Dr. Khalilah Olokunola, Sr. Advisor, Talentnova, known to many as KO, joins us to share her pivotal role in reimagining human resources for justice-impacted individuals. Her transformative journey from event and set design to spearheading HR innovation demonstrates a steadfast commitment to championing marginalized talent. Through her collaboration with True Colors and establishment of the Disrupt You onboarding program, KO illustrates how HR can serve as a catalyst for genuinely inclusive, purpose-driven, and prosperous workplaces.The conversation takes a deep dive into the nuances of fair chance hiring, revealing that it's about more than just filling positions—it's about tapping into the often-overlooked potential of those who've faced legal challenges. We explore how companies can perform self-assessments, spot allies within their ranks, and embrace interviewing practices that foster inclusivity. By sharing success stories from corporations like JP Morgan Chase and initiatives such as the Second Chance Business Coalition, we underscore how fair chance hiring not only leads to lower attrition rates but also bolsters a company's culture and morale, all while contributing to the larger social fabric.Navigating the intricacies of fair chance hiring isn't without its challenges, yet it offers a horizon of hope for many. We delve into strategies for employers to overcome biases and create environments that are truly inclusive, emphasizing the full person framework in recruitment, considering cognitive abilities, motivation, skills, and resilience. Our engagement with KO brings forth compelling anecdotes and practical insights, culminating in a discussion on the power of resilience, skills-based hiring, and the ripple effect such practices have on communities. For those seeking a fresh start, it's not just about a job—it's about the transformative potential of a second chance.Find, Dr. Khalilah "KO" Olokunola here:khalilaholokunola.comLinkedInDo/ Recruit/ How to Find and Keep Great PeopleInstagram @ KhailahequipsTalentnova.comConnect with us:Email the podcast.Join us on Instagram - we appreciate your support!Dana Dowdell - Boss Consulting - @bossconsultinghr - @hrfanatic

Khalilah and Ryan talk everything from bussin' to wet noodles in the classroom and in practice. From professional dynamics to work/life boundaries, the thOTs spill the tea on generational differences and similarities. From social media to sex work, the Drs. stan Gen Z and give the boomers down the road for bogarting.

Come on interdisciplinary! The Dr. thOTs duo are excited to invite everybody's favorite "long time listener, first time caller" to the podcast. Dr. Suzanne Huot is an internationally known Canadian occupational scientist and geographer whose research focuses on immigration, space generation, and linguistic inclusion. However, she is also a unicorn of an occupational scientist because she is not an occupational therapist! In this episode Ryan and Khalilah discuss Dr. Huot's experience as a scientist but not a therapist - but still teaching occupational therapists and researching through a lens of occupation. They unpack how occupation caught Dr. Huot's eye as a geographer and how it has developed within her research with francophone Canadians and immigrants. The three dive into the politics of belonging, Canadian vs US occupational practice, accents, and the benefits and challenges of not being an OT in OS. Highlights include: Dr. Huot recommends a business leadership podcast, Khalilah thinks about learning ASL, and Ryan excludes some bus buddies.

Doom scrolling got you down? SCOTUS got you suffering? Well, the Dr. thOTs duo is in the building with an episodic remedy. This episode is an ode to optimism and filling our cups when the negativity is rolling around. Filled with tangents and laughs, Khalilah and Ryan do a brief recap of how they got into OS, the benefits they've found from having that science brain, and the ways its been exciting in their work. They cover everything from wine to candy crush, drag and going to gym. The thOTs talk existential occupational questions, community building, and whether we can touch government or not. There's also a teaser tangent about whether "fieldwork" is problematic that demonstrates the OS brain in action. HIghlights include: Khalilah comes out as a gaming queen, Ryan is the least friendly person, and OS gets spicy!
The Dr. thOTs duo welcome the "great connector", Dr. Sue Coppola to the episode this week and partake in a beauty-filled, aesthetically pleasing, conversation with her as the three discuss humanities, art, and occupational therapy practice and education. If you ever wanted to know exactly what a painting on a wall has to do with occupational therapy - this is the episode for you. Dr. Coppola reveals the power of aesthetic analysis of occupation and understanding what is beautiful to a person as part of occupational therapy practice and education. Art is everywhere in our everyday lives and can be a powerful tool in both occupational therapy practice and education. Dr. Coppola describes how she uses a painting called "Mending Socks" to engage occupational therapy practitioners in deep noticing of the beauty in their own and their clients' everyday lives. Highlights include: Ryan and Sue fangirling over John Dewey, Khalilah bringing art into the classroom, and all three dispelling the Hippie Dippie myth of humanities!
The Dr. thOTs duo welcome Sarah Lyon and Tomeico Faison to the podcast this week to talk business about business. These two practitioners have taken entrepreneurship to new heights, leveraging their OT approach in everything from real estate to evidence based practice education. Also sidenote: This episode marks the first "blending of the blues" in Dr. thOTs herstory - come on collaboration with rivals! The guests describe their experiences developing and running business using their occupational therapy skills and values. They are intentional and accidental entrepreneurs who are ready to lead OTPs in thinking innovatively about practice. They discuss OT education in entrepreneurship and the need for an entrepreneurial spirit across all areas of practice, however language for this practice area is sort of a bummer. Any listeners have better ideas? Highlights include: Tomeico having a zoo, Khalilah throwing shade at some book publishers, Ryan making a sports reference- kind of, and Sarah getting a little risky!
