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.

I’ve done my best to eat my feelings after many nights and days pizza that heals chicken that consoles and Oreos for better ways than the ones I’ve been on this week this month this year chips and salsa tacos and burritos are all I need to allay fear junk food healthy food and everything in between I’ve kept up with this habit ever since I was a teen Captain Crunch at the end of the day before I went to bed whatever it took to dodge the feelings going on inside my head I’ve done my best to outrun my feelings literally in every way using exercise as a coping mechanism cause I don’t want deal with a bad day I’ve tried to walk jog run till I was out of breath and tired sweat pouring down my brow but somehow emotionally wired on the road in the water lifting weights but I can’t lift this the physical distraction for emotional attraction is a guaranteed method to miss to the point where I have nowhere left to turn there’s no extinguisher for these flames perpetually they will burn So I’ve done my best to numb my feelings honestly I just don’t want to feel I don’t want to walk through the pain I don’t want to move on and heal so bad habits take the place of letting feelings have a voice I silence them habitually bad choice after bad choice after bad choice until I am a stage with a tragedy played defeat and discouragement desperately displayed no progress I don’t know myself there’s no healing I just can’t I just can’t right now I can’t bear the weight bound up in this feeling Pushed to feeling my feelings I can do nothing more the limits are overflowing and I’ve stuffed all I can store that I can’t deny I am afraid the synapses and chemicals are full right here the future and what is coming next yield unprecedented volumes of fear but I’m not supposed to be afraid I’m not supposed play that game so in addition to unsettling fear I am suffocating by all the shame and it is stifling it is no wonder why I want to eat and run and get numb it is no wonder why I want to suffocate my emotions because they only ever make me feel so dumb two steps forward and two steps back no progress can be made sun beating down a long road ahead with no oasis no shade how do I do this? how do I move? how do I calm this storm in my chest? how do I give voice to these feelings inside? how do I sit down in peace and rest?

Crazy in My Sails 3:37

We’ve been holding back and it’s not because we’ve been held every advantage is at our disposal unlimited power impelled to the point where I really have to ask - what is stopping me? what is impeding the momentum of the Spirit? what’s the deal? can I just let Him be? because I’ve read the stories and I know the tales the evidence is more than sufficient to gust a hurricane of wind in my sails Think about the paralytic that had four friends whose limbs were restored plus forgiveness of sins or the woman who crashed the dinner party just to revere the One Who saved her and drew her near or the widow whose dead son saw funeral reversed resurrection in a coffin blessed and not cursed or the overlooked tax collector playing host to God’s Son joyfully repenting all cheating undone or the fisherman chucking himself overboard at the sight of the campfire fish with the Lord or seven miles in the dark just to say He is living He came back from the dead with Grace and forgiving and it makes me want to talk about it more and more at church yeah but at work at the store everywhere I go it doesn’t matter who’s around I could be at home or way out of town reception could be good reception could be bad it could be welcome or it could make everyone mad but the point is He’s worth it He’s worth everything His Good News is the bell to let ring I’ve been holding back and I’m done asking why provoked by Greatness let’s let it fly with reckless abandon regardless of outcome say I’m stupid say I’m foolish say I’m silly say I’m dumb I don’t matter and honestly I never did maybe that’s what it means to receive it like a kid maybe that’s what it means to receive the stories and the tales let this hurricane blow up like crazy in my sails…

https://bringbackthepoetry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/connection-episode.mp3 Connection by Jason Tomlinson Young me loves present me and future me does too the first one sends hope the second sends perseverance to get through I send young me honor because I know he turns out ok I send future me gratitude – the source of my strength every day There was a time I sent younger me shame a time I pinned on him guilt and blame but I recognize now the folly of such a course young me frequently unplugged from the source and shame on top of indiscretion is a deadly combination so I chose to learn instead and that yields emancipation Also my relationship concerning future me was once a source of worry and much anxiety what’s he gonna be like is he gonna be alright? is he gonna be able to leave the darkness and instead walk in the light? but that’s just as useless as anything this I can surely say that gratitude is my gift to future me the gift that bridges the day Connection with what was what is and what will be wholeness and health – this is the key…

