    Identity as Curriculum: The Risks and Rewards of Lived Experience | Dr. Sara Kafashan

    How does lived experience inform DEI facilitation, connections, and dialogues? While requiring DEI facilitators and educators to have lived experience can correct historical wrongs and build connections, it also puts them at personal and professional risk. This work involves significant, often invisible emotional labour, which falls disproportionately on those with diverse identities and can lead to burnout. To mitigate harm, organizations must provide structural support like co-facilitation and equitable workload distribution, while facilitators can use personal strategies like strategic self-disclosure to protect themselves. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with applied social psychologist Dr. Sara Kafashan about the practice of "identity as curriculum." They discuss the professional risks and emotional labour involved when facilitators use their lived experience in DEI work or to teach sensitive topics, and explore how organizations can better support those doing this vulnerable and essential work.

  2. Building Strong Intergenerational Teams | Natasha Sharma

    Building Strong Intergenerational Teams | Natasha Sharma

    How can we build strong intergenerational teams in the workplace? Instead of viewing generational differences through the lens of stereotypes or a “competition of pain,” we can approach them as a form of cultural diversity. By fostering cultural competence, validating each generation’s unique experiences, and leveraging friction for growth, organizations can build stronger, more innovative teams. Strategies like two-way mentoring, having open conversations about values, and being curious about different perspectives can help organizations “future-proof” their culture, ensuring it is resilient and inclusive for everyone. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Natasha Sharma, a DEI professional and the founder and CEO of Power in Progress. They explore how to move beyond common generational stereotypes by treating intergenerational differences as a form of cultural diversity. Natasha shares practical strategies to foster empathy, leverage friction for growth, and build stronger, more innovative teams that are inclusive for all ages.

  3. Moving from Civility to Cultural Competence | Sara Taylor

    Moving from Civility to Cultural Competence | Sara Taylor

    Can ‘civility’ bridge polarized perspectives at work? In our increasingly polarized world, many workplaces are turning to "civility" as a solution, but this approach often falls short by promoting a surface-level harmony that ignores the root of our divisions. Civility alone isn’t the answer, it’s only halfway there on the road to cultural competence. True progress requires developing skills that allow us to move beyond judgment and defensiveness. By understanding the developmental stages of how we interact with difference, we can navigate difficult conversations, reduce harm, and build the capacity to create genuinely inclusive and effective teams. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Sara Taylor, a Cultural Competence expert and author of Filter Shift and Thinking at the Speed of Bias. They examine why civility initiatives often fail to bridge deep workplace divides and explore the five-stage model for developing cultural competence. They also discuss the real harm of politicizing identity and why true effectiveness requires moving beyond mere civility to genuinely understand and adapt to difference.

    Rethinking Productivity: Wellbeing and Neurodiversity at Work | Kerry Ann King

    Can neurodivergent adults heal our relationship with “productivity”? Healing our relationship with productivity is the key to finding satisfaction and self-efficacy at work. By understanding diverse productivity styles and the emotional factors that affect productivity, we can break free from negative cycles of guilt and shame. Reframing productivity can give us the self-knowledge and vocabulary we need to better self-advocate, to collaborate, and to work in ways that work for us. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Kerry Ann King, a wellbeing and productivity expert and CEO of Eluminate Labs. They examine our relationship with “productivity” and how we can rethink it through self-compassion, understanding our productivity styles, and addressing the emotional factors that impact how we work. They also explore strategies for supporting neurodivergent individuals and building inclusive workplaces.

    How can you tell if you’re a bad boss? | Jamie Woolf & Dr. Christopher Bell

    How can you tell if you’re a bad boss? Healthy workplace cultures start from the top. Effective leaders are self-aware, and understand the power dynamics in their organizations. They constantly build trust through admitting mistakes, recognizing their own blind spots, inviting and acting on feedback, and fostering constructive dissent to create an inclusive environment where people genuinely want to contribute. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with Jamie Woolf and Dr. Christopher Bell, leaders at Creativity Partners, a consultancy with a focus on unleashing, trust and innovation through constructive disruption. They discuss how to identify and avoid being a "bad boss" and explore the importance of self-awareness, fostering trust, playfulness, open communication, and creating spaces for feedback and dissent.

    Developing Effective Leaders | Jennifer Porritt

    What mindsets and strategies are essential for today’s leaders? The skills that help people rise in the ranks at work aren’t always the same skills they need when they reach leadership roles. Leaders are often expected to excel at people management without formal training. They’re asked to maintain a delicate interpersonal balance, fostering trust, psychological safety and motivation. Every leader needs a basic toolkit of leadership skills and strategies to avoid burnout while leading effective and human-friendly workplaces.  On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Jennifer Porritt, the founder and principal consultant of JP Consulting. Jenn is a human resources and training professional with more than 25 years experience helping leaders evolve and grow to support successful organizations. They explore common challenges leaders face and discuss several practical strategies for effective leadership.

    Can You Recognize Your Own Limitations? | Steve Bland PhD

    Intellectual humility is acknowledging your own knowledge and limitations, and it is generally seen as foundational for skills like critical thinking and decision-making. However, Dr. Steve Bland’s research suggests that cognitive diversity, which includes some intellectual arrogance and dissent, is actually beneficial in collective decision-making. Leaders can leverage the contributions of individuals who are “always right,” while also striving for intellectual humility at the team or organization level. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Steve Bland PhD, an Associate Professor in the Philosophy Department at Huron University. His work focuses on the intersection of empirical science and philosophical theory. They discuss the challenges and impacts of intellectual humility in the workplace, and how leaders can take a collectivist approach to creating humbling environments.   Keep Up with Steve: https://philpapers.org/s/Steven%20Bland Become a Learning Snippets Partner:  https://dialectic.solutions/learning-snippets/become-a-partner/ Try Learning Snippets: https://dialectic.solutions/signup Contact Us to Be a Guest on Just One Q: https://dialectic.solutions/podcast-guest
