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.

When the very people you trusted the most were the ones who betrayed you, who can you trust? Join me, Beverley Glazer, as I talk with the resilient Kerri Lewis, a Grief Practitioner, Author and founder of Second Act Mastery. Kerri shares her profound journey from a tumultuous childhood and many betrayals to a path of empowerment and love. Growing up in a household overshadowed by conflict, Kerri learned to make herself invisible to dodge her parents' unhappiness. Her story takes a dramatic turn when, at 19, she marries to escape her troubled past, only to confront the grim reality of her husband's alcohol addiction. With remarkable courage, Kerri ultimately chose her own well-being over a toxic relationship, making the heart-wrenching decision to cut ties with her parents after uncovering that she was involved in her father's deceitful financial actions. Kerri's second husband betrayed her completely when she discovered a suitcase of papers, revealing that his true identity, was not the person she had married and was living with for five years. Her story is not only about overcoming adversity but also about the unexpected twists life can throw our way. In a heart-rending twist of fate, she finally found true love through a serendipitous reconnection on a social networking site. This once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a childhood friend blossomed into a loving marriage and a move back to California. Yet, just as happiness seemed within reach, Kerri faced the devastating loss of her husband to a sudden heart attack. Through her tale of rediscovered love and heartache, Kerri shares profound lessons in resilience and the unpredictable nature of life. Her journey will inspire you to face life's challenges with renewed purpose and determination, teaching us all about the strength found in vulnerability. Have you enjoyed this episode?
