Seminar Overview
Unconscious Bias is a weakness we all have developed as humans because the brain uses previous information stored, to make decision-making less onerous. So, this shortcut can be very useful. Most of the things we do repeatedly are done without conscious thought. However, what happens when the shortcuts do not serve us or others? What happens when the shortcuts hurt others, based on the associations that our brains make at a deep unconscious level? Unconscious Bias is the 800lb gorilla hiding in plain sight, that is creating havoc in the workplace. But what exactly is it and why is it important to understand its genesis, behavior, and remedies? The sad thing is that most of us will say we have no biases, but the truth is that we all do in some way. But how do we check ourselves to ensure that no one suffers under our watch? Is it even possible to detect what is unconscious? This workshop seeks to address the challenges that Unconscious Bias presents in the workplace and provides participants with tools to respond effectively.
Three learning objectives participants could expect from attending this webinar:
1. Self-awareness by checking our own actions and behaviors often, by knowing what to observe.
2. Courage to hold one's self-accountable and adjust behavior as needed.
3. How to hold others accountable and practice conscious right action consistently.
