Summary
This workshop focuses on helping people understand how they make decisions, how they navigate in the world, what their own thinking processes are and how bias can get in the way of those processes. We will not only examine biases, but also explore 6 ways to combat biases in ourselves. The workshop works on the “inclusiveness” of men in the diversity process with concrete examples and concrete take-aways to heighten awareness within the workplace. Depending on if the group is mixed or men only, some of the methodology will vary.
