    [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. This rebellion is at best misunderstood and at worst, misdiagnosed. The Access Point hosts Drs. Lonnie & Wendy welcome special guest Dr. Tracy G. Crump to discuss further. Discussion Insights: What are some universal truths about the current world of work we should all understand? How do non-cognitive skills help us navigate the realities of work? Is there a correlation between purpose at work and rebellion? How do you develop a plan for you life so you aren't a rebel without a cause? Connect with Dr. Edmonds & Dr. Morris on LinkedIn.

    [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 & Wendy welcome special guest Rasháanda Cook 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. Lonnie & Wendy welcome special guest Deborah Owens to discuss further. Discussion Insights: How to spot manipulation, gaslighting and other coercive communications techniques used at work? How should Black/brown professionals appropriately take control of tense workplace interactions? Connect with Dr. Edmonds & Dr. Morris on LinkedIn.

    [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. Lonnie & Wendy welcome special guest Dr. Brenda Carter to discuss further. Discussion Insights: What is gatekeeping? What does this mean in the workplace? What is the long term effect of not dealing with gatekeeping - overt and covert? What do we want to see in people who control access to power, information, opportunity, and resources? Connect with Dr. Edmonds & Dr. Morris on LinkedIn.

    [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 & Wendy welcome special guest Dr. Candice Hunter 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 & Dr. Morris on LinkedIn.

    [S5E4] Your Life's Work (ft. Dr. Ayanna Lynch)

    The work experience can be especially magical, when the work is so intertwined to your life's purpose and your reason for being. Drs. Lonnie & Wendy welcome special guest Dr. Ayanna Lynch to discuss how to ensure your well stays full, even as you pour into others. Discussion Insights: In an utopian world, we would all have a job that fits perfectly with our purpose. If you aren't one of the lucky ones - how do we jumpstart that right now? Sometimes the nature of the work can make it challenging to connect with purpose on your own. Sometimes it takes a communal effort. How can we do this together? Can connecting to your purpose via work (in some form) mitigate the mental health crisis facing our workforce? Connect with Dr. Edmonds & Dr. Morris on LinkedIn.

    [S5E3] For The Culture (ft. Jason William Johnson)

    If culture is loosely defined as the way things get done, how might racial and ethnic cultural norms impact how Black and brown folks show up in work spaces, that historically were not designed to include them? Drs. Lonnie & Wendy welcome special guest Jason William Johnson to talk about the history, impact, and reach of Black culture and showing up at work "for the culture"! Discussion Insights: How does hip hop culture support our wellbeing in the workplace? When we think about work, how else is hip hop underutilized? How do we leverage the threads of social justice in hip hop culture for organizational justice? Connect with Dr. Edmonds & Dr. Morris on LinkedIn.

    [S5E2] Workplace Activist (ft. Dr. Rashida Govan)

    For Black and brown professionals, work can be the polarizing experience where you can be celebrated for representing the 'underrepresented', while simultaneously being shunned and silenced for your representation. Drs. Lonnie & Wendy welcome special guest Dr. Rashida Govan to talk about how to stand in the fullness of your "Black power" while at work.  Discussion Insights: What does it mean to advocate for self at work? What happens at the intersection of self-advocacy and activism? How do we navigate the advocacy vs. professionalism debacle? Connect with Dr. Edmonds & Dr. Morris on LinkedIn.
