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.

If world basic basics is a personal thing, world-class consistency is something others can value.

I’ve been thinking about the difference between basics and constancy, I think the former is something to focus on as an individual and the latter something that others observe more so.

Can you do one without the other?

Which comes first?

160: Invisible super-powered movements 9:00

hace 3 years9:00

9:00

There is one movement in rowing that’s super powerful, it’s easy to see, but few would know how much power it’s generating, it’s in the body swing. I’ve always thought that the power of a rowing stroke comes from linking the core muscles to everything else. Remembering that you push before you pull, what connects those two movements is the invisible core muscles, they are activated during the body swing. The core muscles take time to train and develop because you can’t see them, they lay deep inside our core.

158: Hydrow rowing machine made me simile 5:26

hace 3 years5:26

5:26

I always preferred rowing with a crew. Here’s the thing when I was rowing at Auriol Kensington Rowing Club I learnt that crew boats were my thing and I enjoyed a quad more than anything, a quad is 4 scullers . You can learn to row on a rowing machine or in a single scull but I think the most fun is to be had when you row with other people. So here’s the thing about the Hydrow rowing machine that I think few have mentioned, but I will, when you row on a Hydrow rowing machine your rowing with someone and because of that it’s simply more fun. And if it’s more fun there is a strong chance that you’ll stick at it longer, which means you’ll get fitter….. Knowing this made me smile.

157: Float like a butterfly..... world-class basics 8:54

hace 3 years8:54

8:54

I think and what I have learnt over the years is what people say and what people do can often be very very different. When it comes to high performance, goal setting or just doing something better than others, sometimes you don’t want to share how you’re doing it or you might not realise just how good you are. Are you curious enough about your performance? So here’s the thing, I’ve been thinking about world-class basics, how do people live to deliver them, and what type of people optimise them. Knowing that you have a talent comes through allowing others to see it, you have to share it, even the slightest hint that you think you might have a talent. Once you have shared your talent perhaps with someone you trust, you’d do best to try and understand how you make it simple, simple enough to you, understand the parts, train all the parts, be curious how to maximise the parts. Do the smallest parts, the basics to a world-class standard. I was listening to a recording of Muhammad Ali this week when he shared his most memorable quote “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”. What he said at that moment made what he did in the ring invisible to his opponents. He carried out world-class basics.

156: My frosts congeal the rivers in their flow 5:33

hace 3 years5:33

5:33

I've got that winter feeling, a January feeling, one that's very familiar. For a few years, I spent some time at Quintin Boat Club on the Thames by Chiswick bridge. The club had an open fire, we would recover after a session by it. This poem that I heard today reminded me of the feelings of January. January by Henry Wadsworth Janus am I; oldest of potentates; Forward I look, and backward, and below I count, as god of avenues and gates, The years that through my portals come and go. I block the roads, and drift the fields with snow; I chase the wild-fowl from the frozen fen; My frosts congeal the rivers in their flow, My fires light up the hearths and hearts of men. This poem is in the public domain. Here’s today’s podcast and my reading of the poem. https://www.getfittorow.com/get-fit-to-row-podcast/156-my-frosts-congeal-the-rivers-in-their-flow What about your fitness and rowing , are you ready to get started? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/get-fit-to-row/message…

155: Power, and hand speed 11:32

hace 3 years11:32

11:32

Do you go faster because you slide faster, or is it the hand speed, or is it more a leg thing… Eric Murray knows 💪 I listened and watched a series of coached sessions with Eric Murray, a multi times winning Olympian. When you listen closely to world-class athletes, leaders, entrepreneurs and business people it’s often what they don’t say or share that you need to listen out for. Eric talks about smooth hand speed around the turn at the front and back of the stroke, which is interesting to hear. He also talks about “gradually” pushing more power out during the leg drive throughout the session, so as you get more into the session and weaker you focus on pushing more out or you, seems counter-intuitive, but the more you focus the more YOU CAN push more. Give it a try.

You can’t get to greatness without some help. Fact. You’ll need to believe in a coach, a coach who believes in you, a coach that has your goals and performance in mind.

150: Catch 22 3:53

hace 3 years3:53

3:53

Yes, it’s the start of 2022, and the start of the rowing stroke is called the catch so it seems rather fitting to be writing and sharing today’s podcast called "{catch 22}. Get the catch right and the rest can be worked on. But here’s the other catch 22, if you’re not fit, and you don’t think you have time to get fit, you’ll never get fit. But if you make time to get fit you will. Your health is an investment, time is something you can give yourself at no cost at all, and the return in value and quality of life is huge. So if you change how you manage your time, and pay that time to you to get fit and healthy, given time you will. I always think the hardest thing to do when you’re considering better health and fitness is getting started, the small thing, the small change. I think doing small is easier than doing big.
