As the founder of Carlton PR & Marketing, Mass Innovation Nights, and Innovation Women, Bobbie has dedicated her career to breaking barriers and creating platforms that amplify diverse voices. In our conversation, Bobbie shared her fascinating journey from broadcasting to global PR at Cognos and her transition into entrepreneurship. She revealed her passion for storytelling as a catalyst for innovation and her mission to eliminate the all-too-common “manels” (all-male panels) that dominate tech and innovation conferences.  Through Innovation Women, she's redefined public speaking as a tool for visibility and career advancement, positioning it as a gateway for women to claim leadership roles, board positions, and career-changing opportunities. Bobbie also unpacked the art of memorable storytelling, emphasizing the power of refrains and structure in capturing an audience's attention. She spoke candidly about the common mistakes speakers make, such as telling overly lengthy or irrelevant stories, and offered actionable advice to start stories closer to their conclusion to maintain impact and clarity. We also reflected on our shared roots in PR, reminiscing about the clip books and envelope-stuffing days that shaped our understanding of the evolving communication landscape.

 The founder of the Innovation Women speaking platform, she also owns the companies Innovation Nights, Carlton PR + Marketing and Lioness Magazine.  She does what she does because she's tired of seeing the same “male, pale and stale” speakers on stage at events. But she's hardly against men—she says, in fact, that she'd welcome any man that wants to join a website called Innovation Women.  In this episode, we not only dove into how to get paid speaking gigs (the short version: kill it at free conferences so that people ask you to come deliver the same speech at their company) but also how she learned the most from a failed startup, finding out she had to deliver a TEDx talk two days before the event and why she started Innovation Women because she was “pissed off.” For more info, go to www.failyourway.com.

In this episode, marketing agency owner and founder of Innovation Women, Bobbie Carlton, shares her advice for executives & event organizers, and discusses her passion project aimed at increasing female representation on conference stages. Carlton discusses her day job running a marketing agency, her night job running Innovation Nights events, and her 'dream job' with Innovation Women, which addresses the gender disparity in public speaking opportunities at conferences and events. Innovation Women has successfully connected event managers with over 2,500 female speakers from across the globe, facilitating around 5,000 tracked speaking engagements. Carlton also recounts her experiences with launching Innovation Nights, a monthly event designed as a marketing platform for Boston area startups, which leveraged social media to achieve remarkable visibility for 1,500 product launches, and support for local entrepreneurs. The episode emphasizes the importance of public speaking for professional visibility and leadership, the challenges in the speaker selection process for events, and the changing landscape of speaking opportunities due to the pandemic and the rise of podcasts. Carlton concludes with her hopes for the future of event hosting and the continued significance of in-person interactions.00:00 Welcome and Introduction of Guest00:15 Bobbi Carlton's Multifaceted Career and Innovation Women00:42 The Impact of Innovation Women on Female Speakers03:49 A Marketing Success Story: Innovation Nights08:56 Empowering Women in Public Speaking Through Innovation Women13:13 The Challenges and Opportunities of Public Speaking21:42 The Role of Podcasts and the Pandemic in Promoting Diversity in Speaking24:04 The Future of Events Post-COVID

What is Speaking Out of the Box - John: Technology plus technique - Shelley: Finding opportunities and seizing them; you do not need permission to speak - Bobbie: Doing something unexpected, rather than what the audience anticipates you will do.

Many femtech entrepreneurs want to enhance their presence as recognized public speakers who get paid to share their insights with audiences worldwide. The reality, however, is that only 32% of professional public speakers are women and only 25% of all technology keynote or stand-alone public speakers are women. Too often, women struggle to break into the public speaking arena or are offered speaking engagements solely to add diversity to an all-male panel. This devalues the expertise of incredible founders and entrepreneurs who have important insights, journeys, and lessons to share with interested audiences. In this episode of FemInnovation, host Bethany Corbin speaks with Bobbie Carlton, founder of Innovation Women and Carlton PR & Marketing, about how women entrepreneurs can fight for their place on stage. Bethany and Bobbie discuss tips and tricks for women to get their names known in the public speaking world, why it's important to start your public speaking journey early, and how to find your “secret sauce” and core message that sets you apart from other speakers. They also explore how speakers can set themselves up for success when taking that next step into paid public speaking, how to think about your own business model as a speaker, and why it's essential to do the hard work before presentations to deliver real value. This episode is a must-listen for any female (especially those in femtech) who is looking to create a bigger presence on stage! RELEVANT LINKS: More about Innovation Women at this website. More about Carlton PR & Marketing at this website.Follow Innovation Women @LinkedInFree Speaker Resources at this website. Connect with Our Guest, Bobbie Carlton: LINKEDIN | INSTAGRAMFollow Our Host, Bethany Corbin:WEBSITE | LINKEDIN | INSTAGRAM | ADDITIONAL LINKS

