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 episode,Heather Hansenand 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.
