In this podcast, shareholders Nonnie Shivers (Phoenix) and Scott Kelly (Birmingham) discuss the complexities of participating in and/or sponsoring cultural events that celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in light of the current administration's scrutiny of such programs. Using Pride Month as a focal point, Scott and Nonnie—who co-chairs the firm's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Compliance Practice Group—review the legalities and risks associated with these events. They also offer strategies for employers to balance celebration, education, and compliance while fostering an inclusive workplace.
In this installment of our Workplace Strategies Watercooler 2025 podcast series, three key members of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Compliance Practice Group—Simone Francis (St. Thomas/New York), Scott Kelly (Birmingham), and Nonnie Shivers (Phoenix)—address the status of DEI initiatives as they face unprecedented scrutiny. The speakers start by level setting about the status of equal employment opportunity laws, Title VII, Section 1981, and protected characteristics, while outlining strategies for adapting to increased DEI oversight and initiatives from the new administration. Nonnie (who co-chairs the firm's DEI Compliance Practice Group) drills down on the guardrails organizations can put in place regarding resource and affinity groups in the workplace, in addition to the legal status of quotas and preferences. Simone shares perspectives on the importance of identifying the goals of resource groups when assessing their legality and utility for an organization, and whether organizations have used objective data in designing these programs. Scott probes the usefulness of data regarding the policies, design, and implementation of resource groups especially when ensuring the practices of these groups do not go far afield from the policies used to implement them. Finally, Scott stresses the importance of internal and external communications about these programs while assessing these resource programs.
Life can get heavy, can't it? Yet I think we all need to remember, especially for the people that feel “strong,” that every strong person can feel weak too, but every "weak" person has access to strength. Nonnie starts off the episode about building strength, we need to remember that we have weak moments (2:02). She continues to explain more that asking for help is okay, and building off your weaknesses is your strength (8:55). Then, Brandon proposes a thought of why people stay in their weakness because they can't accept them (12:00). Furthermore, Nonnie explains the more we can make a regular practice of never giving up, we can build strength and determination to keep moving forward (16:55). Brandon then expresses that things take time and we need growing pains to gain wisdom and strength (23:55). In closing, Brandon and Nonnie discuss the importance of acknowledging and addressing where you need help (31:10). Stay connected with us on Instagram @nolossessilentwins Artwork by @plstip_
In this podcast, shareholders Nonnie Shivers and Scott Kelly delve into the enforcement activities after a preliminary injunction blocked key provisions (including the certification requirement) of two executive orders (EOs) issued to eliminate “illegal” diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and initiatives. Scott (who co-chairs the firm's Government Contracting and Reporting Practice Group) and Nonnie (who co-chairs the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Compliance Practice Group) discuss the implications of the national injunction recently issued by a federal judge, the ongoing enforcement activities not halted by the injunction, and the broader impact on federal contractors and DEI programs across all employers. Nonnie and Scott also highlight the importance of staying informed and assessing risk tolerance in light of the evolving legal landscapes, which employers can do with Ogletree's New Administration Resource Hub.
Being a strong person is never easy, but it is something to celebrate. Today's episode is a gentle reminder to remind you all that if you are going through something, someday you will celebrate it. Brandon starts off with his guest, Nonnie about her story and her upbringing (3:58). Later on, she expresses about her non-cancerous brain tumor (11:14) and the importance of advocating for yourself to get the help you need. Nonnie continues to explain how her faith and listening to Gospel music helped her through her trials (20:08). As well, she gives a shout out to her support system for being there when she needed them (31:55). In closing, Nonnie and Brandon both discuss the importance of getting the help when you need it and not beating yourself up when you go through any trials and tribulations (42:20).

November 19, 2006. Littleton, Colorado. First Lieutenant Nonnie Dotson, a 33-year old nurse with the United States Air Force, has travelled from San Antonio, Texas to Colorado with her infant daughter and is saying with her brother, Tony Dotson. Nonnie leaves Tony's residence in order to presumably travel to a nearby shopping center, but she never returns. Even though police track Nonnie's cell phone signal and her scent to a nearby field, no trace of her can be found. Investigators explore a number of different angles, including the possibility that Nonnie was harmed by a stalker, the estranged father of her child, and even her own brother, but she remains a missing person. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a baffling unsolved disappearance in which the victim seemingly vanished into thin air.

