In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

SELF - CARE for the busy SINGLE MOM - Part 1 EP17 13:18

2 years тому13:18

Greetings to my queens, single moms. As single moms, taking care of yourself can be extremely challenging. Moms juggle multiple responsibilities, including your most important role, raising your children, followed by managing your household tasks, working and simply living your life. It is very, very easy to neglect your own needs and well-being in the midst all of you need to accomplished. However, prioritizing self-care is CRITICAL for your mental and physical health, as well as your ability to be effective and present for your children. With all this in mind. I developed this important episode series on self-care. Keep this in mind, taking care of yourself IS NOT selfish, but essential for your OVERALL well-being and for your ability to be the best mother you can be. Thank you for listening to another episode of X.S.M. (X and the Single Mom) podcast. Check out our website: http://www.xandthesinglemom.com Warm regards. Y S Thomas Host/Producer…
