Webinar: Dealing with the Change with Your Brain in Mind

View the Recording

Our brains crave change. If you want to continue to expand and grow, your brain requires a change to happen through new connections and new ways of thinking. The challenge is that there are mechanisms in our brains that cause us to first think of change as a loss, it can be a difficult thing to manage.

Since change is both inevitable and necessary, especially if we want to grow, you can start practicing with these tools to learn strategies so that when change does arise, you can navigate it with less stress, greater collaboration, and more intention to build a stronger future.

Leading through uncertain times: what employees need now

Andrew Bishop knows where you’re at and gets where you want to be. He’s a high-performing executive who has helped grow and evolve several organizations over his career journey. But prior to joining Baudville Brands, he spent time in the staffing and manufacturing industries where he acknowledges that he learned about employee engagement more by setting an example of “what not to do” than by being a master of it. His P&L-driven approach to leadership was a barrier to true success and now serves as the catalyst for his passion for employee engagement.

Over the past six years, Andrew has committed to investing in others and sharing his learnings at every opportunity. He’s had the privilege of leading education, training, client analysis, program design, customer success, and new business development for Baudville Brands, and he enjoys every minute! Whether it’s working with clients, investing in his staff, or speaking at conferences, Andrew has emerged as a top thought leader who’s passionate about inspiring others—YOU!—to join the Employee Engagement Revolution.

Uncertain and difficult times have a way of slowing us all down and holding us back. We can quickly become our own worst enemies and slip into that unhealthy and unproductive mental state. It’s in these times, that we need our leaders more than ever. We need them to be that “GPS” that helps us re-calculate, course-correct, and re-center our focus on what we can control, that next step forward.

In this session, Andrew will discuss:

  • How leaders are our organization’s “GPS” for our employees
  • What are some of the best practices and tips for Leaders when navigating uncertain and difficult times like these
  • What are the tools available to leaders and organizations
  • Why it’s more important than ever to focus on strengthening the ‘emotional equity’ within your team

Rob Dwortz
Founding Partner, Become Unmistakable
As a recovering banker, I’ve been trained to believe that people are assets to be deployed to create shareholder value. That worked when I was the asset, but when I found myself in leadership roles, the idea simply fell apart. Through 25 years of executive leadership, business ownership and consulting experience I’ve learned that the most valuable and sacred asset of any organization is its people. Focus on their success and happiness as they define it and you will tap into immeasurable value in your business. I’ve since had the opportunity to test this theory and see the success in action as a bank CEO and private business owner, as well as through numerous advisory relationships with executive teams within manufacturing, professional services, education, and non-profit industries. When I’m not driving culture, you can find me having a glass of wine with my bride of 23 years, desperately clinging to my teen and college-age kids, coaching baseball, or skiing at every opportunity I can find!


Jodi DeRoo
Director of Learning, Become Unmistakable
My passion is people. I believe most people have untapped potential, and if businesses invest in unleashing that potential – then numbers will follow. I’ve had the opportunity to master a variety of roles, from lending to treasury management to operations to talent management. I’ve worked with start-up companies and tenured organizations. I’ve helped drive cultural change in a way that inspired organic growth, momentum and team member engagement. I believe learning is a lifelong journey and I welcome new challenges as an integral part of my ongoing development. About 10 years ago I started digging deep into the brain science behind human interactions and it opened up a whole new obsession for me! In my spare time you’ll find me lovin’ on my family, especially my grandchildren (the greatest dopamine dump ever!) – reading books, singing crazy songs and having sock races down the hallways.
