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.

Leaders can’t ignite their vision of meaningful change all by themselves, or they would. But others won’t act unless they too can see what the leader sees could be, or at least have a glimpse of it. In this Illumify Game Changer episode, Jonathan answers the question that can ultimately determine whether his vision ever gets realized – or not.

Minisode 44 – “It gives a hint of the possibility.” – The Leader’s Headline 2:21

منذ 3 أيام2:21

2:21

Given how vast a vision of change can be, why would you even try to express it in just a headline? Well, there are a lot of reasons. It challenges you as a leader to find the essence of your vision. To distil it, and all its complexity, into just a few words. And for the audience, whether listening or reading, it makes it clear and succinct. You could do that, of course, without having to create a headline for it. But what a good headline has to do is make the “story” compelling enough to pull us into wanting to learn more. In his minisode, Jonathan learns why it’s worth the challenge.…

Season 1:44 –- The Leader’s Headline for Change 34:58

34:58

A leader’s ability to convince others to help ignite a change means first being able to get their attention. And that’s no mean feat given all of the noise competing for our attention today. In this episode of The Illumify Game Changer Podcast, Jonathan is tasked with creating a headline that would cut through that noise enough to pique some initial interest. Show Notes 0:01:10 Amplify Question 37: If you could write a headline for this significant change, what would it be? 0:06:00 It’s time to heal and build again. But rise is better. 0:09:00 After putting pen to paper, 4 headline options. 0:09:44 “Finding each other again.” What does that look like? 0:14:57 The sense of reciprocity is very important. 0:19:26 Since change is incremental, your headline can begin with an increment of your vision and then take them beyond. 0:21:38 “Let’s break with the past and return home together” is very interesting. 0:23:55 Finding the balance between comforting and reassurance and something more rigorous and demanding. 0:28:50 Final Answer. 0:31:00 The difference between raising awareness and reminding them.…

SUMMARY of Episode 44: The Leader's Headline For Change. 1:11

منذ 3 أيام1:11

1:11

We should never underestimate the power of a good headline. There’s a reason there are those whose sole job is to write headlines on newspapers and other publications. A powerful headline draws people in. It stops them from scanning further, and compels them to read, or in this case listen, further. And it does so in just a few words. Finding just the right words matters, as Jonathan discovers in this episode. There are many parts to his vision, too many to fit into one short headline. So he’s forced to choose from among them. He got pretty close in this conversation, capturing some key phrases like “stepping forward together”. But in the end, he wasn’t comfortable putting a headline on his vision just yet. The leader’s journey continues. Stay tuned.…

Minisode 43 – “This is who we are. This is what we can be” – The Leader’s Declaration 3:29

منذ 10 أيام3:29

3:29

We hear leadership in particular ways. One is through the use of a linguistic construct called a “declaration”. There are different kinds of declarations but the one most significant to leaders is a vision. In this minisode, Marianne explains how Jonathan’s vision is not just one declaration but actually a collection of them.…

1:22:28

Given that a leader’s vision is of the future and doesn’t yet exist, there’s no concrete evidence of what it is. It’s essential therefore to be able to describe it using the exact words that make it meaningful enough to others so they’ll listen and respond. That’s the very challenge Jonathan, a professional speech writer, faces in this next Illumify Game Changer question. 0:01:08 Reference Cards: Illumify definition, Enleaven definition, Guidelines 0:04:45 Does your vision now feel an integral part of you? 0:07:14 I feel I am walking back to the building site every morning and starting work again on my vision. 0:10:00 Now that you’re embodying your vision, do you see yourself as David or Goliath? 0:13:30 What vs. how, and his preference for why. 0:16:00 Amplify Question 36: How can you express your vision so it matters to them, not just to you? 0:20:50 A speech and a conversation at first glance appear very different. 0:23:22 The need for reassurance. 0:25:33 Are you expressing it in the way that matters to them too? 0:29:25 The vision is a living, breathing thing that gives it the energy to reach beyond your inner circle. 0:31:42 Creation of the new always means destruction. 0:33:18 Spreading by word of mouth happens because it’s significant. 0:36:00 Each part of the vision would necessarily provoke and in some cases repel. 0:38:30 Jonathan begins to articulate his vision. 0:46:50 Jonathan expresses his vision more fully with the mastery of a speechwriter. 0:53:10 Deconstructing Jonathan’s “speech”. 0:57:05 We have to share the idea of what constitutes the good life. 1:02:23 Jonathan’s vision “statement” as a collection of declarations unified into one. 1:03:30 It’s through language that leadership emerges. 1:07:30 Final Answer to “ How can you express your vision so it matters to them, not just to you? 1:10:55 Team members’ response to Jonathan’s vision: from confusion and shame to hope and inspiration.…

