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.

Send us a text Welcome to this episode of Just Havin a Crack. With a quick single we bring up our 100th episode of the podcast. Today's guest was one of the most forthright Australian Captains, commentators and lovers of cricket to ever don the baggy green. Ian Chappell, was at the fore front of the evelution of Australian and world cricket. The link between the greats like Bradman, Benaud, Lawry, Border, Smith and Cummins. Ian was unbeknown to him st the time having the most significant conversation with Kerry Packer that world cricket had seen. Some may argue it paved the way for what modern cricket has become. Player, commentator and Australian Captain, Ian has always been frank in his analysis of the game he holds so dearly. That can be interpreted in so many different ways. This podcast is unedited in regards to this whole conversation flowing from start to finish and sequences true to the recording. We finished this podcast with the view that Chappelli is one of the deepest thinking selfless people and as he keeps on harping. "You onlu have to look at history. That will tell you" Follow us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/toombuldistrictcricketclub Instagram https://www.instagram.com/toombuldcc…
