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.

Finding Your College Fit: Part 1 on Self-Reflection 8:53

לפני יומיים8:53

8:53

Finding the right college fit begins with understanding yourself, not scrolling through endless rankings. Before you can discover where you belong, you need to know who you are and who you want to become. Today, I break down the essential questions high school students (9th-11th graders) should ask themselves before even thinking about the college application. Why do you want to go to college? What adjectives describe you now? What experiences and opportunities are you looking for? These foundational questions aren't just philosophical exercises—they're practical tools that will guide your entire search process. Beyond the practical benefits of college (like graduates earning approximately $1 million more over their lifetime than those with only high school diplomas), the college experience offers transformative opportunities. Whether you're seeking leadership roles you didn't have in high school, research experiences that spark your curiosity, or clubs that align with your passions, knowing what you want helps narrow your search to institutions that truly fit. This episode kicks off a series on college searching, with future installments covering academic considerations, location factors, and admissions criteria.
