QUALIFIED: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work with Shari Dunn | 284 33:58

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.

As busy school counselors, we often find ourselves reaching for quick-fix solutions to help our students. But are these convenient resources truly serving our students' needs? In this episode, I challenge the effectiveness of "print and pray" materials that have become way too common in our field. Thinking back to the misguided "fat-free" diet craze of the 90s, I explore how mass-produced school counseling worksheets and activities might be doing more harm than good. Because while they promise quick results and seem helpful on the surface, they often lack the substance needed for meaningful change. 00:00 Introduction: 90s Diet Culture 02:21 The Problem with "Print and Pray" Resources 04:33 Effective Counseling Strategies 06:50 Behaviorism and Counseling 08:15 Trauma-Informed Care in Counseling 09:48 Solution-Focused Brief Therapy 12:39 Practical Tips for School Counselors 20:11 Conclusion ********************************** Our goal at School for School Counselors is to help school counselors stay on fire, make huge impacts for students, and catalyze change for our roles through grassroots advocacy and collaboration.

Can small acts of kindness truly transform a school environment? Or is that just wishful thinking? As we dive into Random Acts of Kindness Week , I’m sharing my firsthand experiences as a school counselor navigating workplace challenges—and how I discovered that the simplest gestures can have the biggest impact on school culture. Imagine a school where stress doesn’t rule the day, burnout isn’t lurking around every corner, and job satisfaction actually exists —all because kindness became a deliberate daily habit. In this episode, we’ll break down the science behind kindness - how it can actually reduce stress, boost resilience, and create ripple effects across an entire campus - for adults AND students. If you’re looking for a practical, zero-cost strategy to not only shift your school’s atmosphere but also protect your own mental health, this episode is for you.

* Join the School for School Counselors Mastermind today to become the school counselor you were meant to be .* Happy National School Counseling Week! Or maybe not? There’s a growing divide in how school counselors feel about this week—some dive in with enthusiasm, while others don't want to be bothered. And honestly, after what I’ve been seeing lately, I get it. In this episode, I talk through the uncomfortable truths about school counseling advocacy : what’s missing, why it matters, and how we’ve been misled about who’s actually fighting for us. (Spoiler: If you think your national organization has your back, you might want to think again.) I also break down concerning new legislation across the country, exposing the lack of organized advocacy in our profession, and sharing why our current efforts just aren’t cutting it. But here’s the thing— we’re not powerless. There’s a better way to advocate, and it starts with YOU. If you’re tired of the same old conferences and feel-good slogans while school counseling falls apart behind the scenes, this episode is for you. 00:00 Mixed Reactions to National School Counseling Week 01:23 Facebook Group Insights 02:49 Legislative Concerns and ASCA's Role 04:30 Critique of ASCA and Advocacy Issues 14:30 State Organizations and Legislative Challenges 21:46 Call to Action and Positive Notes 22:32 Listener Submissions: Why We Love School Counseling ********************************** Our goal at School for School Counselors is to help school counselors stay on fire, make huge impacts for students, and catalyze change for our roles through grassroots advocacy and collaboration.

⭐️ Join the School for School Counselors Mastermind to build a "stress-less" career In this episode of the School for School Counselors podcast, host Steph Johnson addresses an issue many school counselors face: the overwhelming number of "urgent" student requests. She argues that constantly "saving the day" might actually hurt student development and introduces a framework for triaging student concerns. Drawing on research by Ryan and Deci on self-determination theory, she emphasizes the importance of fostering student autonomy for psychological well-being. Steph outlines key questions counselors can use to decide when to intervene or step back, aiming to balance immediate support needs with opportunities for student growth. The episode also touches on strategies for explaining this approach to school staff, keeping professional fluency, and joining the School for School Counselors Mastermind group to discuss and refine these practices. 00:00 Introduction: The Overwhelmed School Counselor 00:49 Welcome to the Podcast 01:48 The Problem with Being a Superhero Counselor 07:13 The Importance of Student Autonomy 13:03 A Framework for Triage in School Counseling 20:15 Implementing Autonomy Supportive Strategies 28:45 Building Professional Fluency 30:37 Conclusion and Resources Link to Decision-Making Question List ********************************** Resources: Eagle, J.
