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.

NLP Episode 66: The Future of LA and Canadian Basketball/NBA Second Round 30:00

8年之前30:00

30:00

Many believe that the worst position as a franchise in the NBA is to be a fringe contender. You're not good enough to realistically challenge for a championship, but never have a shot at getting lottery talent from skating into the playoffs every year just to leave your fanbase disappointed. The Toronto Raptors in the East, and the LA Clippers in the West, are both arguably in this position. However, both franchises have accomplished more in the last few years than in their entire history. So the question is... is it time for each team to blow it up? Also, the NBA second round, despite their blowouts.still has some intriguing matchups. Who will win the battle of Texas? And is the funeral series a budding rivalry?…

NLP Podcast Episode 65: Can the Wizards win the East? 30:00

8年之前30:00

30:00

The story of the NBA playoffs first round is most commonly breakout performances by the could-be future of the league, and the 2017 first round has certainly not lacked such standouts. John Wall has led the Wizards, the Greek Freak has led the Bucks, and we haven't even discussed the two-man MVP race going head to head out West in Russell Westbrook and James Harden. Who has been the most impressive thus far in the first round? There has also been a very surprising development out in the East as the first seed Celtic find themselves trailing to the largely disappointing Chicago Bulls. Can the Bulls complete the upset, and what does that mean for the East as a whole?…

NLP Podcast Episode 64: Could Steph Curry win MVP?/Playoff Preview 30:00

8年之前30:00

30:00

You read the title, and think we are crazy, don't you? Well, it's a bit of click-bait (everyone else is doing it, blame peer pressure!) We discuss the three man race for MVP between Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and (maybe?) Kawhi Leonard. Then, we decide how 2015-2016 Steph Curry would fare in this year's MVP conversation. From there, it's straight to the playoffs! Are there upsets on the agenda? Which series are we most excited for? Who will be the MVP of the first round? And of course, predictions!…

NLP Podcast Episode 63: Does the Kevin Durant injury open up the West? 30:00

8年之前30:00

30:00

The previous impenetrable force that was the Golden State Warriors suffered a big blow to what many believed was an inevitability, the 2016 NBA championship, when Kevin Durant suffered an MCL sprain that will leave him out possibly for the rest of the regular season. Of course, the news could have been much worse, so does this change the outcome of the Western Conference? How do the recent signings of Deron Williams and Andrew Bogut by the Cavaliers impact a potential Finals showdown against the Warriors? We also spent a week with newly acquired DeMarcus Cousins and the New Orleans Pelicans to see how the Boogie and Brow show looks long term.…

NLP Podcast Episode 62: Utah Jazz - Grit N' Grind 2.0?/All-Star Weekend Preview 30:00

30:00

The all- star weekend is upon us with many exciting storylines among them. The West locker room is certainly an interesting bunch, with the Warriors mingling with Russell Westbrook, and DeMarcus Cousins always liable to get T'd up. What part of all-star weekend are we looking forward to the most? Plus, we continued our journey around the NBA by stopping in Utah with the Jazz. Where exactly is this team heading in the thick of things, and is this finally the season that they make some noise in the playoffs?…

NLP Podcast Episode 61: Paul George still a franchise player?/Trade season! 30:00

8年之前30:00

30:00

You would be hardpressed to find somebody before the season started that wouldn't have taken Paul George to build their franchise around in a hearbeat. He has it all: two-way player, can play multiple positions (he did come in the league as a shooting guard, after all), and a knack for the big moment. This season, however, has definitely had its struggles for George and the Pacers. So we ask: is he still someone you want to build your team around? And it's trade season! So you know we have to play around with some trade rumors.…

NLP Podcast Episode 60: Are the Bulls wasting Jimmy Butler's Prime? 31:00

8年之前31:00

31:00

The Central division has turned out to be quite the interesting mix of teams, with the emergence of the Greek Freak as a superstar, and the disappointment of teams like the Pacers. The Detroit Pistons and the Chicago Bulls may both fall into the category of disappointments as well, especially with the amount of talent on each squad. First, for the Pistons, we will discuss the continuing development of Andre Drummond, what should be their true starting five, and where we stand on Reggie Jackson as a starting point guard. Then, how the Bulls are like the Brooklyn Nets, a new nickname for Jimmy Butler, and what the Bulls should do about their point guard problem.…

NLP Podcast Episode 59: Are we freaking out over Kyle Korver? 31:00

8年之前31:00

31:00

Although LeBron is still dissatisfied, many have labeled Kyle Korver as the missing piece to another Cavaliers championship run, especially in the absence of JR Smith. Are we ready to go that far, and what do other teams need as their final piece to the puzzle? We also discuss our week with the Denver Nuggets. Which European reigns supreme at the center of the Nuggets offense? Is Kenneth Faried still good? Does Mike Malone know what a rotation is? And is this possibly the deepest team in the league…

When Tom Thibodeau took the coaching job with the Timberwolves, expectations skyrocketed, and many (including ourselves) had the Wolves as a compeitor in the playoffs. So far, that has not come to fruition, but are we sure that is still a bad thing? How much did we miss Thibs yelling ICE! on the sidelines? And are we sure that Andrew Wiggins is the second best player on the Wolves, when just a year ago we were trying to decide if he was the best player on the wolves?…

The New York contingency at the NBA draft who booed the giant European guy the Knicks drafted at #4 seems like a decade ago now, as the Porzingod now rules NYC. Are the Knicks Porzingis's team? What did we expect from Derrick Rose this season? Who is the Knicks best center? Also, would you trade for Demarcus Cousins? And should 24 year olds be resting…

NLP Podcast Episode 56: Baby Lakers and Milwaukee Freaks Double Feature 30:00

Without D'Angelo Russell, the Lakers have hit a bit of a rough patch. Still, the future is bright. Lou Williams may be sixth man of the year, and Jordan Clarkson still sounds like one of the better deal in free agency. Brandon Ingram may need to sit out games for the buffet table. Milwaukee is more on the cusp, and may be the sleeper in the east. Is the Greek Freak the Greek superstar? Is Jabari a worthy Robin? And how exactly does Matthew Dellavadova get things done…

The Washington Wizards signed Bradley Beal to a monster free agent deal this offseason, but the Wizards slow start under new coach Scott Brooks has some wondering what exactly the backcourt of Beal and John Wall will bring the Wizards. Is it time to ditch the experiment? Markieff Morris, subtraction by addition? Has Marcus Thornton played for every team in the league? From there, the hosts will switch coasts and visit the Phoenix Suns. Who is the odd man out? Is Devin Booker the next star, or did we crown him too early? Follow the podcast on twitter @NLPPodcast!…

DeMar DeRozen leads the league in scoring, and Kyle Lowry is playing a great supporting role. But, is that enough to make the Raptors a contender for the Eastern Conference or is this just their MO now? We also attempt to find DeMarre Carroll, and figure out how to pronounce Bebe. Speaking of contenders, the LA Clippers are also on the menu, and their probability of winning the Western Conference.…

NLP Podcast Episode 52: The Houston Point Hardens 30:00

30:00

When Mike D'Antoni took the job in Houston, many wondered how the creative offensive mind would work with one of the most prolific offensive players the NBA has ever seen in James Harden. His solution: turn the prolific shooting guard into a prolific point guard. BRILLIANT! Or is it? Also, it is easy to make predictions in the preseason, but sometimes it takes a few games to really feel good about them. Which predictions are we sitting comfortably with? And are the Baby Lakers suddenly the most entertaining team in Los Angeles?…