In this podcast recorded at Ogletree Deakins' national Workplace Strategies seminar, Nonnie Shivers (shareholder, Phoenix) and Tiffany Cox Stacy (office managing shareholder, San Antonio) discuss the EEOC's final guidance on harassment in the workplace. Tiffany and Nonnie cover the ways in which the new guidance, which the agency issued on April 29, 2024, updates, consolidates, and replaces the agency's previous guidance. They also explain the guidance's 70+ examples illustrating unlawful workplace harassment situations, covering both circumstances emerging in the office and in the ever-growing virtual workplace. Finally, Nonnie and Tiffany discuss what the EEOC's new guidance means for employers as they seek to keep their harassment policies and processes effective and compliant.
In this podcast recorded at Ogletree Deakins' national Workplace Strategies seminar, Nonnie Shivers (shareholder, Phoenix) and Scott Kelly (shareholder, Birmingham) discuss what the Supreme Court's ruling that race-based college admissions are unconstitutional means for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in the workplace. Scott and Nonnie discuss the legal framework for employers to consider when evaluating their voluntary DEI programming, including how to conduct a risk assessment of DEI programs, conflicting state laws, and questions specific to federal contractors. The speakers offer practical tips for designing and sustaining legally defensible DEI initiatives, including creative strategies to meet company goals without running afoul of the law.
On November 19th, 2006, Air Force nurse Nonnie Dotson and her 16-month-old daughter were visiting her brother in Littleton, Colorado, when she disappeared. The last person to see her was her brother at his home. There has been no sign of Nonnie since 2006, making it likely that she was a victim of foul play.

There is limited study on any type of walker in clinical trials. Do your own research and make sure you or your loved ones can use it safely. —Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FGSA, FAAN Are you thinking about getting a walker and not sure what you need to know before buying one? In looking into walkers in general, I discovered that a limited amount of research has been done on any type of walker in clinical trials. This is where you need to listen because the experts still say we need more high-quality research to come to any conclusions about their effectiveness. If you or your loved one utilizes any assistive device, it is crucial to ensure its safety. In today's episode, my oldest son, my grandmother, and I are checking out an upright walker in collaboration with OasisSpace. Tune in for a detailed, comprehensive review and learn how to SAVE 7% off using a Promo Code offered to you – our valued listeners! ▶️ Review of the OasisSpace Upright Walker: 5 Things to Know Key points covered in this episode: My grandmother, Nonnie, was very excited to try a stand-up walker. We tested it out based on the following Review Criteria: ✔️OVERALL QUALITY The Oasis Walker seemed to be of very high quality – it was sturdy, secure, and stable once put together, and it had the right weight limit to be safe for my grandmother. Please read the size chart carefully to know the weight limit (many only go up to 300 pounds), or they may only be available in one size. ✔️STABILITY and CONTROLLABILITY When you use a stand up walker, the person's center of gravity will be higher than it is with a traditional walker. The OasisSpace Walker did have a lot of stability. The amount of space she had to walk was also adequate, reducing risk of the walker being a trip hazard. ✔️ UNEVEN SURFACE HANDLING and EASE OF USE Be sure to select a model that most closely matches the intended location of use - indoors or outdoors. Nonnie had no problems using this walker outside, but it was a little different once we got inside her home (the front wheels got stuck on throw rugs). She did, however, have enough balance and strength to lift the walker over those surface differences. ✔️ TRIP HAZARD/ UNINTENDED MOVEMENT At first, we couldn't figure out how to get the brakes to set so that the walker wouldn't move while she turned around to sit on the seat. Nonnie figured it out shortly after we left the walker with her. The brake wires stick out a bit, but I think that could be solved with the use of zip ties to keep the wires a little closer to the walker so they don't get stuck on anything and trip my grandmother up. ✔️ FOLDING AND TRANSPORTING When this walker was extended to its full height, it was hard to get it into the back of my mid-sized SUV. However, it easily collapsed to its smallest size, and once we got the wheels to stay in place, it fit easily into the back of my car when it was adjusted to fit Nonnie's height. Overall, we both really liked the Oasis Walker! We initially thought she would use it indoors several times a day to regain strength in her back, but after having the walker for a few days, she let me know that she was more likely to use it outdoors.

