Workshop Description:
Did you know that every second our body unconsciously processes only 0.00000004% of the 11,000,000 bits of information it receives? The billions of stimuli that bypass rational and logical thinking and influence our behaviors and how we navigate the world around us. Answers to questions such as: "Do I trust this person?" and "Is that person competent?" have already been formulated I even meet a person. That is unconscious bias; a powerful invisible enemy to good intentions.
Even though no one is exempt from its pitfalls, we can take steps to align our unconscious behaviors with our conscious intentions on a personal, social, and systemic level. In this interactive workshop, we will identify the scientific root cause of unconscious bias and develop strategies to combat its negative effects. This workshop is for any interpreter.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Name the 4 root causes of unconscious biases
- Identify the impact of manifestations of unconscious bias
- Describe barriers to authentically unpacking bias
- Formulate strategies strengthen the alignment of behaviors with intentions
