When you think of Veterans, do you think of heroes? Do you think of people who voluntarily agreed to defend you, your livelihood, and champion your way of life? Have you ever thought about being a champion for Veterans—both in the not-military workforce and in not-military life?

In today’s Engaged Company Culture podcast episode, Lt. Colonel (Ret.) Kathy Gallowitz and I talk about how being a Veteran Champion and engaging Veterans in the workforce helps organizations become strong, remain strong, and seize amazing skills, strengths, and employees.

Retired Lt. Colonel Kathy Gallowitz grew up as a Navy "brat" who then served nearly 30 years as an Air Force Officer. She also is an Army spouse.

Kathy is the Founder & CEO of Vanguard Veteran, LLC, author of _Beyond "Thank You For your Service," The Veteran Champion Handbook for Civilians_, and has masters degrees in both Nursing and Political Science.

As an award-winning businesswoman with first-hand experience hiring Veterans, Kathy coaches employers how to excel with hiring and retaining Veteran talent in ways that strengthens their workforce. Her “Veteran Talent Academy” equips employers to find, hire, and leverage Veterans’ skillsets.

Kathy also equips volunteer faith community leaders to build Military Ministries to cultivate mutual support, a sense of belonging and spiritual resiliency for military-connected people.

I have been enjoying a Korean series on Netflix recently: "King the Land." (I don't speak Korean, so I've used English subtitles.) In addition to some romance and some comedy, there is some GREAT illustration of company culture and leadership perspectives. Episode 11 gave a BRILLIANT juxtaposition of leading with your people in mind versus leading with your ego in mind. I loved the demonstration of it.

In working with organizations, I have seen how different leadership styles can affect the company culture, the employee engagement, and the employee morale.

I talk about company culture on my podcast Engaged Company Culture. If you are a business leader (not a consultant, coach, or service provider) interested in discussing company culture with me, I invite you to be a guest on my podcast. We'll talk about your successes, your challenges, and your goals. You can give hope to other leaders who want to change their cultures. We'll exchange ideas, observations, experiences, and stories. Perhaps you and I will both have new insights from the conversation.

If you're interested, put "interested" in the comments. I welcome other comments, too. Are there other shows you like that show life AND company culture?

Have you ever noticed someone speaking accent? Did you realize that you have unconscious bias around people's accents, especially when they're speaking a non-native language? How have you felt when people have told you your accent is "adorable" or "funny" or "difficult to understand?"

In this week's Engaged Company Culture podcast episode, I talk with Heather Hansen, founder of Global Speech Academy and author of _UNMUTED: How to show up, speak up and inspire action_, about how linguistic biases, even unconscious biases, can affect our hiring practices, our perceptions of our co-workers, and even how we speak up—or don't speak up—at work.

Additionally, we talk about how to become an "unmuted" organization allowing people to express themselves with Confidence, Competence, and Connection.