SUMMARY of Episode 43: The leader's vision has to matter. 2:00

منذ 10 أيام2:00

2:00

Words matter to leaders. And this episode reveals why. It begins with Jonathan realizing what it means to “enleaven” others. Although this word isn’t in the dictionary – yet – it makes a huge difference on the willingness and ability of others to help ignite your meaningful change. And then Jonathan was asked to express his vision. By now, more than 30 questions in since he started to illuminate it, finding the words to describe it could have been relatively easy. Having already tossed around some of the words and phrases, he just needed to retrieve them. But just like most leaders I’ve worked with, this proved to be no easy task. The first words that came out were features and characteristics. There was nothing to bind them. So Jonathan retreated to put pen to paper. Fifteen minutes later, he emerged with a symphony of words. More than a vision statement, it was speechcraft at its finest – testament to his former life as a professional speechwriter. Music to the ears. But did it answer this card’s question? Did he express his vision so it matters to others, and not just to him? It certainly provoked a lot of different feelings from those in the room. And not all were positive. That means there’s a risk that the vision so meaningful to him could turn others off, making it harder to find and keep those who could help ignite it. Words do matter. The leader’s journey continues. Stay tuned.…

Minisode 42: “The moment they hear the vision, it has changed.” -- The Leader’s Vision Comes to Life 3:59

3:59

Your vision of meaningful change may start as just a glimmer of what could be. The more you tend it, reflect on it, and put words to it, as Jonathan has done in this leader’s journey, the more vivid and compelling it becomes to you. You may be determined to express it, and preserve it, just as you see it. But as this minisode reveals, your vision will change the very moment you share it.…

Season 1:42 –- Will others get the leader’s vision of change? 1:03:34

منذ 17 يومًا1:03:34

1:03:34

One of the leader’s biggest challenges is to be able to express their vision of change in the way that other people “get it” enough to begin to see its significance for them. If not, they simply won’t act, and the leader’s vison of change won’t be realized. Jonathan already knows how important language is. In answering this next Amplify question, he sees that the words he would use could actually turn others off, and discovers how to prevent that. We’re joined in this conversation by Britanny, another member of my team. Show Notes 0:01:18 Amplify Question 35: What don’t they get about this? 0:06:40 Language, like “Truth” and “Sacred Dignity” may distract them because it’s over moralistic and may sound like preaching. 0:09:45 From the broad sphere of your vision, what don’t they get about it? 0:12:10 It’s not about being pious. We are at our best when we together pursue the truth. 0:16:40 Journalists are not saints. 0:19:40 The gatekeepers determine the news that could unify us. 0:21:35 “Getting it” has a different level of complexity and precision than before. 0:26:30 A story of Watergate’s impact on journalism. 0:30:40 You have to give them permission to fail. 0:33:20 The danger of sounding intractable because of your language and tone of voice. 0:36:00 The importance of the word “we” as a call to come together. 0:38:37 Summarizing what they don’t get so far. 0:41:40 Truth doesn’t wrap itself around the vision. It’s good clean fresh air. 0:47:20 If truth is revitalizing, can it help spark your vision? 0:52:20 Final Answer 0:59:43 Finding the common thread through Inspiration.…

SUMMARY of Episode 42: Will others get the leader's vision of change? 1:27

منذ 17 يومًا1:27

1:27

Words matter to leaders. What you say to those who can help ignite your change has a huge bearing on if and how they’ll respond -- even when their role demands that they should. Jonathan has been long conscious of the importance of words. As the chief speech writer to the former President of the European Union, he even made his living by them. Nevertheless, this conversation heightened his awareness of the critical need to choose words wisely and precisely. He sees that the words that matter most to him, and that are central to his vision, could distract or even repel others. Sacred Dignity. Diversity. Truth. He doesn’t want to seem like a pious, moral authority. So he’s got to convey the value of pursuing truth together, and emphasize the “we” over “I”. At the end of this conversation, he gave new meaning to the expression “a breath of fresh air” and found a source of inspiration. The leader’s journey continues. Stay tuned.…

Even the most positive change provokes concerns.

There are no half-measures when it comes to expressing your leadership. Knowing what concerns others may have about your vision is one thing; addressing them is quite another. In this episode of The Illumify Game Changer, the leader is asked to find the words to resolve those very concerns. Show Notes 0:01:00 Reference Cards: Illumify Definition and Guidelines 0:08:25 Amplify Card 34: What can you say to resolve their concerns? 0:09:25 This vision is not a list. It’s a sphere, a collection of ideas that work together in tension with each other. 0:14:15 We start with freedom, and choose our own path. 0:17:25 Vision not a place of refuge but a solution. 0:20:20 It’s more important than ever that today we tell a true story about our past. 0:22:05 Can we find a way to organize ourselves that echoes the questions we face within our own selves? 0:25:25 We wake up every morning as humans, not as job seekers. 0:31:30 It’s perfectly understandable to worry about “strangers”. 0:33:40 Examples of pivotal historical events in Europe that speak to its value of freedom. 0:38:12 The truth of the European story is that we are a continent of refugees. All of us. 0:41:20 Is defending one’s home from others coming in a concern? 0:45:30 That’s where the story we tell is so important. 0:48:20 Are we able to tell the truth? 0:51:55 The real diversity is the one inside of us. 0:54:44 This is where we have to expand our notion of what “home” is. 0:58:40 You can be attached to your (former) home, and carry it with you. 1:00:25 “We are all united in our need for home.” 1:03:55 You have to be aware of their real-time concerns and address them as well. 1:05:42 You can’t just switch off the light without empowering them on what they can do about it. 1:06:00 Final Answer 1:11:00 The metaphor of the visionary as a film director.…

