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.

LIES Millennial Women Were Fed (with Alex Clark) 35:28

In this episode, Suzanne talks with Alex Clark of Turning Point USA about, among other things, why it’s more important than ever to raise children who do not toe the cultural line but who instead march to their own drum— whether we’re talking about health and wellness (which is Alex’s passion) or careers, or debt and lifestyle, or Suzanne’s fav: marriage and family. Alex is the host of the formerly titled podcast The Spillover which has since been rebranded as Culture Apothecary. Alex has made it her mission to take on Big Pharma to make America healthy again. The video interview is on youtube: https://youtu.be/ssP6bL37-rY…

Ep. 198: You don’t need to have a big life to have a valuable life 15:12

15:12

Why should women (or men, for that matter) feel obligated to "change the world" when everyday life can be just as much, if not more, fulfilling? What if staying focused on life in your own backyard brings more joy and satisfaction than trying to "disrupt the status quo"? In this episode, Suzanne explains why women shouldn't feel pressure to live a big life when a smaller one is just as noble and gratifying. https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/advice/podcast-962-the-case-for-minding-your-own-business/ https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/15/opinion/cultural-revolution-meritocracy.html…

Ep. 195: Is more relationship experience really better? 19:00

1 year тому19:00

19:00

Don’t marry the first person you fall in love with. The more relationship experience you have before getting married, the better. That way you'll really “know” yourself when you say, ‘I do.’ For decades this has been the relationship narrative passed on to the young and unattached. But my experience as a relationship coach suggests the opposite is true. So does the data. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ6WXvBvwWE https://themattwalshblog.wordpress.com/2013/09/05/heres-some-honest-dating-advice/comment-page-1/…
