The Corporate Bartender

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

Innovation is a skill in which a lot of company's strive to excel. Ever wonder why some are really good at it, and some (no matter how hard they try) just can't get it to stick? This is true for tech, for products, and for the people side of business. If you find innovation remotely interesting, you're in the right spot!

We've got Robyn Bolton on the program. Don't know Robyn? Stick around! She's awesome!

Robyn is the Founder and Chief Navigator at Mile Zero, a consultancy that helps companies to hone their innovation chops. Robyn has worked with Clayton Christensen, so her innovation credentials are legit! She also helped develop and launch really cool products like Swiffer and Swiffer WetJet. 

She's been featured in Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, the New York Times, and she's the author of, Unlocking Innovation: A Leader's Guide to Turning Bold Ideas Into Tangible Results."

This was a fantastic conversation, it was a blast to have Robyn back on the show, and I think you're gonna dig it!

If you want to skip straight to the interview, 7:04 is your spot!

What is The Corporate Bartender?

So, what is TCB?

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 community of people leaders from various industries who have come together 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. Think of it as a podcast with a live interactive audience. It's a community. 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!
