[S5E9] Rebel With a Cause (ft. Dr. Tracy G. Crump)

As society continues to grapple with our relationship to work, many of the tried and true norms continue to fall into question, particularly by Millenials and Gen Z.

Crump [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracygcrump/] to discuss further. Discussion Insights: What are some universal truths about the current world of work we should all understand?

[S5E8] The Myth of Meritocracy: Performance Reviews (ft. Rasháanda Cook)

Capitalism would have you believe that hard work is the only requirement for success. If you work hard, you reap the reward. If that's the case, why are performance reviews so chaotic ... after all, you did put in the hard work! The Access Point hosts Drs. Lonnie [http://bit.ly/3XrJKcZ] & Wendy [https://bit.ly/3B3uhqs] welcome special guest Rasháanda Cook [https://www.linkedin.com/in/rashaandacook/] to discuss further. Discussion Insight: What is meritocracy? What are the conditions that make it work as described? Why do performance evaluations suck so much? What are the biases in performance reviews that we need to look out for as Black and brown folk at work?

[S5E7] Return to Sender: Why You Don't Need to Defend Yourself (ft. Deborah Owens)

Workplace communication, particularly around expectation setting and feedback with supervisors, can be riddled with anxiety. Many people are not good at these interactions and can easily slip into a myriad of manipulation and gaslighting tactics to get their way. If you are not careful, you might be left carrying a bag that is not actually for you. The Access Point hosts Drs.

[S5E6] You Can't Sit With Us (ft. Dr. Brenda Carter)

While diversity and representation continue is additive to business strategy, many organizations still struggle to recruit, reward, and retain a diverse workforce. While we'd expect the most senior Black/brown people in the workplace to serve as a built-in mentor, coach or advocate, that is not always the case. It's even worse when it feels like they actively undermine you. The Access Point hosts Drs.

What does this mean in the workplace? What is the long term effect of not dealing with gatekeeping - overt and covert?

[S5E5] No! Get Somebody Else To Do It! (ft. Dr. Candice Hunter)

As society continues to settle into realigned relationships with work, a big aspect of this post-pandemic reality has been better alignment with personal values and then establishing and enforcing boundaries to honor these values. As a result, sometimes the answer to a reasonable workplace request is "No". Drs. Lonnie [http://bit.ly/3XrJKcZ] & Wendy [https://bit.ly/3B3uhqs] welcome special guest Dr. Candice Hunter [https://bit.ly/3M7IeZB] to discuss further. Discussion Insights: What are boundaries? Where should Black/brown folks exercise caution in response to other people’s boundaries (or them telling us no)? How can we say ‘no’ without saying ‘no'? How do we manage the side effects of 'no' and boundaries? Connect with Dr. Edmonds [https://bit.ly/3B3uhqs] & Dr. Morris [http://bit.ly/3XrJKcZ] on LinkedIn.
