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.

This week on The Nick Halaris Show we are featuring civic leader, Leonora Camner. Leonora is the Executive Director of ClimateSafe Villages, an innovative non-profit focused on helping communities build resilience, and the former Executive Director of Abundant Housing LA. As a civic activist with an impressive track record of success, she’s fast becoming one of the most important voices for those looking to make the world a better place.

When I reached out to Leonora to invite her to the show, I thought we’d have an important conversation all about housing but as we got into the episode so many fascinating topics kept coming up that we barely covered housing. Animated by her experiences pushing for much-needed housing policy reforms, Leonora has become a passionate advocate for a whole suite of big ideas including leveraging the power of community to deal with all the potential consequences of climate change and pushing for innovative reforms to democratic processes. In this fascinating episode, we cover:

Why waking up to the true dangers of climate change is something we should be doing right now
What resilience looks like in the context of urban living in the age of climate disaster
Why politicians are so reluctant to talk to voters about the whole truth
Why Leonora came to believe that our big policy failures are a function of broken democratic processes
Why citizens’ assemblies might be the answer to our intractable political problems

Stay tuned to the end to hear how being a mother infused even more meaning into her already purpose-driven existence.

As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode. Thanks for tuning in!
