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.

If you struggle with getting a regular workout in, you are not alone! It can be tough to stay consistent with our movement routine. Sometimes we might create this amazing workout plan and we’ve got the best of intentions, but then life happens and we skip a day. Then the next day we get busy again and think “Well, I skipped yesterday so I’ve already failed. I’ll just start over Monday.” This is where most of us go wrong. We think it’s all or nothing, but that’s not the way we should be building this routine that is SO good for our health. So let’s talk about four must-haves when it comes to building a movement routine so you can exercise regularly - even when life gets busy! ;) Let's get to it! Renae . . .

142 | How to Eliminate the To-Do List and Get Things Done without Overwhelm 35:09

6 weeks назад35:09

35:09

Are you a list person? I personally love lists. I love writing all my tasks down, organizing the data, creating spreadsheets…I enjoy working with all types of lists. And the satisfaction of checking those boxes when something is completed? *chef’s kiss* I created a “normal” running to-do list for years and sometimes it was very effective because I was feeling motivated and cruised right through, checking things off all day and feeling really productive. However, on the days I wasn’t feeling super motivated, that list was like a dark cloud. It was daunting and it only got longer the longer I stared at it because I would continue adding to it any time I would think of something that needed to be done. Even though I kept hoping for the motivation to get started on it, sometimes it just felt too overwhelming because I felt like I was never going to have enough time to get it all done. It was really disheartening and made me feel lazy and stressed. Over the years, I realized I could shift things and do it differently. I hated feeling that way, so I found a different solution. I found a way to basically eliminate my generic to-do list and create a system to actually get things done, without having to wait for the motivation to tackle a big list of to-dos. Even my list-loving self loves this method of getting rid of the to-do list and I want to share it with you in case you are in the same boat! You don’t have to feel like you’re failing to keep up on all the things that need to be done - you might just need a better system to organize those tasks. Grab a paper and pen and let's get to it!
