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.

The Fear Of "Private" As It Pertains To Health Care - It's Your Call Jan 17, 2023 35:27

منذ 2 years35:27

35:27

Ontario's Premier is set to announce approval for some privately owned clinics to begin offering surgeries for things like hips, knees, cataracts... The idea being to take some of the burden off of our existing health care infrastructure. No Ontario citizen would pay for this care. The province would, just as they do now. Yet, countless people hear "private" or "for profit" and insist that this must not happen here. I disagree. We discuss. It's YOUR Call. www.itsyourcall.ca…

Snow and ice were "too much for us to handle" says OC Transpo's GM. As the public service gets set to return to downtown after an absence of two years, our LRT has been broken down for six days and almost exclusively, no elected official in Ottawa has taken to social media to address it. Today I ask, just what does it take to piss you off citizens of Ottawa? Do you not expect more from council? The mayor? Even after just two months on the job? I do. But...

Vaccine Conspiracies Have No Place Here - It's Your Call Jan 3, 2023 34:22

منذ 2 years34:22

34:22

Within moments of news breaking that Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin was administered CPR during Monday night’s game, the messages on social media quickly assumed that his situation was due to Covid vaccines. It had EVERYTHING to do with blunt force trauma from another player’s helmet hitting him square in the chest at 30 mph. But some just can't accept that and HAVE to blame it on vaccines. We discuss how we’re each managing those types of posts on our social media feeds. And… and OPP officer killed in the line of duty. Ambushed by two convicted criminals, both out on bail, both with warrants, and one with an illegally obtained firearm. We want to know what you are doing to insists on changes that impact those who use illegal weapons instead of laws that impact those who acquire weapons legally and for zero ill intent.

$80 To Sit On Santa's Lap? I Know Strippers Who Charge Less 34:13

Today I found out that some malls are charging as much as $80.00 for your kids to see Santa. While I understand the expenses involved, and, as a photographer myself, I don't begrudge anyone taking Santa photos an opportunity to make money, is a visit to Santa not a "loss leader" for the mall? How in the world can a family who are down on their luck afford that? Also... Why is there an option to visit the Grinch? And just what the hell is a Spooky Santa? I'm upset. What about you?

My wife heard an interesting statistic this morning; The majority of people surveyed said they'd spend more on their pet this holiday season ($85) than they will on their friends ($80.) So... I asked you if you'd be spending that much. And... Considering inflation and how many are struggling right now, I also ventured to find out what things you'd be willing to cut back on, and what holiday related things are just not negotiable for you. For me, it's food. We received a lot of great comments, a phone call from a good friend I hadn't heard from in a long time, and we totally made someone's Christmas a little better by giving them a gift that they, nor I, saw coming.

Are Safety Campaigns Unfairly Targeting Traditional Vehicle Drivers? It’s Your Call Nov 14, 2022 32:18

منذ 2 years32:18

32:18

Why do we continue to tell drivers of traditional vehicles (cars & trucks) that it is their responsibility to be watching out for all of the other vehicles on the road? A driver with a DUI can purchase an e-bike tomorrow, and with the flip of a switch, be driving again at speeds of up to 100 km/h. No license, no insurance required. Pedestrians are wandering into the streets while staring at their phones. Others are walking at night in dark clothes. Is that 100% the responsibility of vehicle drivers to watch out for them? Should cyclists not be pulled over and fined for not having lights? Should they require a license? With so many new types of vehicles sharing the roads, is it time we change who we're targeting in the conversations about road safety?
