The Corporate Bartender

What's up everyone and welcome to The Corporate Bartender!

Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving, and is enjoying the season of holidays that we find ourselves in right now.

Today's show is a good one! We're digging deep into positive influence. We're talking about the ripple effects of the actions that we take and why the influence that we create matters. We have Brian Smith on the program! If you don't know Brian, you know we'll hook you up!

He is the founder and senior managing partner of IA Business Advisors, a management consulting firm that has worked with more than 19,000 CEOs, entrepreneurs, managers, and employees worldwide. Together with his daughter, Mary Griffin, he has authored his latest book in the “I” in Team series, Positive Influence – Be the “I” in Team, which shares how to become our best selves with everyone we influence.

This conversation was a banger, and I think you're all gonna really dig it!

If you want to skip straight to the interview, 5:39 is your spot!

What is The Corporate Bartender?

In these crazy days, I felt like we could all use some support, some community, some innovative people-side-of-the-business ideas, and of course, some cocktails. What started as a response to COVID19 has evolved into something much more meaningful. It's become an amazing group of people leaders from various industries who have come together as the world is changing to share ideas, some best practices, to learn from our mistakes, and build connection with others who are facing similar issues.

We are all about sharing at TCB. We share Learning & Development tools. We share updates to the legal landscape. We talk about issues facing our employees and our leadership teams. We interview innovative People Leaders who have cutting edge ideas. Oh, and we laugh. A lot!

I know what you're thinking. What is this thing? Is it another Zoom meeting? Is it a Podcast? Is it a show? What in the world am I getting into? It's all of those things and none of those things. It's a forum for ideas, meeting similar folks, and finding a little bastion of sanity in an exceedingly complex world. It's a breath of fresh air, and a respite from your grueling schedule - where you'll be in great company, and probably take away a few things that you can use at work...and in life each episode.

If you are an HR or People Leader in your organization, this is the place for you. You are welcome here!
