Unconscious Bias: The Power of Positive Psychology
The brain is naturally inclined to make generalizations — some true, some false, some good, some bad. When these generalizations result in stereotypes and biases, we have the power to self-regulate…to foster more positive connections, allowing individuals to communicate confidently with one another.
This LIVE, virtual, instructor-led workshop uses positive psychology and relevant research to teach learners how unconscious biases form and what to do when they have an unconscious bias or are a target of someone else’s unconscious bias. Featuring highly interactive exercises, it empowers participants to immediately demonstrate inclusive behaviors and contribute to inclusive work cultures.
