32 minutes

Diana Shubert is a seasoned Parts Director. She has a remarkable career spanning several decades across sales, auto, and real estate. Beginning her journey in the parts industry in the ‘80s, Diana Shubert advanced from a cashier to a leadership role, showcasing her passion for and knowledge of classic cars and modern automotive technology. With extensive experience in both service and parts management, Diana has continually defied stereotypes and overcome biases as a woman in the male-dominated automotive sector.

The automotive industry is often seen as a male-dominated field, but Diana Shubert and Kaylee Felio encourage women to seize every opportunity and break down barriers. Their discussion is not just about personal achievement but also about empowering others to aim higher in their careers.

A significant part of their conversation focuses on communication and engaging with others. Diana emphasizes how essential these skills are in workplace interactions. From a chance encounter at an elevator leading to a job offer to handling customer relationships with finesse, Diana's experiences highlight the importance of stepping out of one's comfort zone.

One of the highlights in this episode is Diana’s call to understand and engage with employees rather than hastily resorting to punitive measures. By nurturing and addressing employee concerns, businesses can foster a more constructive and supportive environment.
