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.

This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam is pleased to welcome Author and Professor, Kamla K. Kapur.

Kamla is a versatile and celebrated writer, who seamlessly weaves her Indian heritage with her experiences here in the United States to craft captivating literary works spanning plays, novels, poetry, essays, and reimagining of Indian spiritual texts. She is the author of 8 books.

Her latest book is The Privilege of Aging, Savoring the Fullness of Life.

Kamla has moved beyond her identity as an author into her identity as a crumbling old person who continues to write passionately whenever the Universe allows. At 76 she is moving from a search for meaning to an experience of existence, of the profoundly simple gifts, food, exercise, contemplation, silence, stretching, resting, her Yorkie doggie daughter sleeping on her lap, her husband holding her hand in sleep.

She is giving away possessions and property with a warm hand to live the rest of her life unencumbered, nonattached, free, affirming life even as she moves towards an affirmation of death. So far all is well.

She hopes all the tricks and techniques she diligently practices will come to her aid in the inherent uncertainty and challenges of her future.

Selina is widely known for her own unique approach to living one’s truest daily life, called Practical Spirituality. In 2013, Selina experienced a life-changing moment that reinforced the work she had done to live in love. A serious car event left her severely impaired and brain damaged.

Unable to sustain conversations, or fully use her brain for tasks, she focused on constant meditation and rest. During this time, she was visited continuously by Spirit. Messages were downloading daily and she was informed that her life had shifted forever. It was clear that her practice of responding to all from love, was the reason supporting her total certainty and positivity during this catastrophic period. At that point, Selina Maitreya became entirely committed to life as a spiritual teacher, devoted to helping others respond to life as love. Selina has experienced the teachings of Practical Spirituality under truly devastating conditions. Her latest book is entitled, Raise Your Frequency Transform Your Life .
