Making the Unconscious Conscious: Understanding and Mitigating Bias (UCD, virtual)
Jan. 26, 2023

Bias, in its most simplistic definition, is preferring one thing over another. Biases come into play in our impression and judgment of people, especially those whose identities and experiences are different from our own. This session will explore how socialization informs snap judgments we make about people. Participants will be introduced to theory and language in understanding implicit and explicit bias. Using personal reflection, experiential exercises and case studies, participants will gain greater awareness when they engage in bias and gain essential knowledge and skills (tools) in how they recognize and mitigate biases in both personal and professional domains.

It has also been proven that the mentally strongest people have specific habits that drive their fortitude. In this course, Scott Mautz teaches different habits you can incorporate into your daily routine to specifically build your mental strength, contributing to success on so many fronts. Scott shows you how to strive for authenticity instead of approval; choose who gets to criticize you; avoid falling victim to comparison; stop asking for permission; stop giving away your power, and more.
