Understanding Unconscious Bias, Private Session

Understanding Unconscious Bias (6 Hours)

In this full-day training, participants will learn what unconscious bias is and how it shows up in the places they are the most comfortable. What if we took the opportunity to reflect on why we hire someone or why we like to work within smaller groups? Using research and activities, this training uncovers how difficult conversations help uncover bias and how tough conversations are not confrontational but validating. No preparation is necessary, as you will all come with your biases, as we all have them.

• Explore ways bias shows up in the way we interact with colleagues.
