Dr. Tana M. Session

(1.5 virtual; 2 hours in-person)

What is Unconscious & Implicit Bias? We cannot address it if we do not know what it is or how it shows up in our decision-making. Regardless of our ethnicity, gender, nationality or social economic background, and regardless of how open-minded you may think you are; we are ALL guilty of unconscious bias. Sometimes it shows up as a fleeting thought as you pass someone on the streets, or a snap judgment you make about someone you meet for the first time. Through candid conversations, open dialogue, and real-world examples, this session will uncover the shocking truth of how Unconscious & Implicit Bias shows up in our daily decision-making and how it can impact the workplace, employees and overall productivity. Live facilitated training includes interactive activities, videos, and live Q&A throughout the session, along with follow-up resources to help continue individual learning.

• Identify real-world examples of how Unconscious & Implicit Bias has negatively impacted people’s careers and lives.
