The Climate Resilience Show

33:58

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.

Episode 59: Dr Michael Shakhib and Kwame Salam 26:36

49 weeks тому26:36

This is the 59th Climate Resilience podcast and my name is Jim Bowen. Welcome wherever you are. If you've listened to earlier shows you'll see things are a bit different now. For the first thing, we've got a backing track, but more important than that I've no longer got a show on Cardigan Internet Radio because it has shut down. Bobby, who set it up in the first place hopes to reopen soon, but at the moment it is no more and that is a great shame. Local radio is so important being corporate free and its a free space to talk about stuff without pressure. Long live Cardigan Internet Radio! Anyway, I've now got a show that goes out once a month on Pure West Radio which is based in Haverfordwest. I am grateful for the chance to talk about climate breakdown at 9am on a Sunday, beamed straight into people's breakfast table which is not the usual sort of time of day to talk about such things, so that's ace, but Pure West is partly funded by Big Oul which limits what we can say live on the show. The podcast is a bit freer...and here we are. So on this podcast we talk about all sorts of things related to climate breakdown and what people are doing to combat it. We've tried to get a wide variety of guests who we hope you will find interesting. On the radio there is music too, but not on the podcast, so when we talk about a song coming up please hum along a bit to get the real feel for what the show was like when it went out live. This is show 59 and features interviews with Dr Michael Shakhib from the University of Wales's faculty of Engineering in Swansea, and Kwame Salam of the Tonic Surf Therapy which works out of the beaches of west Wales. Both are mates of mine and really good folk. If you like the show and would like to get in touch, the email address to write to is jim.clynfyw@gmail.com…
