**About The Guest(s)**

Dawn Westmoreland is an HR consultant, speaker, life coach, podcaster, and author. She is passionate about empowering the workforce to be more productive and engaged. Dawn has a background in HR and is a retired Air Force veteran with 20 years of service. She became a whistleblower after speaking up about illegal hiring practices in a federal agency and experienced retaliation as a result. This led her to settle with the agency and refuse to sign a nondisclosure agreement so she could help others create safe and respectful work environments.

**Summary**

Dawn Westmoreland shares her journey of becoming a whistleblower and the challenges she faced as a result. She emphasizes the importance of creating safe and respectful work environments and offers advice for job seekers and leaders. Dawn highlights the need for research and observation when considering a job, as well as the importance of addressing workplace issues immediately. She also discusses the role of documentation and training in mitigating the risk of bullying and discrimination. Dawn encourages leaders to walk the talk and seek outside consultants when necessary.

**Key Takeaways**

Research and observe the workplace culture before accepting a job to ensure a safe and respectful environment.
