Today’s guest has a soft spot for the under-served and under-represented in the high-tech community.

Founder of Carlton PR and Marketing, Innovation Nights, and Innovation Women, she has been called Boston’s Innovation Den Mother and the Startup Fairy Godmother. She has helped more than 1,400 new products launch and has connected more than 1,000 women to speaking engagements.

A speaker herself, she regularly presents on PR, social media, community building, product launches, public speaking, and women’s issues. Her work has been acknowledged by many institutions, including in 2017 when PR News called her a Gamechanger.

Please join me in welcoming Bobbie Carlton.  

In this episode we discuss:

• her thoughts on leadership: “I think leaders are actually community builders, focused on bringing people together to do more than they can on their own.”
• how she came into her current role and why she doesn’t see herself as a leader.
• her views on being known for something in order to help your business grow.
• the need she saw, how she set up crowdfunding, and how that helped her grow.
• how she handles being an introvert who is social and see the value in engaging people.
• her unique way of connecting people, above and beyond most.
