Recorded On: 09/20/2022

Unconscious bias is pervasive in all human behavior, yet we rarely discuss it, or analyze its impact on our daily lives. This presentation defines unconscious bias and discusses how this phenomenon shows up in our professional and personal interactions.

The session will be a lively, hands on discussion with videos and break out groups designed to make participants think and reflect on where their biases lie and how they can begin to reduce their bias and the influence it has on their day to day decision making and judgments.
