Presentation: Critical Conversations on Unconscious Bias: Recognize it and Self Correct
Abstract: In this very interactive session, attendees will look at how creating a cohesive workplace requires understanding unconscious bias and applying what we learn to work together in a cohesive environment using proven communication and connection strategies. Throughout the session, attendees participate in role-playing using real-life examples to help us recognize our own unconscious bias and how it impacts the organization. This is done through self-awareness and self-reflection. These examples will help us consider “How did that situation make us feel?”, “What did you think about while the situation was happening, and “What did you learn about yourself and others?” You will learn best practices for what to say to dispel myths and stereotypes and engage in dialogue. That will be the catalyst for positive change and acceptance. The presenter will provide practical tips that will help you manage situations positively and more productively.
