What's In A Title? with guest Colonel Yvonne Spencer(Episode 6)

This week on [un]phased Shaunna and Lisa are joined by a very special guest, Colonel Yvonne Spencer. Colonel Spencer is the first ever African American woman commander of the 819th Red Horse Squadron of the United States Air Force. She is also a multi-time Ironman finisher, triathlon coach, and founder of the Fast Chix Triathlon Club. Together with Colonel Spencer, Shaunna and Lisa discuss the importance of addressing a person by their proper name and title -- until they give permission otherwise. Calling a person by their proper name and title is important; it shows respect and acknowledges them for who they are and what they have achieved. Conversely, choosing not to use someone’s title is disrespectful, especially when you don’t know the person. The intentional dropping of a person’s title is often used as a tool of oppression. It is a method by which those with power attempt to put someone (back) in their (perceived) place. Shaunna, Lisa, and Colonel Spencer also talk about the importance of representation, and why it matters in both leadership and sport. If we never see anyone who looks like us participating in activities we are curious about, we may never realise those activities are achievable and accessible to us. Colonel Spencer highlights why having diversity in leadership positions, or “fresh eyes” as they say in the Air Force, is important to allow for greater representation of all groups in the places where decisions are made. Shaunna and Lisa also give us an update on their micro-allyship challenge from last week. Send in your questions, comments, or micro-allyship examples to info@unphasedpodcast.com
