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.

Welcome to another illuminating episode of "The Upgrade" with Dexter and Dr. Tanya, where we tackle personal development issues often overlooked in the seductive rush to upgrade material possessions. In this episode, we delve deep into the universal yet challenging issue of "people-pleasing", a puzzle that approximately 49% of adults grapple with, according to a recent 2022 YouGov poll. Our goal? To light up the warning signs of people-pleasing and its potential implications, equipping you to break free from its self-imposed limitations. Our spirited discussion revolves around our free e-book "10 Signs You Are a People-Pleaser". We explore signifiers of this draining behaviour pattern, such as the difficulty in saying "no", a prime culprit leading to burnout. The journey to transformation begins with understanding, and by comprehending why you resort to people-pleasing, we aim to guide you in dismantling these barriers to personal growth and advancement. Let us demystify people-pleasing for you - a pervasive issue that surreptitiously hampers personal and professional growth. Join us as we delineate the hazards of people-pleasing, laying emphasis on the pressing need to establish healthy boundaries. Drawing from our personal experiences, we stress that people-pleasing isn't an alien concept; rather, overindulgence in making others happy at the stake of one's wellbeing has damaging outcomes. Marking the cornerstone of our conversation, we as "recovering" people-pleasers, lay bare strategies to identify and tackle people-pleasing tendencies. Learn how personal development, self-awareness and a healthy dose of mindfulness can aid in combating this behaviour. Discover the importance of focusing on your needs and standing strong with a firm 'no' when required. In highlighting certain behaviours such as needless apologies, we help you understand how this undermines your self-worth and credibility. Awareness and a proper understanding of these patterns hold the key to improving personal, professional, and social interactions. In a nutshell, this episode aims to guide you on your self-improvement journey, promoting healthy boundaries, enhancing self-worth, and helping you break free from the chains of people-pleasing. ***Want to grow personally and professionally in our inner circle?
