Implicit Bias and Microaggressions
You have probably heard the expression “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.” Maybe it’s true somewhere, but when it  comes to dealing with our biases, it could not be farther from the truth. In the first session, we will look at the biases we all have, many of which we may not be conscious of. Not only can they hurt us, but they can hurt our clients and co-workers, and our productivity as well. Becoming aware of our own biases will help us mitigate them in the workplace and promote a culture of courtesy, respect, and collaboration.
In part two of this two-part series, we will focus on microaggressions. Merriam -Webster defines a microaggression as a "comment or action that subtly and often unconsciously or unintentionally expresses a prejudiced attitude toward a member of a marginalized group (such as a racial minority)" They are experienced as slights, insults, indignities, and denigrating messages even though they may not have been intended to cause harm and invisible to the perpetrator. This online workshop will include discussion, exercises, and actions we can take to understand, uncover and reduce some of our biases in a safe and constructive environment.
