The Corporate Bartender - When Good Enough Isn't Enough, You've Gotta Be Superior with Rusty Komori

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

Happy Holidays to everyone! The holidays are chock full of inspirational moments, and we want to add one to yours. We've got an amazing guest today, who's got some fantastic stories.

We've got the Rusty Komori on the show today! Don't know Rusty? You probably should, so stick around!

Rusty is an inspirational keynote speaker, executive coach, and tennis professional based in Honolulu, Hawaii. From 1994 through 2015, he was a high school tennis coach, where he led his teams to an unprecedented 22 consecutive state championships, a national record in all sports that stands to this day! He's also the host of the televised series Beyond the Lines and the author of three books, including his newest release Superior: Creating a Superior Culture of Excellence.

We're going to be talking about superior performance and how to create a culture steeped in this idea. Everyone knows that I love a good framework - and Rusty's book has FOUR! You're gonna get a lot of really useful gems today, some truly astonishing stories - there are ELEVEN folks (that Rusty knows of) who are still on this earth because of Rusty and his ideas. Plus, Rusty's just a great dude.

This conversation was a BANGER, and I think you're gonna dig it!

If you wanna skip straight to the interview, 3:59 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!
