LD1465B - The Codes of Curiosity & Empathy: Turn Unconscious Bias into Conscious Inclusion

"The Code of Curiosity" begins a journey of awareness of our own biases. This session will create a safe and vulnerable environment for all of us to begin to explore the influences that have formed our biases. It will help us develop clarity and vulnerability to explore what triggers us, and what causes us to express our biases in positive and negative ways. And it will give us hope through knowledge because we are all biased, we are not broken, and we are just human. Finding that common ground gives us all a starting point to work together to be more curious and to build more inclusive workplaces. With this awareness, we can approach our roles with more curiosity to improve outcomes in interviewing, sales and product development for example.
