33:58

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.

2/2/2025-Living Your Life With No Regrets: Your Spiritual Bucket LIst 7:24

hace 28 días7:24

7:24

Fr. Edward Looney reflects on the idea of a "bucket list" and how it connects to Simeon’s profound prayer in the Gospel: “Lord, now you let your servant go in peace.” Simeon could die happy because he had fulfilled God's purpose for his life. How can we live in such a way that we, too, are ready to say those words with confidence? Fr. Looney explores how priests, deacons, religious, and laypeople pray this every night and challenges us to consider how we are living out God's plan. Tune in for an inspiring message on preparing our hearts to meet the Lord with peace and joy.…
