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.

Are phone calls still a thing? YES! And you can get better at them.
In the past few years I've decided that I want to get better at phone calls. Yes, I know people hate them. I deal with a lot of anxiety when I'm about to have a phone call! But I know that with practice and learning from others then I could be better.
In this episode I make several phone calls and ask 3 main questions:

What do people who are really good at talking on the phone do?
What NOT to do on a phone call?
Is it OK to cold call someone?

You'll be surprised by the answers! In addition, I give my advice to what to do on a phone call and how to make sure you're making the most of your time.
I hope you enjoy this episode!! If so - please share it around. And shoot me great episode topics that I could do in the future.
Love you!
