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.

Episode 108 | The Art of Holding Space: 5 Essential Questions for Mindful Leadership 10:31

acum 7 weeks10:31

10:31

In today's episode, I dive deep into the transformative practice of holding space - a fundamental skill that I've discovered bridges contemplative practices with modern leadership. As I've been developing curriculum for my Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, and meditation training programs, I've found myself exploring how this seemingly spiritual practice directly translates to effective leadership principles. I share five crucial questions that have revolutionized how I hold space for others, questions that I believe are essential whether you're a yoga teacher, energy healer, coach, educator, or social impact leader. Together, we'll explore the delicate balance between being present without fixing, listening without agenda, and maintaining healthy boundaries while creating a container for growth. In this episode, I offer practical insights for: Checking your own groundedness before holding space for others Developing comfort with silence and its transformative power Recognizing and releasing judgment during supportive interactions Setting boundaries that enhance rather than limit your ability to support others This episode is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their practice of presence and support, whether in professional leadership or personal relationships. Join me for this exploration of what it truly means to walk alongside others in their journey with wisdom and grace. ____________________ Shawn J.

As I mark this 100th episode, I want to take a moment to thank you, our listeners. Without your support and engagement, this podcast simply wouldn't exist. Your feedback, comments, and messages have inspired us to keep going, even when the road ahead has been tough. Especially in instances where, I wasn’t sure if people were connecting with the podcast or whether it was even having an impact! I am incredibly proud of what has been accomplished in the past 100 episodes, but we know that there is still so much work to be done and more conversations to be had. I am committed to bringing you thoughtful, engaging content that helps you to grow, learn, and become more mindful in your everyday life. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support. I can't wait to see what the next 100 episodes bring, and I hope that you will continue to join us on this journey. As a thank you - I want to share with you a sound bath practice.
