Join us for “What you need to know about Unconscious Bias”
Jessica Sharp, Founder & CEO, Sharp Brain Consulting
All of us have unconscious biases, stories we make up about groups of people before we interact with them. These biases do not make us good or bad people, they exist because we have a brain. Our unconscious biases can have a negative impact on our interactions and leadership decisions. These biases have created and continued inequities across organizations and systems, and many people do not know or believe they exist. This session will provide an overview of unconscious bias and provide the brain science necessary to understand and mitigate the impacts of bias. BONUS interactive ZOOM “What YOU can do about Unconscious Bias” March 2, 11:45-12:30.
