"Every time we get on stage, we have the opportunity to tell our story and to really be seen for what we're doing and what we know." As PR director for several enterprise software companies, part of Bobbie Carlton's job is getting executives on stage at conferences and events.

Today, Bobbie is the founder of Carlton PR & Marketing, Innovation Nights, and Innovation Women. She is an engaging speaker who passionately advocates for public speaking as a catalyst for career and business success. A TEDx speaker and startup event host, she has addressed audiences at the United Nations and major conferences worldwide. Tune in to hear Bobbie's take on the lack of women in executive roles, how her platform helps women entrepreneurs increase visibility and credibility, and the criteria it takes to be considered for Innovation Women.

 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

Did you know that 70% of conference speakers are men? A lot of this comes down to women having decisions made for them and not having as many opportunities presented to them out of assumption that they won't be able to commit due to other obligations....Studies show that people who aren't comfortable speaking publicly make less money. If you're seen sharing your expertise, you're worth more both internally and externally.

Bobbie Carlton has graciously offered Resiliency Ninja listeners a 25% discount on their annual membership to Innovation Women. www.innovationwomen.com Use the code NINJA  On the heels of International Women’s Day, Bobbie Carlton and I talk about the gender gap in the professional speaking industry. 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.

In this week’s episode of the CT Startup Podcast, we speak with Bruce Carlson of the Connecticut Technology Council (CTC), covering topics such as Connecticut’s venture capital ecosystem and the upcoming Innovation Nights event put on by the CTC. The CTC’s describes itself as “...a statewide association of technology oriented companies and institutions, providing leadership in areas of policy advocacy, community building and assistance for growing companies.” The CTC claims to represent over 2,000 companies employing more than 200,000 individuals in its pursuit to create a culture of innovation right here in Connecticut. Our guest on the podcast, Bruce Carlson, is President and CEO of the CTC, and prior to working there, Bruce served as president of the IP Factory, as well as a ten-year stint as chief of staff at the UCONN Health Center. He brings a lot of insight into what is happening in the Connecticut startup ecosystem, as well as what still needs to be done for the state to compete with places like New York City and Boston. We also discuss the upcoming Innovation Summit on November 17th, Connecticut’s largest networking event for Launch, Growth and Proven companies. The Innovation Summit features workshops, Lunch with an Angel, Company Showcase, and is perfect for entrepreneurs, businesses, venture capitalists, angel investors, and members of the public. Tune in for this enlightening conversation from one of the people best positioned to talk about Connecticut’s startup culture.

Innovation Women is an online speakers bureau for entrepreneurial and technical women that help women get visibility for themselves, their careers and companies. We help event managers gender-balance the speakers at their conferences, trade shows and events. Founder Bobbie Carlton will discuss the importance of elevating the voice of women in innovation and business. Bobbie will also discuss Innovation Nights, which started just outside of Boston as Mass Innovation Nights (“MIN” -- supporting Massachusetts companies), and has launched more than 650 new products; she will share that every month 10 companies launch new products at a local event and the social media community comes out to support their local entrepreneurs and more! Please join Renee, Wanda, and Lea as we put Bobbie in the Innovaiton hotseat!