Networking isn't just about exchanging business cards or adding contacts on LinkedIn. Companies who focus on cultivating connections experience higher retention and growth when employees are engaged. This profound message resonates throughout the latest episode of HerCsuite® Radio, where host Natalie Benamou sits down with networking strategist, author and speaker, Diane Darling, to discuss how employees crave connection.5 Networking Power Tips:1. **Have a Role**: Diane suggests taking on a role at the networking event to avoid feeling like an "unemployed networker." Whether it's introducing the speaker, picking them up from the airport, or handling name tags, having a role gives you a purpose and a reason to engage with others.2. **Pre-Send Yourself**: Before attending the event, reach out to speakers or leaders of the organization on LinkedIn to introduce yourself. This "pre-send" approach allows you to make connections before you even step into the room.3. **Prepare Conversation Starters**: Diane recommends having two or three starter conversations ready to initiate interactions. These could be simple questions like "Tell me how you know the company," or "Tell me your role here." Having these questions at the ready can ease the initiation of dialogue.4. **Approach Individuals**: Look for individuals who are by themselves at the event. Diane refers to this as her "silver bullet" for networking, as it often means the person is approachable and will welcome conversation, helping both of you feel more comfortable.5. **Networking-Friendly Set-Up**: If you're organizing the event, or even if you're just attending, pay attention to how the environment is set up to facilitate interactions.On a corporate level, encourage employees to connect before, and post meetings and events.3 Ways to Create a Networking Culture:1. **Conversation Starters**: Provide employees with tools that include interactive conversation starters. This will encourage employees at every level to engage. Encourage employees to initiate discussions and build connections with colleagues before, during and after meetings or events..2. **Virtual Networking Preparation**: Create a spreadsheet with employees' names, LinkedIn profiles, and interesting personal facts. This will help kickstart conversations and make virtual interactions more personal and engaging.3. **Encourage Proactive Networking**: Suggest employees reach out to colleagues before a meeting or event either virtually or in person. This connection strategy helps employees feel engaged before, during and after a meeting or event.Implementing these strategies can help employees feel more comfortable and engaged in networking opportunities, whether in person or virtual, contributing to a more connected and collaborative workplace culture.Thank you Diane, for being a valued member of HerCsuite® Innovation Women Network Hub and for sharing your wisdom today.

Women all have unique stories, struggles, and triumphs. In her recent podcast interview, Heather Tolley-Bauer, a stand-up comic, cancer survivor, and super mom, offers a fresh perspective on how we can leverage the power of laughter to overcome our personal challenges. She urges us to embrace the humorous side of life, even during tough times in this conversation.Tune in as host Natalie Benamou talks about Heather Tolley-Bauer's comedy show Laugh Lines and Stretch Marks, where women feel seen, understood, and are reminded to laugh about the small stuff so we can be ready for the big stuff. 5 Ways to use Laughter In Your Daily Life:1. Use Laughter as a Coping Tool: Life can be overwhelming. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is to take a step back and find the humor in our situations. It's okay to laugh at our mistakes and missteps - it helps us process them and move forward.2. Laugh at the Small Stuff: We often get bogged down by minor problems and let them ruin our day. Heather suggests that we laugh at these trivial issues to preserve our energy for more significant challenges.3. Share Your Funny Stories: Expressing our humorous experiences not only spreads laughter but also helps us connect with others. It makes people feel seen, understood, and less alone in their struggles.4. Use Humor to Normalize Difficult Topics: Heather uses her comedy to discuss difficult subjects, like her cancer journey. By doing so, she breaks down barriers and creates a safe space for open conversations.5. Practice Finding Humor: Just like mindfulness or gratitude, finding humor is a practice. Train your brain to look for the funny side of things. Over time, this practice can become a natural response to stress or adversity.Keep Shining Your Light Bright. The World Needs You.Thank you Heather for being a guest on HerCsuite® Radio and helping us laugh at the small stuff especially this time of year!Big thanks to Bobbie Carlton and Innovation Women where we met Heather Tolley-BauerThis Podcast is sponsored by HerCsuite® Leadership Programs.