SUMMARY of Episode 41: The leader speaks to their concerns. 1:55

منذ 24 يومًا1:55

1:55

Expressing your vision as a leader is a little like flying an airplane. You have to stay at the optimal altitude – not too high and not too low – and be able to manage any and all turbulence. The turbulence for a leader is the concerns others have about your vision. Whether vocal or silent, those concerns prevent them from listening and acting on your vision. So you need to be able to say whatever it is that resolves them. In this conversation, Jonathan saw that he can’t just express his vision as a list. It’s actually a “sphere” in which different ideas exist in tension with each other: It’s about home but not refuge. There’s diversity among us and within us but it’s understandable to be wary of strangers. We need the financial means to live but we wake up first and foremost as humans, not job seekers. And the need for truth is ever-present. Right down to the need to tell the truth about our past. Jonathan saw how to anticipate and respond to a number of concerns his vision may evoke. But he also sees he will have to address other concerns that surface in real-time conversations. There is a lot of truth though in his declaration that, “We are all united in our need for home.” That may be enough for some to be open to listening to his vision of a shared home. The leader’s journey continues. Stay tuned.…

Minisode 1.40 – “They’ll tune out.” – How leaders can ensure they’re heard. 4:17

منذ 4 weeks4:17

As a leader, every time you speak you have an opportunity to advance your leadership initiative. But first they have to hear you, and you can’t assume they’re even listening. In this minisode from episode 40, Marianne reveals what you can do to ensure they tune in to your every word.

Season 1:40 – Why they could tune out the leader. 1:08:32

منذ 4 weeks1:08:32

1:08:32

If leaders can’t engage others, they won’t be able to ignite their meaningful change. But don’t be fooled that when you speak, they are even listening. There are a lot of reasons why they may not even hear you. As Jonathan learns in this Illumify Game Changer episode, it’s better to know what those are before you open your mouth to speak. Show Notes 0:01:03 Reflecting on the importance of language to leadership. 0:02:40 Reference Cards, and the meaning of “collective” 0:04:45 Amplify Card 33: What concerns them about this? 0:10:40 They may be mostly happy where they are so it’s irrelevant to them. 0:13:13 Some would be squeamish about those words and ideas. 0:14:25 The moral overtone might be too heavy for some people. 0:18:35 Importance of common factual reality of truth, with examples of life and death stories. 0:22:50 “I don’t think my vision works unless it applies to every individual.” 0:28:30 There’s deep truth in our need for each other. 0:33:48 How do you address concerns about sharing a home when others posed a threat in the pandemic and there’s value in working remotely? 0:36:15 The 3 parts of the vision. 0:42:35 It’s truth among us that leads to trust and gives a deep strength that runs through the whole community. 0:47:33 The importance of due diligence to ensure you are heard. 0:59:05 It can be quiet resistance. They just withdraw. Follow them to see what they do. 1:01:05 A story about how culture can have a huge bearing on how we interpret what we hear. 1:04:10 Due diligence questions.…

SUMMARY of Episode 40: Why they could tune out the leader. 1:55

منذ 4 weeks1:55

1:55

This question gets to the heart of another prime reason why a leader’s meaningful change fails to ignite. Despite the fact that the question serves to surface the concerns others may have about his vision, Jonathan begins to answer by listing why it matters. And yes, it does. But at this point, maybe it only matters to him. This another of the Amplify questions that is deliberately designed to help him express his vision in the way that matters to them too as they’re the ones who can help him realize it. Unless leaders are aware of the concerns, and can address and ideally resolve them, others will not embrace the vision. They’ll resist. It may look like they’re listening but they could have well tuned out. And that may not be evident until you see that they fail to act on what you’ve said. Surfacing concerns is part of what I call the “due diligence” that is so vital to a leader’s ability to engage, align and mobilize those who can help ignite the change. As I list in this conversation, there are many facets to consider. It may seem like a big investment of time and effort on the leader’s part. But the return can be invaluable as it identifies exactly what needs to be said in order for them to listen and respond in the ways that help realize the meaningful change. The leader’s journey continues. Stay tuned.…
