If You’re Human, You’re Biased: How Our Biases Impact Our Decisions, Interactions and Perceptions
A Special Workshop by: Jocelyn Giangrande, M.A., SPHR, CCDP, SHRM-SCP
Not your typical workshop! Biases are the result of a variety of messages introduced into our subconscious from an early age and if you’re human, you’re biased. Many of these biases are deep in our unconscious and often influence how we perceive others, determine dangerous situations and make quick judgements. Biases are not restricted to any one group, and all of us have them.
In this interactive workshop, participants engage in dialog, discussions and exercises around understanding the origin of biases and how they may impact human dynamics, perceptions and interactions. This is not a workshop to eliminate biases, as that is impossible. Instead, we’ll explore how our biases protect us and how they may contribute to misconceptions about others and different situations.