Have you ever had sweaty palms before a speech? Have you ever felt like you could get sick before a big presentation because of nerves? If you answered yes, you are not alone. Yet, speaking in front of others is a necessary skill, especially if we want to have visibility and success at work and in life. This may sound dramatic, but I believe it's a life skill. Both of my daughters go to swimming classes because it's a life skill I want them to learn. And I talk about presenting like a boss because it is a skill I think we all should learn and continue learning throughout our lives. My guest today, Bobbie Carlton, is someone I consider to be very skilled in speaking. Bobbie and I have been running in the same circles for a while and she owns not one, two, or three businesses but FIVE of them, so I am grateful she made time to join me for this conversation. During our discussion, Bobbie and I talked about:1. How Bobbie came to own and run FIVE businesses and how she does it2. Bobbie's tips on how we can move past our fear of public speaking.3. How Toastmasters and even an improv class can help.4. Why speaking can help us up our visibility personally and professionally.5. Why waiting for someone to notice our hard work is a mistake and how we need to speak up and advocate for ourselves6. How Innovation Women can be a great way for women to dip their toes into speaking and get the exposure they need.

"We sometimes forget the value, or the power, or the impact of words because, 'Hey, we're speaking the whole time, or we're writing the whole time... it's only me, how powerful can it be?' So we say things that are the wrong things to say, or we miss our opportunities. If you have an opportunity to get a message across and you just treat it casually or you fluff it or you don't prepare, then that's a shame." This insightful comment from Jeremy Kourdi was the inspiration for this Best Bits episode, in which I look back over the last few conversations in this podcast and pick out the sparkliest moments, stringing them together to create fairy lights for your mind.  You're welcome.  With powerful words from:  Jeremy Kourdi on using your words well  Megan Hayes on what happens beyond the page Azeem Azhar on the words that become your North Star Alice Sheldon on naming what's important Becky Hall on not compromising on the words that matter Jen O'Ryan on the power of sweary words Alison Jones on the words that diminish power, and how to avoid them Bobbie Carlton on how books embody leadership Jodie Rogers on how words hold you accountable for your thinking.  Words matter. Use them, and use them well.

Drawing on her experiences as a speaker and serial entrepreneur who has connected more than 2,000 women to speaking opportunities, Bobbie shares super tips to help you gain visibility and infuse more speaking into your business.

'Author-speakers... are often people who are true thought leaders, on a mission to share their knowledge. And yes, there are people who blog and there are people who post on social media and there are people who do podcasts. But... to really achieve that thought leadership, visionary status, there's got to be a book.' Speaking and writing go together naturally, but how can you make the most of both? Bobbie Carlton has an extraordinary breadth of experience helping writers and speakers - particularly women - be heard. In this conversation she explores the mindset and the tactics that lead to success on stage and on the page, including some genius tips for leveraging your book as a speaker and for promoting it more widely.  Grab a notepad and listen up.

Even in 2019, corporate event planners are defaulting to mainly male agendas and aren’t sure where to find qualified, dynamic female speakers for their events. Well, there are thousands of us and Innovation Women is one place to find a listing of professional female speakers. Public speaking is a key factor in advancing your business and your career, but fewer women get asked to speak and more women turn down invitations. Women are often in the dark about how the professional speaking game works.  Connect with Bobbie and I on social media and let us know:  Why are men still dominating the professional speaking industry? What can we do to balance the gender gap?  Here’s a formal bio on Bobbie Carlton:  Bobbie Carlton, founder of Carlton PR & Marketing, Innovation Nights and Innovation Women, has been called Boston’s Innovation Den Mother and the Startup Fairy Godmother.

Have you ever been fired up after seeing someone speak, say at a conference or event? That’s the power of saying something well. In the centuries-old tale Arabian Nights, storyteller Scheherazade avoids execution at the hands of her psycho husband, the king, by spinning engaging tales that end in cliffhangers, thereby enrapturing the king and securing her safety night after night. Talk about an empowered lady! But you don’t have to be Scheherazade or even a TED Talk speaker to impress. The power of storytelling can come in simpler forms. For instance, the next time you’re out with some colleagues, tell a story from your childhood, explain how you landed your job or even how you ended up with that salacious tattoo. They’ll surely be hooked by your storytelling prowess! The post Bobbie Carlton: Improve Your Public-speaking Game appeared first on On The Dot Woman.
