Unconscious Bias 2.0: Going Deeper (H4)

Overview::


We all have our own biases, ones that support us and others that detract. Being unaware of our biases can significantly harm well intended efforts in the workplace and in life. Having bias is part of our makeup, however it is our responsibility to self reflect and realize what unconscious biases we have.

Leaders should use one's discretionary effort to make decisions with mindfulness. Otherwise, not understanding our unconscious bias could lead to negative outcomes that we never intended.


Topics:

  • Current trends in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
  • Understanding unconscious bias and how it shows up
  • Interactive exercises in how to uncover unconscious biases
  • How to move forward with intention
