renowned comedian, actor and impressionist known for his uncanny ability to mimic celebrities, sports figures and political leaders. Perhaps best known for his decade-long stint on Fox NFL Sunday Pregame and as a cast member on the Fox TV series MADtv, his comedic talents have also been showcased on numerous television appearances, including Super Bowl pre-game shows, ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, and his own TBS series, Frank TV. He brings a high-energy blend of observations, impressions, characters and stories. 

You won’t want to miss out!

Victory Through Teamwork and Leadership 
Be sure to stay through Sunday to elevate your game and be inspired to lead your team to victory! The legendary Coach K will share insights, inspirations and proven principles learned throughout his unparalleled coaching career. Mike Krzyzewski best known as head men’s basketball coach at Duke University (1980-2022) — who also led Team USA to three Olympic gold medals — is a master motivator, not only of teams but of individuals and organizations, spurring them to succeed beyond even their own expectations. 

A member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Coach K shows how dealers can amass winning numbers in their professional and personal lives. Perhaps the most accomplished basketball coach in history, Coach K has achieved unparalleled milestones, including:

  • Most NCAA Division I Victories (1,202) 
  • Most Final Fours (13; five NCAA Championships, second all-time) 
  • Most NCAA Tournament Victories (101) 
  • Most Olympic Gold Medals as a Head Coach (3; 2008, 2012 and 2016)

The author of two New York Times best-sellers, Coach K maps a gameplan for achieving success — motivating, leading and providing powerful strategies for building confidence, trust, communication and teamwork.
