Exploring Unconscious Bias

In order to cultivate high performing organizations, we must tap into the rich resources of our global community and ensure fairness and justice in the workplace. To accomplish this, we define diversity broadly, including, but not limited to the legally protected categories. Diversity encompasses all that makes us unique, which allows us to realize our full performance potential and harness the innovation that diversity offers. Participants will discover ways to become more self-aware as leaders and build stronger, more inclusive teams. You will learn frameworks and models that you can leverage to capitalize on your organization’s diversity of backgrounds, ethnicities, origins, and perspectives, among others.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify various forms of bias and deepen awareness of unconscious bias in particular
  • Apply learning to organizational outcomes and team performance
  • Employ practices that examine organizational or company culture for unconscious bias or accidental discrimination

Feedback is important for both the giver and the receiver. Participants learn how the feedback conversation increases self-awareness, provides opportunities for change/accountability, and improves individual and organizational effectiveness, among other benefits. You will explore the interpersonal challenges around giving and receiving feedback, including the most prevalent of reasons people shy away from feedback (the need to be accepted and liked or the fear of reprisal and rejection) and discover tactics to apply during these conversations.
