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.

In this episode I share the idea of a book being written about the business you work in. That book started on the first day of the business - and continues to be written every single day. It's therefore an idea to consider what your current chapter of the book is about. What's your contribution to this big book of the business? Is this chapter a horror, or drama, or action packed adventure?

In today's cast and post I'm introducing a model of leisure time from the 1920's! I'll introduce the Netflix challenge (a dysfunctional game being played at a workplace) and explain how I draw connections to work from what is a sociology lifestyle model.

I am in Zurich, capturing the sounds of the city - and also sharing 3 helpful ways to frame any conversation about value. We often need executive buy-in, support or air cover for our work, but many people fail to communicate these ideas effectively. Well, here's an idea worth playing with - frame your requests in language that resonates and a frame that makes sense. I share the 3 elements of the frame as well as some cracking audio of Cathedral bells, rivers and more from Zurich.

The 8 Different Types of Intelligence 9:18

год назад9:18

9:18

Hi, I hope you are doing well. Welcome to another Here’s An Idea Worth Playing With (HAIWPW). The weekly audio show about ideas that I think are worth playing with. I recorded this at lunch today, after recording a video about park benches (yes, you read that right). I was at Avington Park , a wonderful estate just outside of Winchester. It was cold. There were some menacing looking bulls. The swans were circling. Some bird watchers were hanging around. And I was musing about the 8 different types of intelligence and playing with the idea that our workplaces may benefit from appreciating, amplifying and accelerating the diversity of intelligence. This list is from this source . The 8: Spatial intelligence - Abstract and dimensional thinking Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence - Understanding our body Musical intelligence - Sensitivity to rhythm, etc Linguistic/Language intelligence - flow, correct words, melody, tone Logical-mathematical intelligence - The ability to analyze problems logically (the classical idea of intelligence) Interpersonal intelligence - The ability to interact effectively with others Intrapersonal intelligence - Sensitivity to one’s own feelings, goals, capabilities and values Naturalistic intelligence - The ability to understand nature I mention: The communication workshop (we cover a couple of these 8 in this course). The Trinity of Career Development The 10 Behaviours of Effective Employees That’s been an idea worth playing with. Have a fab week. Rob..…
