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.

That was 15 years ago, and since then Annabelle has dedicated her life to helping children, and adults, reach their full potential. How hard was it to build a school in a foreign country? And why was she carrying wheelbarrows full of cash around Africa? Find out more about School For Life here: https://www.schoolforlife.org.au/ Hosted on Acast.

Originally trained as a physiotherapist, she is now executive director of the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse centre in Sydney where she also works as a patient advocate.

In a frank and honest conversation, Gail discusses her work carrying on Chris’ legacy, and providing advocacy in a hospital setting while dealing with her own grief and loss, not only of Chris but also her son Adam, who tragically died in his sleep less than two years later.

There’s a lot more poverty in Australia than people realise, according to Yolanda Saiz. And she should know. As CEO of the St Vincent De Paul Society in New South Wales, Yolanda sees first-hand every day the toll the current cost of living crisis is taking on everyday Australians. One of the largest providers of homeless and domestic services in NSW, Vinnie’s is now more needed than ever, with a staggering one in three people turning to the organisation for help. And with a high number of the people who were making donations now in need of those donations themselves, how hard is it to raise funds? Yolanda talks about being the first-ever female CEO of the organisation in NSW, and how she stays on top of innovation and best practice to lead Vinnie’s to be able to help those who need it most.

Tara Moss had it all. A former model and the successful author of 14 bestselling books, hers was a glamorous life. Until eight years ago when she was struck down by Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, a debilitating chronic pain condition for which there is no cure. She was told by numerous doctors that she would never recover, that being wheelchair bound and unable to do anything by herself was the way it would always be. But Tara has never been one to resist a challenge and now, after eight long years – and against all the odds – she is in remission. In one of the first interviews she has given in Australia since receiving the good news, she opens up to Sandra about how tough the last eight years have really been for her and her family, and the sheer joy of being able to walk unaided once more and do the things that she thought she never would again.

Jelena Dokic had a phenomenal tennis career. But it was what happened off the court and her decision, years later, to talk openly about the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father that has seen her constantly in the public eye. Having been raised to be silent, Jelena found her voice six years ago and wrote her first book, Unbreakable . Since then, she has made it her mission to speak up for those who can’t. There is no denying her courage, her tenacity and her drive to open up the conversation around mental health and domestic abuse. As her second book hits the shelves, she sits down with Sandra for an open, honest and raw conversation, in which Jelena not only shows us how our story makes us stronger, but also that she is, in fact, Fearless.

On average men in Australia retire with a lot more superannuation than women, about 35% more. That’s a staggering amount. But it seems that money is still a taboo subject, and most women would rather talk to their friends and colleagues about sex than about their finances. Someone who is trying to break that taboo is Christina Hobbs, who has made it her mission to make us better with our money. Christina is the CEO and co-founder of Verve Super, which is Australia’s first ethical super fund established by women for women. Through Verve she is opening up the conversation and providing support to help women take control of their finances, build their wealth and ultimately close the savings gap.

Andie Halas is one of the unsung heroes of the fashion industry. With fashion waste continuing to be a massive issue worldwide, Andie saw the potential in giving unsold clothing that would normally end up in landfill to people in need – providing the most ethical solution to fashion excess. Just over a decade ago she set up Thread Together to make that happen in Australia, giving those in need the dignity and choice to get on with their lives by giving them access to new clothing. Fast forward to today, and more than 1,000 partners have come on board, to date repurposing 5.6 million pieces of clothing waste to the men and women who need it most. More than one million items were distributed in 2022 alone. Find out more about Andie and Thread Together, and how to donate or become a volunteer, here - https://threadtogether.org Hosted on Acast.
