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.

Thanks for supporting The Yzzi Research Podcast! Season four was the final season of the podcast and I hope that you enjoyed listening. This podcast was produced by my production company, Whisper and Mutter. I am also producing and releasing another podcast unrelated to UX research, but you may like it if you’re interested in reading, thinking, the human experience, and fresh perspectives on a book you’ve likely heard of. Stay subscribed to The Yzzi Research Podcast and I’ll share the trailer for this upcoming podcast. It’ll be a while, think like one or two years, but you’ll hear it first. Thank you again for all your support, messages, reviews, and feedback over the past few years. I appreciate you!…
