Summary

This week we’re rebroadcasting an interview featuring yours truly (Chanté) on the Greater Than Code podcast! (**Originally published on June 5th, 2019**) About Greater Than Code (GTC): For a long time, tech culture has focused too narrowly on technical skills; this has resulted in a tech community that too often puts companies and code over people. Greater Than Code is a podcast that invites the voices of people who are not heard from enough in tech: women, people of color, trans and/or queer folks, to talk about the human side of software development and technology. Greater Than Code is providing a vital platform for these conversations, and developing new ideas of what it means to be a technologist beyond just the code. In this special episode we discuss: 01:56 - Chanté’s Superpower: Spotting Talent (Dark Horses) 05:33 - Perceiving Talent/Potential Essentialism 09:15 - Confronting Biases and Societal Categorization/Division/Labeling 18:54 - Identity as a Feedback Loop 25:04 - Health and Wellness and Human Potential 27:00 - Privilege vs Potential Actuality, Capability, Potentiality Brain of the Firm by Stafford Beer Sapir–Whorf Hypothesis 36:31 - Framing; Framing as Related to Coaching Matt Ringel: Whiteboarding 101 Functional Fixedness RailsConf 2019 - Keynote: The Stories We Tell Our Children by Ariel Caplan 49:39 - Working with Organizations to Improve Diversity and Inclusion (Using Metrics) Campbell’s Law ---- Learn more about Greater Than Code here Twitter: @GreaterThanCode Patreon: GreaterThanCode ---- Don't forget to follow us on Twitter/Instagram: @TDHCast | Facebook: @TheDarkestHorseCast 🦄🌟 CREDITS: Co-founders + Co-hosts: Chanté Thurmond & Rada Yovovich Producer: Chanté Thurmond Editor: Zaiden Sowle Instrumental: "Get Rich" by Norfstar
