Engage Learning and Laughter—Interview with Dave Mitchell

MJ Reiners helps leaders and organizations make change stick. After 20 years of leading large-scale transformation projects, the largest being $350 million with over 200 team members, MJ created the "Epi.FUN.Ny Factory" discovery model to help people change better faster and cheaper. Change is speeding up. Our future and our business success depend on how well we can adapt to new technologies, new business structures, new policies, and laws. The Epi.FUN.Ny Factory helps leaders and organizations identify insights and hopefully "epiphanies" to allow them to change easier with less stress and pain. This discovery model works with, instead of replace, existing change management methodologies that organizations may be already using.

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? 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.

This episode originally aired 6/30/2023. Have you ever noticed someone's 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 episode, Heather Hansen and I talk 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. Heather Hansen is the founder of Global Speech Academy. She helps top global leaders show up, speak up, and inspire action in a changing world. She is also the author of UNMUTED: How to show up, speak up and inspire action.
