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.

Living in the Now for Lasting Happiness 21:54

Send me a text! Be part of the show! Reflecting on my 42nd birthday, I was struck by the transformative power of gratitude and the beauty of life's journey. Spending this milestone with my parents in North Carolina for the first time in over two decades was a poignant reminder to cherish the present moment. Through this experience, I've gathered five life lessons that have nurtured my mindset, fostering a genuine sense of peace and happiness. Together, we'll explore how understanding our mind's processing of information can shape our reality and lay the groundwork for a truly fulfilled life. Rejection can feel like a personal failure, but it's time to flip the script. When I didn't make the basketball team, I learned the profound impact of viewing rejection as neutral, rather than a reflection of self-worth. Letting go of stuck beliefs, like the need for external validation, opens the door to immediate happiness. Happiness isn't waiting for the perfect conditions—it can be embraced right here, right now, leading to a calmer and more content state of mind. Shifting gears to a mindset of self-affirmation and intentional thinking has been a game-changer. Society's negativity often seeps into our self-talk, but we can break free by celebrating our achievements and vocalizing our desires. It's about moving from reactive thinking to intentional action—asking what can be done now rather than dwelling on the "why." This approach empowers us to thrive in the moment, separating personal identity from career achievements, and practicing self-love. Stay tuned for exciting future episodes featuring guest appearances that promise to keep our conversations fresh and engaging. Support the show…
