Diversity & Inclusion Series
Topic: Diversity & Inclusion: Undoing Unconscious Bias by Inclusive Design
Speaker: Dr. Alexis Washington
- Most informed leaders
have learned about unconscious bias and heard that everyone has
it. So what does the inclusive leader do to overcome unconscious biases?
Wake up! In this session, we will examine unconscious biases, uncover the
underpinnings of inclusive leadership and explore methods that inclusive
leaders can use to overcome the attitudes, blind spots and roadblocks
that undermine inclusive cultures.

and/or acquiring some of the additional resources provided(see below).
