60% of women ages 18 to 29 report that they or a female family member have been sexually harassed. 51% of black Americans say they have personally experienced people using racial slurs against them. 35% of Asian Americans report personally experiencing people making insensitive or offensive comments or negative assumptions about their race or ethnicity.

Why is this happening? 100% of people are biased but most do not know it? Research has shown that it is this unconscious implicit bias that causes discrimination and the “isms” that exist in society. This highly interactive workshop will help you understand how to at minimum de-bias yourself so you have better interactions creating a more welcoming environment and even better become an ally so you can spark innovation leveraging beneficial perspectives that improve organizational performance.
