Join us on April 9, 2024, to hear from Dr. Tana M. Session, an award-winning Consultant, International Speaker, Executive-level Performance Coach, Best-selling Author, Thought Leader, and Media Contributor

Presentation Overview:

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 judgement 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. 


Presentation Objectives:

  • Identify real-world examples of how Unconscious & Implicit Bias has negatively impacted people's careers and lives. 
  • Be able to identify strategies you can easily implement to help mitigate Unconscious & Implicit Bias in your personal and professional lives. 
  • Develop the language to help address Unconscious & Implicit Bias when you witness it demonstrated by others ("Bystander Allyship").
  • Experience a positive mind-shift and view about other humans you interact with daily.
