Reroute Reflections

In this episode of Reroute Reflections, Andrew Ourique is joined by Perry Gordon, Organizational Change Manager at M&T Bank, to explore what organizations can learn from M&A, enterprise transformation, and the people side of change. Drawing on his experience supporting change within the financial services industry, Perry shares lessons from M&A and organizational transformation—including the challenges of integrating cultures, breaking down silos, and building the capabilities organizations need to navigate change successfully. Together, Andrew and Perry discuss why transformation starts with people, the importance of leaders modelling the right mindsets and behaviours, and why organizations should build these foundations before major change begins. They also explore the connection between engagement and innovation, the value of experimentation, and why curiosity can be one of the most powerful tools for change practitioners and leaders. Whether you're leading transformation, supporting an integration, or helping an organization build its capacity for change, this episode offers practical lessons for navigating complexity with confidence.

Why do so many people feel stuck at work, even when they have a good job on paper? In this episode of Reroute Reflections, Andrew sits down with Anna Moritz-Kelm to talk about what happens when work no longer feels like it fits. Anna recently stepped away from her corporate career to pursue her passion for becoming a therapist, and in this conversation, she shares what led her to that decision, what it felt like to recognize the disconnect, and why change often comes down to a choice between what hurts and what hurts worse. Andrew and Anna also discuss a stat that should make every leader pause: 69% of workers say they would leave their job if they could. Together, they explore what may be sitting underneath that feeling, including burnout, work conditions, leadership, culture, boundaries, career growth, and the pressure many people leaders are facing. This conversation is not about telling everyone to quit their job. It is about getting more honest about what our relationship with work is trying to tell us, and what leaders and organizations can do to create better conditions for people to stay, grow, and feel well at work. In this episode, we cover: Why so many people may feel stuck at workAnna’s decision to step away from corporate and pursue therapyThe difference between leaving a job and understanding what no longer fitsWhy leaders need to model the behaviour they want from their teamsHow remote work has blurred boundaries for many employeesThe pressure organizations place on people leadersWhy job architecture and leadership development need to work togetherWhy change management experience applies far beyond change projects Listen now to Why So Many People Feel Stuck at Work (And What to Do About It).

Most organizations don’t struggle with change because they lack tools. They struggle because they’re solving the wrong problem. In this episode of Reroute Reflections, Andrew is joined by Sean Speake, a learning and development leader with deep experience in instructional design, facilitation, and workplace learning. Together, they explore the overlap between learning and change management, and why both disciplines often fall into the same trap: defaulting to activity instead of focusing on outcomes. This conversation challenges common assumptions about training, onboarding, and performance, including how we measure success and where organizations actually create impact. A key theme throughout the episode is the importance of curiosity, asking better questions, and creating space for real conversations.

In this episode of Reroute Reflections, we flip the script. Andrew Ourique takes the guest seat as Rebecca hosts a candid conversation on the trends shaping change management in 2026 and what leaders need to unlearn to keep up. Together, they reflect on which 2025 predictions actually materialized, where organizations are still falling short, and why AI adoption alone is not the answer. Andrew shares why treating AI like a product, not a tool, is critical, how leadership readiness and psychological safety directly impact change outcomes, and why coaching is becoming a core pillar of effective change strategies. The conversation explores: Why first movers in AI often struggle to find real valueThe growing gap between enterprise change and individual experienceHow change fatigue quietly derails transformationWhy curiosity, not control, is the leadership skill that matters most in 2026 This episode is a practical, honest look at the human side of change and a reminder that sustainable transformation starts with how leaders show up, not just what they implement.

Bad hires do not just cost money. They slow teams down, erode trust with existing employees, and quietly derail transformations long before leaders realize what is happening. In this episode of Reroute Reflections, Andrew Ourique is joined by Joshua Hill, Co-Founder of SuperHired and VP of People & Culture at Tier 11, to unpack the true cost of a bad hire and why most companies continue to ignore it. Drawing on lessons from his time as an Army Infantry Captain, the conversation reframes hiring as the first and most critical part of the employee experience. Together, they explore why hiring should be treated like product marketing, how poor discovery leads to costly downstream impacts, and why getting the right person in the seat at the right time is foundational to culture, performance, and change success.
