Robert Reid

Reid, principal of Butler Street, brings 13 years of staffing industry experience from business development to recruiting and key account management. Additionally, he is a highly successful improv theatre talent and creative content writer. His ability to add the “fun factor” into instructor-led training and e-learning has proven to increase retention of Butler Street’s highly successful methodologies, processes, and skills training. From 2007 to 2017, Reid utilized his theatre improv ability as a corporate trainer and performer for various theaters, including the famed Second City in Chicago, IL. He facilitated training sessions for companies and organizations looking for a unique approach to training on topics such as communication, collaboration, and innovation skills, as well as team building. He also performed both improv and sketch comedy for corporate entertainment offerings. Prior to his role as corporate trainer, Reid began his career with Randstad. During his 11-year tenure, he worked in business development and recruitment with a focus on office–administrative and light industrial roles in a retail setting. From there, he shifted focus to Randstad’s on-site and key account clients in both Jacksonville and Chicago, where he handled high-volume recruitment projects. A graduate of the University of Florida, Reid now lives in his hometown of Jacksonville, FL. He teaches and performs improv regularly, sings in a local band, and does his best to get out and surf every once in a while, when he’s not in front of the classroom.