Clark Flatt and Jason Tomlinson https://bringbackthepoetry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/truth-that-saves-lives.m4a Truth That Saves Lives (a tribute to Clark Flatt and The Jason Foundation) by Jason Tomlinson Friends reveal themselves when they push us to do the impossible when they stretch with us to find logic in the illogical empowered we then become defenders for the defenseless and we are able to make sense of what otherwise seems senseless our eyes are opened to truths once unseen we see the signs with senses sharp and keen where once we would have had fear and reasons to doubt it we now have courage and knowledge in order to do something about it his friends did this for him now he does it for all tirelessly working toward the goal following the call he diversifies his methods to get the message out many avenues are included for all contain a possible route from football coaches to legislators and country artists to educators so many are interested in helping him succeed because it is not just him but everyone indeed who benefits from the truth he is constantly speaking the truth that the needy need us all to be seeking the truth! oh how I pray that it always survives this truth in our minds is truth that saves lives…

Monica Darbyshire https://bringbackthepoetry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/making-a-difference.m4a Making a Difference (a tribute to Monica Darbyshire) by Jason Tomlinson Hero work is rarely portrayed on comic book pages on little screens big screens or video game stages but out on city streets taking calls every night facing death fully and putting up a fight on behalf of those in the most desperate situations where tragedy has interrupted their immediate destinations but Destiny makes a move to intervene and there she is right at the scene the injured couldn’t ask for a better one than my friend who will pull every stop to get it done two books two rules and one philosophy if I was hurt I can’t imagine anyone I’d rather see than this awesome sister with a golden soul making a difference is her goal so if a life can be saved then she absolutely will use her knowledge strength experience and skill to get that person to a place of rest for healing and wholeness saved by the best but if a life is finished and the end draws nigh she will guide that soul to the edge of goodbye giving them exactly what they need dignity honor a life saver indeed I thank God for her and her example worth emulating I thank Him for such an amazing person – one we all could be imitating…

Chuck Swann and Jason Tomlinson https://bringbackthepoetry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/podcast-theme.m4a The Heart of Heroism (a tribute to Chuck Swann) by Jason Tomlinson The heart of heroism is filled with servanthood the guy who places others first is the greatest agent for good that is where his strength is found that is how he moves his humble posture is recognized every time he proves how much he loves people by meeting their needs from the least to the greatest he consistently doles out deeds that give the world hope in collective realization that heroes still exist right here in our nation I don’t know how else I can describe such humility let us aspire to such levels of honor indeed may we all be as selfless as him putting others first doing what is needed in a moment’s burst whether it’s hand holding while exhaling final breath or storming the gates courageously rescuing from death or reminding someone all on our own that even in desperate shame they are never alone let us be like that let us be like him not a phase not a fad nor a passing whim but a permanent fixture on the landscape of the city whether times are ugly or whether times are pretty make us servants bound by He Who is the Light forsaking ourselves loving others ever endeavoring to do what’s right Chuck Swann…

Michelle and David Nimmo https://bringbackthepoetry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/the-point-of-no-return.m4a The Point of No Return (for David and Michelle Nimmo) by Jason Tomlinson All couples face the point of no return the point where destiny is clear and in a moment you learn that your life is over and your life has begun she is his he is hers and soon the two shall be one some couples arrive early while others arrive late and sometimes this point can be realized as early as the first date if you believe in coincidence then this story is a buffet but if you believe in the Will of the Divine then believe me when I say that no man could have orchestrated the events that lead up to this it was God alone who can be credited for such romantic bliss because it was a date that wasn’t a date but really it was she didn’t intend he didn’t intend they were kayaking just because they thought it would be a pleasant occasion but in fact they both fell to a greater persuasion two hours became a day and a day became much more the point of no return they were changed at the core their minds heard their hearts and there would be no denying that the love between the two of them existed without even trying that’s what you call effortless such a blessing shared when his love for her grew so big that it had to be shared and its return while significant came as no surprise since it had already bloomed fully in both their eyes never to fade never to die never to depart they’d passed the point of no return united in love they share one heart…
