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.

hace 2 years53:25

53:25

On this solo episode I converse about, What's the Shadow? is where suppress painful information, is like a Hard drive of our psyche. Unwanted Fragments or for the better word "Inferior" aspects of who we believe or think that what we can't become. The root where the pain started, where we first felt rejection, anger, abandonment, shame, embarrassment, guilt, unworthiness, neglect or had to face a loss of a love one. I share how human beings have been holding on to their shadows and where we wish others not to see. I bring to light of how we can begin our conscious awareness of our shadows. We accept and integrate it with love and be your healer of your wounds that were caused by external suffering. We can start to see how the mind, our Ego wants to hold on to dysfunctional behavior because sometimes it's all we've ever known. Accepting our humanness is difficult. I must admit Inner healing work, this shits is uncomfortable. Warriors this Episode is for You! Namaste Support the show #KAD https://linktr.ee/karlaafterdark…
