Break The Script

In Break The Script, Rob Redenbach demonstrates how group conformity can trap us in unproductive patterns—and why effective leaders break old scripts to create new ones. Drawing from a career that spans from training the FBI’s Special Weapons and Tactics team to performing stand-up comedy at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Rob casts new light on adaptability. As Unilever’s Global Chief of Transformation noted, “Rob’s idea of scripts, and how to adapt them to meet changing needs, is particularly important. Above all, he’s an incredible storyteller and teacher who shows how things work in real life.” To learn more, click here.

Stress is Not The Problem

In Stress is Not The Problem (the problem is a lack of recovery), Rob Redenbach reveals that building long-term resilience isn’t about eliminating stress but about balancing high performance with intentional recovery. Using a practical framework that covers four key areas—Mind, Body, Social, and Global—Rob illustrates how resilience is shaped by the footprints we leave and the legacies we create through our actions and relationships. His unique blend of storytelling, humour, and hard facts inspires reflection and personal accountability across all areas of life.