“Motor scooters really can't make a major difference in the life of an older adult who might not otherwise be able to leave their home without one. This impacts their independence and as I found out, it actually impacts their care partners as well.” —Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FGSA, FAAN Imagine not being able to leave your home and go out with your family and friends due to debilitating back pain. Walking just 15 feet becomes a challenge, and you rely on a cane or rolling walker for shorter distances. How do you cope with basic activities like shopping or going out for lunch? Get ready for a super informative episode of This Is Getting Old: Moving Towards An Age-Friendly World! I've got six essential things to share with you about buying a motor scooter for yourself or a loved one. Trust me, it took four generations of my family just to take my grandmother, Nonnie, out for a day of lunch and shopping! Tune in and get the inside scoop on age-friendly mobility options! Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Whizzing Along - A Look at Motor Scooters Discover the world of motor scooters – the ultimate assistive technology. These sleek, battery-operated vehicles are perfect for individuals who are capable of walking but may need a little extra help getting around. With their convenient seat and handlebar steering, motor scooters offer both comfort and control. Whether you're cruising on the pavement or hitting the road, these versatile scooters can take you anywhere you need to go. Equipped with essential features like speed control, a horn, and even storage options, motor scooters are designed with your convenience in mind. Safety is a priority too, as users must be able to turn their head to look behind them when backing up. However, it's important to note that, unlike wheelchairs, motor scooters are not guaranteed access to all buildings under the American Disabilities Act. ✔️ Before You Buy: 6 Factors To Consider Before Purchasing a Motor Scooter #1. Where Do You Want To Go? My mom brought Nonnie to town for a doctor's appointment on this particular morning. When it came to choosing a restaurant for lunch, our top priority was finding one that was fully accessible. We decided on the Oceanic, located by the beach, because they had a spacious ramp leading to the entrance. Although the ramp had a tight turn, Nonnie managed to navigate it and transfer to her chair. Thankfully, the restaurant wasn't crowded, so there was enough room for her scooter to be parked right by our table. #2. How Agile Is The Scooter In Tight Spaces? Nonnie effortlessly navigates a ramp and makes a sharp turn to enter a restaurant. Before we left, we made sure to stop by the bathroom to ensure the scooter could easily fit inside. Nonnie smoothly transferred onto the scooter, entered the stall, and then drove out. As we were leaving, Davis was incredibly helpful by opening the door for her. Nonnie skillfully maneuvered back down the ramp without any difficulties. Her scooter handled the transition from the boardwalk to the pavement flawlessly. #3. How Much Does The Scooter And The Battery Weigh? Discovering the weight range of scooters was quite surprising - they can weigh anywhere from 46 to 400 pounds, excluding the battery. My grandmother's scooter, ith its 25-pound battery, weighed well over 50 to 60 pounds. It was quite a challenge to lift it from my mom's car to the pavement and back. Thankfully, Davis was there to help us with this heavy task. However, my mom and aunt wouldn't be able to handle the weight on their own, making it impossible for them to take my grandmother anywhere with the scooter. We definitely need lighter scooters. #4. How Will You Get It To Another Location – Does It Fit Into The Back Of Your Vehicle? Transporting a scooter can be quite a challenge! Especially when it comes to fitting it in the back of your vehicle. Trust me, I've been there, done that. And let me tell you, it's not a pretty sight. However, picking up and disassembling the scooter can make the process a bit of a fiasco. My mom's car was no exception - it required some strategic planning and a bit of a game of Tetris to get the scooter securely in the back. But with a little patience and some creative thinking, we were able to make it work. So if you find yourself in a similar situation, don't stress - it may take a little extra effort, but it's definitely doable. #5. How Easy It Is To Disassemble And Reassemble? While Davis handled the heavy lifting, I was in charge of assembly. I must admit, our second stop at the shopping center was a bit challenging. We asked three people for assistance, but they were as clueless about the scooter as we were. However, after some trial and error, we were able to reassemble it successfully. It's worth noting that even the chair itself was bulky and difficult to align and fit onto the pedestal. Removing the seat to transport it from the restaurant to the shopping center added another complication. #6. How Far Will It Go On One Battery Charge? Scooters can travel varying distances on a single charge, ranging from 10 to 35 miles. Nonnie's scooter had a full battery so we went shopping for lunch using her scooter, successfully navigating sidewalks, curbs, and most aisles in the department store. Nonnie was able to complete her shopping independently, demonstrating impressive focus and determination to accomplish her goals. ✔️ Don't Keep Those Scooter Stories To Yourself!Don't be shy, share your scooter stories with us!

