There are over 150 types of biases, both conscious and unconscious. While some of us are self-aware and understand the depth and breadth of our biases, many of us could improve our level of awareness, particularly in relation to our unconscious biases.
Unconscious bias refers to a person's attitude or beliefs about others that happen without the person being aware of it. In the workplace, these subconscious preferences affect our opinions based on facts or experiences from our past. Unconscious biases negatively affect our decision-making and workplace culture, creating opportunities for stereotyping, pre-judging, hiring process unfairness, treating employees differently, and even discrimination. Our biases also negatively impact workplace culture and teams because we treat other people unfairly or differently without even realizing it.
This workshop helps attendees understand our biases, how they negatively impact our workplace. We will explore the most common forms of bias and provide tools to adjust our automatic patterns of thinking, so that we can improve our self-awareness, keep our biases in check, and improve our workplace culture.

Why Should You Attend
Understanding and overcoming our biases is core to successful leadership. If we don’t understand how we are viewing those around us and why, we will inevitably treat other people unfairly or differently without even realizing it. If we want to be respected and successful leaders, we have to adjust our automatic patterns of thinking, so that we can improve our self-awareness, keep our biases in check, and improve our workplace culture. Come and get tools for overcoming your unconscious biases.
