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.

Transitioning from K12 teaching to corporate instructional design can feel overwhelming. You have some of the skills that an instructional designer may use, but there's still a lot to learn (and framing your previous experience in the right way can be a challenge).
However, people like Sara Stevick have made it their mission to offer support and guidance to those who are making the transition. Sara Stevick leads a free volunteer initiative called Teaching: A Path to L&D, and it's dedicated to helping teachers break into the instructional design space.
She has also made the transition herself...landing a corporate ID job at a major financial institution after teaching for years.
In this live session recording, we discuss:
-The path you should take to land an ID job
-The biggest corporate ID skill gaps faced by teachers
-How to evaluate paid programs
-How to stay confident and present your experience in the best light
