“I had the opportunity to see Todd Bertsch speak for the second time at the HR Collaborative Conference in Cincinnati, and his session truly stood out. From the moment he took the stage, Todd brought an incredible level of energy that completely transformed the room. By the end, people were standing up and dancing.”

Matthew Stein – Event Coordinator for HR Collaborative Conference

Change is no longer occasional. It is constant.

long underline

As workplace expectations and global disruption continue to rise, leaders are being asked to do more under increasing pressure. The result is burnout, disengagement, and teams stuck in survival mode. This is not just a performance issue. It is a stress and mindset issue.

The Solution: Reignite the Spark

In this powerful keynote, Todd Bertsch introduces the SPARK Framework, a proven approach that helps leaders and teams move out of stress and back into growth.

Instead of chasing symptoms like burnout, disengagement, and resistance, this keynote addresses the root cause and provides practical tools and strategies for employee engagement to create lasting change.

Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of how to:

  • Reignite curiosity to overcome fear and resistance
  • Strengthen mindset to lead with clarity under pressure 
  • Take intentional action that builds momentum 
  • Create a culture that drives engagement, retention, and performance 

Because when people remember their spark, they stop choosing comfort and start choosing growth.

What makes this keynote different

Most change and leadership talks from a typical motivational speaker focus on what to do. This keynote focuses on how to think.

Todd combines real-world leadership experience with mental fitness principles and behavioral science to give audiences practical tools they can apply immediately.

KEY OUTCOMES

  • Understand the root cause behind burnout and resistance to change 
  • Gain tools to shift from reactive thinking to intentional leadership

  • What an energizing start to the day! Todd Bertsch made mindset shifts feel real, actionable… and got us moving—literally. Rumor has it there may have been a flash mob in a coffee shop in the Northeast (still waiting for the photo evidence). Excited to see this momentum ripple through our team!
