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!

The Corporate Bartender - You're Not Stuck With What You Grew Up With with Dr. L Carol Scott

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

Any of you ever feel SASSY? Lord knows, I do, but probably not in the way today's guest uses the term. She believes in it so much, she wrote a manifesto...a 'sassifesto,' if you will.

We've got Dr. L Carol Scott on the program today! Dr. Carol joined us here a couple of years ago, and we decided it was time to get together again, because the sassifesto has gotten a refresh and a new version has been released.

If you don't know Dr. Carol, stick around. She is a trauma-informed developmental psychologist, TEDx speaker, coach, and #1 International Best-Selling author. We talk about the things that happen to us between the ages of 1 and 7, and how pretty much what everyone learns about being a friend, colleague, mentor, or life partner is cooked by age 7. 7! We also talk brain science, development do-overs, and bringing back our social sanity.

You know what I'm gonna say, this conversation was a my FAVORITE of 2025 so far, and I think you're gonna dig it!

There are frameworks galore, we'll talk about a control model, how to not make a 'left turn into Rumination, about headlight and taillight people, and what it means to V.I.B.E.

You know what I'm gonna say, this conversation was a banger, and I think you're gonna dig it!

The Corporate Bartender - AI is WAY Better with People with Nada Sanders

Let's keep the 2025 TCB machine a-rollin'!

AI is all over the place these days, and we're gonna unpack the "is it Skynet or is it going to help" question - just a little bit.

We've got the Nada Sanders on the program today! Don't know Nada? We've got your back!

What if the future isn’t about bits and bytes replacing humans, but about something more revolutionary—machines and humans merging to create a new kind of business superintelligence? The secret to thriving in the AI era isn’t about investing in smart tech—it’s about creating a “humachine,” a smarter system of human-machine collaborations. 

In her book The Humachine: AI, Human Virtues, and the Superintelligent Enterprise, she provides a roadmap to help business leaders, executives, and managers recognize and unlock the potential of human-machine partnerships.

This conversation was a a blast, we did it from the road in Richmond, Virginia, and you know, I think you're gonna dig it!

The Corporate Bartender - Take Charge of Your Life Story with Lior Arussy

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

Happy New Year to everyone! Let's get 2025 off to a rip roaring start, shall we?

We've got the Lior Arussy on the show today! Don't know Lior? Well, you're in for a TREAT!

Ever wonder why some people come through challenges stronger and more successful, while for others it's a rough road?  Lior, who has done this a bunch of times, believes that the critical factor determining failure or success lies in the story people craft around their experiences.

In his new book, DARE TO AUTHOR! Take Charge of the Narrative of Your Life, he provides a reality check and a toolkit for taking charge of your life story, focusing on the power you possess, and using it to build the career and life you want.

There are so many golden nuggets in this one, you're gonna take a lot of notes! Go get the "good pen!"

This conversation was a PHENOMENAL, it was one of my FAVORITES of 2024, and TCB Nation, I think you're gonna dig it!

If you wanna skip straight to the interview, 3:36 is your spot.

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.

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!

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.

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!