Welcome to this week's episode of the StephUp Podcast! Thank you for your support and for coming back each week to listen. This episode features special guest, children's book author Rene Schultz, who has written the book “A Million More Kisses”.Rene's book is about loss and grief, as well as learning to say goodbye, and is written in a way that makes sense to children. This book also teaches how to properly grieve and be strong. The cover of “A Million More Kisses” features a dog name Geronimo, which is based off Rene's own chihuahua. The main character Nonnie is based off Rene's mother-in-law. Rene feels that writing these kinds of books is important because children experience loss and grief too, and it's important that they identify and manage with their feelings.Stephanie and Rene begin their discussion by talking about Rene's childhood, which holds painful memories of child abuse and trauma. She discusses how she was affected throughout her childhood and into her adulthood, including her experiences within her church, and the different ways in which she coped and was able to finally heal. Rene states that she was dealing with grief and loss while writing and had to learn to move forward. With hope and faith, Rene got through her grief and was able to finish this book.Stephanie and Rene also talk about a course that Rene has written based on faith. The concept is that faith and hope can help you to create boundaries within relationship, develop coping skills, and help with forgiveness. This course is for people who are stuck and wanting to move forward. There is more to life than what we are sitting and stewing in. It's important to heal your inner child.When it comes to advice for other writers who are trying to get published, Rene's says to never give up on your dream. Keep pushing and you will get there.“Bit by bit, row by row, that's how we make our dreams grow”Listen in to hear the rest of their conversation and please remember to rate, subscribe, and share with your friends!

I knew nothing about children's books, or children's characters, or the entertainment industry, or anything. But I knew this was meant to be. -Sheila Duncan It all started one day in 2006 when Sheila was spending time with her twelve year old niece, Kendra who had experienced a series of losses. First, her father passed away, then her grandmother “Nonnie” died of cancer, and finally, the family dog, Irish died as well. Through her tears, Kendra looked up at the TV and saw a telethon about children with cancer. She drew a picture of a small grey puppy and said: “His name's “Trouble” and he's gonna help kids having trouble in their lives”. Sheila remembers believing very deeply that something “divinely inspired” happened that day. The story line and the concept for the popular “Trouble The Dog” children's book series was hatched and Sheila became the force that carried her niece's compassion forward to the world. And it hasn't been easy! In this interview, Sheila talks about what it takes to breathe life into an idea. With experience in the restaurant and the travel industries, she tapped into her inner-entrepreneur, figuring out how to break into the children's book market with the first two books in the Trouble The Dog series, and then, how to manufacture a huggable plush toy by the same name, made in the USA. www.troublethedog.net. Throughout this interview, Sheila talks about the value of persistence, even when no one believes in your idea: “I listened to my intuition and to what the kids were saying to me. It was like there was a big foot in my back, propelling me forward. I just kept on going.” Trouble The Dog has given comfort to children in foster care who receive him as part of their therapy. He has traveled to Haiti after the earthquake, and to Newtown, Connecticut where he comforted children directly affected by the shootings at Sandy Hook. And it's not just children who feel his love. Trouble has even helped wounded soldiers at Walter Reed cope with their injuries. With the upcoming release of a third book in the Trouble The Dog series, Sheila and Kendra's mission to bring Trouble's message to the world keeps on going. Says Sheila: “There's something enchanting about this pup called Trouble. He comforts kids. Our next step is to bring Trouble to life on your TV screen as a meaningful cartoon series!” #hope #troublethedog
