Tell me about today's show. Today's show we're going to be talking about the role of culture in your the job. Search a lot of companies talk about their culture and how they are employee centric in so many ways and I think this is great. The idea that that company executives and leaders are looking for ways to connect with their people and to make them feel better about working there. I think is important and I think it's critical for for employee engagement. which is something we talk a lot about in the corporate world these days especially in? HR circles as well as within leadership your ship because ultimately they have to keep people engaged right so they create these wonderful cultures. They're also usually pretty good about promoting what those values might might be. What brought this to mind though? And and as Andrew you and I were talking about this I've run into a few conversations recently to that talk about culture her especially from a perspective where when they get there they find out the culture is really just talk. They're not necessarily living the beliefs or values news that they say they have. They just put that up there to make you feel good about working there while that's a step in the right direction. They're seeing as the gap between what they say they value and what they seem to be doing in the workforce so what we want to talk about is how do you recognize that. How do you validate they live the values versus just the talk? And what do you do with the information that you find. Whenever I talked to folks about culture? Their eyes glaze over offer as a job seeker. They're like culture. What do you mean you've never really considered it until you've documented and what I found is that if you don't recognize what culture you you were in and what parts of it you liked and what you WanNa see replicated in your next job? It's hard for you to even know and that's the first step or the first challenge challenge that many of my coaching clients have the second step is to believe that they have a choice to pick that culture or not pick that coal right when the job offers on the table even before.
