Purpose and Background
Many industry professions value and leverage pattern recognition and informed judgment based on limited information. While this is a huge strength for many leaders, managers and employees, it could also lead to unconscious biases in our decision making when it comes to day-to-day issues like hiring, mentoring, promoting, staffing, developing people, and engaging with clients. Through an engaging mix of insights, exercises, illustrations, activities, polls, and videos, this session will enable participants to understand, identify, and manage their unconscious biases. Session participants leave with specific strategies and tactics that they can deploy in their day-to-day work to maximize intuitive strengths and minimize unintended fallout.
